REGINA — At the end of May, the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Regina held a Synod gathering on Pope Francis’s call for the Catholic church to embrace and explore Synodality.Synodality means gathering the whole people of God for conversation, listening and discerning a way forward. Rev. Michael Bruce was an ecumenical observer, appointed by Bishop Helen Kennedy. The Roman Catholic Church has developed strategies to engage not only with those who regularly participate in the life of the church, but also with those who have drifted away for a variety of reasons.“Kitchen table and Coffee” resources were developed to empower friends and family to have conversations with those who have drifted away from the church. While this attempt to reach out had its issues, it did result in participation from victims of clergy abuse, the gay community, indigenous, divorced, and the Roman Catholic women priest groups. The sharing was open and honest and reflected an impressive diversity of views.

Anglican observes diverse viewpoints at Catholic synod
Talking with others about Jesus can be difficult, but three passages in the New Testament can provide inspiration to help people overcome those fears.
By Philip Der Wycliffe Institute of Evangelism
When I was a newly preacher,ordainedmy hope was once I preached on evangelism, my congregants would go out and share the good news with others, and church membership would grow from that point on. After many years of ministry, that hope has been disappointed time and again. As preachers, we might want to blame this state of affairs on parishioners, reasoning that they are slow to accept and listen, or that they are too unenthusiastic to act. Yet we all know that laying blame on others without exploring the root cause of the issue is futile. So how can we, as preachers, best encourage our people to share their faith with people whose lives intersect with theirs? After doing much listening, I came to discover the following three reasons for my congregants’ lack of passion for evangelism, and three passages of Scripture that, when preached well, could help address these challenges.
Jesus’ commandment was, ”Love one another as I have loved you” (John 15:12). We must encourage church members to love one another by caring, listening, supporting, and praying for each other. With permission, we can give real-life examples in our sermons to commend some of their good works. I have found that when positive energy is instilled in others from the pulpit, members feel acknowledged and recognize that their pastors appreciate them. It is then more likely that they will do more and feel great about their church.Everyone Churchappreciation,encouragementneedsandandtheisagoodplace for us to practice love. Building up a Christlike and loving community is a key step to support evangelism.Peoplein the world long to belong to this kind of community, and Christians who feel positive about their church are naturally inclined to invite people to ‘come and see’ for themselves. No idea how to start a conversation about faith or what to say John 4:7-26, 26 -42, “The Woman by the Well.” Jesus often spoke to strangers. He started a conversation with a stranger by asking for something, a drink of water.Hedid not tell her that she needed to confess her sins and repent. Instead, Jesus asked her for something he did not have. If in trying to share our faith we try to sell something, or if our talk makes people feel bad about themselves, our dialogue will go nowhere. Asking for help is a way to empower others to trust us. It is often a good way to start a changeddifferentbeenstigmatizedMessiahwillwesharedcreatewithcommoninterestconversationwethirstwhichgettingwaslivinginvitedspeakingwasWhenconversation.thewomancuriousaboutaJewtoher,Jesushertoaskhimforwater.Thistimeshereallyinterestedinthelivingwater,wouldquenchherforever.Fromverses9-15,noticehowJesus’wascreatingandfindingground.Likewise,inourtalksothersweshouldcuriosityandfindground.Ultimately,hopeourconversationleadtoJesus,the(John4:26).TheSamaritanwoman,byhavingwithsomanyhusbands,wasfrombeing isolated and ashamed to courageously telling others about Jesus and about her past (John 4:39). It was meeting Jesus that brought about this dramatic change. The rest of the encounter was the work of the Holy Spirit. Hence, our preaching on this passage should remind our people that conversations should always ultimately point people to Jesus. When others meet Jesus, the Holy Spirit leads them into relationship with God.
Don’t know enough about the Bible to tell others about Jesus
John 15:1-17, “I am the Vine, you are the branches,” is a great place to start to counteract a lack of passion for the faith. It’s pointless to preach on evangelism if our community lacks a deep connection with Jesus and one another. If a newcomer walks into a church and finds it to be cold and unfriendly, it is very unlikely this person will return. Hence, we must first work on building a loving community before asking our members to reach out. Jesus asked us to abide in him as he abides in us (John 15:4). If we depart from him, we can do nothing (John 15:5).
The irony here is that no one in the Bible knows the whole of Scripture. What made people become evangelists was not how much they knew, but rather how much they trusted the Holy Spirit. Hence, a third key text for preaching on evangelism is Acts 8:2640, “Philip and the Ethiopian Official.” Philip already had a successful ministry in Samaria (Acts 8:5 -8) where crowds listened to his preaching, he cast out many evil spirits, and healed the Nevertheless,sick. the angel of the Lord sent him to minister to one man, an Ethiopian eunuch, on a road in the wilderness. A lot of the time we do not understand God’s will and direction to us as Christians. The key, however, is to trust in and submit to the Lord. We are God’s servants and we are Jesus’ witnesses. We should be ready to follow his lead, even if it is to talk to one person in the wilderness. When the Spirit calls, we should be ready to follow, even when we are in the prime of our ministry.Philiprealized that he was part of Jesus’ sent community. Ministry is not about our success, but it is about the Missio Dei, the mission of God. When the Spirit sent Philip to the wilderness, he went. When the Spirit urged him to go over to the Ethiopian’s chariot, he did. He was no doubt surprised that an Ethiopian official was reading a passage about the suffering Messiah from the book of Isaiah ( Isaiah 53). We have no idea why this Ethiopian was reading the book of Isaiah or why he became interested in the Saviour. We only know that the Holy Spirit worked beyond anything we could have imagined. This remains true today. James Hunter would describe Philip’s action as “Faithful Presence.” It means that our presence with others represents God’s presence among us. We only need to be faithful to the TheSpirit.HolySpirit will show us what to do and what to say. As God is faithful to us, we are to be faithful to others too. Evangelism is not simply telling others to believe in Jesus; it is about God’s Spirit working in us. Take heart, preachers! God has given us the privilege of growing the people of God in the faith so they can faithfully share what they know with people around them. May your preaching of these three texts, and others, encourage the faithful witness in our churches and across our land.

