We Together 2022

Anglican Diocese of British Columbia

St Paul Anglican Church

We Together is our diocesan biennial family reunion. It's an opportunity to reconnect with old friends and a time to make new ones. Together we learn about, pray about and share what God is up to in our lives, strengthening ourselves as the diocese of islands and inlets for the journey God is calling us to.We are very excited about this year's conference, which will provide space to consider our role in building the peaceable kingdom imagined and longed for in scripture. The conference will begin with a banquet followed by the Bishop's address on Friday evening. On Saturday, two keynote addresses will be complemented by two opportunities to discuss in small groups.Our first keynote speaker is Jillian Harris, a knowledge holder, Elder and former Chief of the Penelakut Tribe. She studied at Vancouver School of Theology and is a traditional funeral worker in her community. She will invite us to remember the earliest Church of England missions here on these islands and inlets, and what they might mean for us now. Our second keynote speaker is Rachel Brown. Rachel is the program coordinator at the Centre for Studies in Religion and Society at the University of Victoria. She is a religious studies scholar who has had an integral role in the project that has culminated in the publication of Religion at the Edge: Nature, Spirituality, and Secularity in the Pacific Northwest (UBC Press 2022).We will end our time with the celebration of the Eucharist and a closing sermon by John Thatamanil, our diocesan theologian. John is a comparative theologian and professor of theology at Union Theological Seminary. John will reflect on our time together and send us back into our places with a renewed sense of what it means to be here in this place. ** PLEASE NOTE ** We are only able to accommodate gluten-free and vegetarian food restrictions.
