Workshops
Ecumenical Workshop with Rev. Janet Anstead and Pastor Peter Noteboom
For the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), Christian unity has always been our polar star. That has led Disciples to historically participate in most ecumenical gatherings. We were one of the founding members of the Canadian Council of Churches in 1944. Come to this workshop to see how the Canadian Council of Churches works on our behalf to further Christian unity in Canada and around the world. See what valuable resources are available to help bring ecumenism to your congregation and your community.