By Deacon Arleen Champion MOOSE JAW (Qu’A) — “Glory to God, whose power working in us, can do infinitely more than we can ask or imagine.” This sums up the feelings of St. Aidan parishioners following their participation in the Anglican Foundation of Canada’s “Say Yes! to Kids” national fundraising campaign to support child and youth ministry. An all-ages, all-day board game-a-thon was planned for June 11 as the parish fundraising event. The event was bookended by Celtic prayer, to begin and end, and during the six-and-ahalf hours between, there was always at least one board game being played, and usually many more. The game-a-thon drew not only parishioners, but also board game enthusiasts from the community.Lunchand snacks were served throughout the day, offering opportunity to those who preferred not to play a game to still take part in the fun and support thisEvencampaign.whenthe allotted game time was up, the games continued as the children, youth and their parents gave thanks and celebrated with a pizza supper while still playing their games. Fun was had by Atall.one point in the day, there were three generations from one family playing in one of theFourteengroups! years ago, as the parish was seeking to develop a more intentional children and youth ministry focus, a generous donation of $200,000 was made by a parishioner to assist in funding it.

By Ivan Millard REGINA — “Laughter, memories and tears,” were among the opening words spoken by Rev. Nancy Yee at the celebration and farewell service for the departure of St. Philip from the Living Spirit Centre (LSC), held June 18. Since 2003, St. Philip had been a partner with Bread of Life Lutheran and Eastside United in a shared ministry: one location, with three parishes from three denominations. A letter from Bonnie Yake, previous chair of the LSC Council, describes “…a deep swelling of gratitude and grief for the ending of this relationship at the LSC.” St. Philip has now joined with four other parishes to become one Anglican congregation — the Parish of Immanuel. Yee arranged the hymns, prayers and Bible references from Romans, Psalms, Genesis, Luke, Matthew, and Isaiah, all related to change and accepting new situations. “We thank God for God’s eternally relevant words,” sheIndividualsaid. prayers of thanks were offered for the space at LSC; for the pews where congregations gathered for Sunday services, funerals, weddings, and celebrations; for worshippers; for the craft table and children; and for the caring and fellowship of the former St. Philip congregation.Bette-LouParagg, representing the Parish of Immanuel, welcomed St. Philip to their new home. Bishop Helen Kennedy commented, in part, that the church is not a building, “It is you who are called by God.” In her benediction she advised, “Though we let go of our cherished place, though we sing new songs, though we serve in different ways, and though we find new friends, God’s justice will inspire us.” In her closing words, Archdeacon Cheryl Toth reminded the congregation of how “your outreach ventures” and “courage to journey” are gifts you can bring to support the new parish.Diane Gingras, a former St. Philip warden, said, “St. Philip members are faithful servants and friends, always listening to and answering God’s call.” This long-time culture is one that members are taking to the new Parish of Immanuel.A“History of St. Philip” handout, prepared by Ivan Millar, said, “What I have written is the acts of the people. Change is constant and so is the faith.” The day ended with a BBQ and chats around pictures and news of past events.
On May 6 at St. John’s Anglican Cathedral in Saskatoon, The University of Emmanuel CollegeCollege of Emmanuel & St. Chad, The Lutheran Theological Seminary and St. Andrew’s College of the United Church, celebrated the 21st joint ecumenical convocation of the Saskatoon Theological Union. While there were no graduates, the STU hosted and honoured its partner colleges as they awarded degrees. The STU was thankful to be back in person to celebrate these worthy accomplishments.

REGINA — The hall at Immanuel Church was nearly full with parishioners who gathered in late June to thank the members of their clergy team, three of whom were moving onto other positions in the diocese. When Immanuel was created by uniting five Regina parishes in 2021, Bishop Rob Hardwick said the six-member clergy team would remain until June 2022, to give stability to the new parish. Rev. Nancy Yee resigned in June 2021 and Pastor Zsofi Schmiedge moved to Winnipeg in April 2022. Rev. Michael Bruce, Rev. Alexander Campbell, Rev. Winna Martin and Canon Deacon Susan Page remained, sharing areas and taking turns officiating and preaching. As previously noted, Bruce will be developing a new diocesan youth and family ministry and providing services for Plain and Valley Parish; Campbell is working in urban indigenous ministry in Regina; and Martin is leading ministry to a network of residential care homes and assisted living centres in Regina, and is part of the hospital chaplaincy network. Page is remaining as deacon at Immanuel.

