MOOSONEE4 A school that raises up local lay leaders Joelle Kidd staff writer On a Saturday night in October, inside Holy Trinity Anglican Church in Cochrane, Ont., a gospel jamboree was in full swing. “Almost everyone was playing a musical instrument or shaking something—we had percussion instruments, guitar, you name it,” says Archdeacon Deborah Lonergan-Freake, administrator for the diocese of Moosonee.“The singing—there was Cree, and Irish, Celtic stuff…It was beautiful.” The impromptu worship session came at the end of the third term of the Moosonee School of Ministry, a new initiative in the diocese of Moosonee that is putting many of its lay leaders on a path to further theo- logical study and ordination. (The diocese of Moosonee is a mission area of the eccle- siastical province of Ontario.) The idea for the school, which fin- ished its first year in January, came into 5Moosonee on her faith, she says. “I was invited into a being through conversation between Tom School of deeper relationship with God.