Immanuel Parish holds appreciation night to thank clergy
The evening featured cold drinks and light treats, and provided a chance for people — many had not seen each other for a long time — to visit. Past warden Richard Simpson was MC. Member Christine Burton offered an opening prayer. One guest at the party was Bishop Helen Kennedy, who spoke briefly. Archdeacon Cheryl Toth, who had been deeply involved in the process of creating the new parish, also spoke to the audience. Current and past wardens presented to each of the four clergy. In his comments, Bruce said, “the destination is not as important as how we go and whom we go with. We have been journeying together as we come to points of transition, and we remember, God is with us.”After a brief “open mic” session the Immanuel choir sang and parishioner Bette-Lou Paragg gave a closing prayer.
Nearly every seat was filled when members of Immanuel Parish gathered to thank their clergy team and say farewell to three priests on June 27.
The Immanuel clergy team was honoured at an evening of appreciation before the three priests moved to new responsibilities. (lr) Rev. Michael Bruce is now working in Youth and Family ministry for the diocese; Canon Susan Page remains at Immanuel as deacon; Rev.

By Rev. Gene Packwood “Walk by the Spirit,” writes St. Paul in Galatians, “and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh” (Gal. 5:16).In other words, give some legs to your life in the Spirit. Make some moves. Perambulate. Put one foot in front of the other. Take steps. Otherwise, it seems, we risk having the desires of the flesh rise up and become a problem: For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do (Gal. 5:17) So it is not always a good thing to do certain things we might want to do. Eve saw that the forbidden tree was good for food, a delight to the eyes and was to be desired to make one wise (Gen. 3:6). All perfectly reasonable in the flesh — worldly wise. Adam thought so, too.

the one they like best. That’s not the way it works!Ifthis were a multiple choice question the answer would be (e) “all of the above.” We are asked to be stewards of our time, talent, treasure and testimony. While we might be tempted to say, “I give of my time to the church so it doesn’t matter if I give any of my treasure” we know that really isn’t theThecase.church cannot fulfill its mission if its members do not give financially to support its ministries, any more than it can be the body of Christ if people give money but do not offer their testimony of faith. We need to share our time, our talent, our treasure and our testimony over the course of our lifetime. Yet we also realize that at different points in our life we give more of one than another. When I was in my 20s, paying down student loans and working for minimum wage, I gave relatively little money in myWhileoffering.what I gave was proportional to my income, the actual dollar amount was low. I did, however, give a fair amount of time to my local parish by teaching Sunday school, serving on the vestry and sharing my faith story in a local evangelism effort.Ihad more time than money and I gave proportionally of both. In my 30s, with three young children and working parttime for the church, I continued to give money proportionally but concentrated on developing my talents and giving them and my time to committees and projects in my community, the diocese and the national church. In my 40s, with older children and working full-time in a parish, my ability to give more financially was a blessing.ButIalso realized that I had less time to give beyond my parish responsibilities and what time I did have went to my kids’ activities. Each decade saw shifts in stewardship emphasis but engagementproportionalinall areas. And so it goes. Life has its own rhythm and at each stage of our life we have the opportunity to reconsider how we use the time we have, the talents we have developed, the financial resources we have accumulated, and the faith have been given, to the mission and ministry of the church. As I begin the “retired” stage of my life it is a question I am asking myself again. I invite you to ask yourself where you are in your life and how you might above”stewardproportionally“allofthethisyear.

All Saints, Saskatoon celebrates 65 years this month
“Emmanuel and St Chad — A History of Training Anglican Clergy Saskatchewan”in By the Right Rev. Rodney Andrews, D.D. “Emmanuel and St Chad — A History of Training Anglican Clergy in Saskatchewan” is more than 135 years of history. It is the story of how two visions for the Anglican Church, each embodied in a theological college, became one college. Itisthe story of how the independent colleges and the combined college fulfilled, and continue to fulfill, the need for clergy to serve the Anglican Church in Saskatchewan. It is the story of early beginnings and roots of the College of Emmanuel and St. Chad. The authors, Eric Bays and Trevor Powell, follow wise advice for writers of “write what you know.” Bays is the son of an Emmanuel graduate and is a graduate of the college. He is a former professor at the college and a retired bishop of Qu’Appelle. Powell is archivist and registrar for the Diocese of Qu’Appelle, and archivist of the ProvinceEcclesiasticalofRupert’s Land. I, myself, was a student at Emmanuel College and the University of Saskatchewan from 195965. This gave me a frontrow seat during the years when Emmanuel and St. Chad joined to form an amalgamated college. The timing placed me in the first graduating class of the operatedwasSocietyContinentaltoSaskatoon,“lowincollege.
