Though we are a small creation slight jewel in your crown of lights-- You have made us too for learning Love's demand and Love's delights. 2. Ceaselessly, without conditions, you have put the lover's case, while we spend our time inventing limits to our love's embrace. From all fraudulent exclusions save us, teach us neighbour's rights: liturgies of human loving have been set to various rites. 3. Loving trust is strong and gentle, beautiful as ancient lace. In your Christ is beauty showing that Love has a human face. Christ among us weaves strong unions that outwear all doubts and slights. Bless us fragile partners learning Love's demands and Love's delights. Greeting and Collect for Purity All May the grace of Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with us all. 3 All loving God, to you all hearts are open, all desires known, and from you no secrets are hidden. Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love you, and worthily praise your holy name; through Christ our Saviour. Amen. Seasonal Canticle Ghanaian Trad. Absolution and Assurance of Pardon One For the absolution and remission of our sins and offenses, let us pray to God. A short silence is kept. One God in your mercy: All Hear our prayer. One We are a forgiven people: God’s spirit is free among us. All Thanks be to God. The Exchange of Peace One The Peace of Christ be always with you: All And also with you. The Announcements 4 The Prayer after Announcements Members of the community share news. Then the community prays: All Grant, O God, that in these activities and events we may do your will with strength, wisdom and compassion, for the good of your reign of justice and peace. Amen. The Proclamation of the Word The Collect of the Day All Crossbound God, nothing protects you from open sky and beckoning grave: teach us to leave behind the fear that kills what is different, our love for what is dead and safe; may we set our face like you to find our true home, our unexpected city of peace, your fearless life; through Jesus Christ, who will not turn back. Amen The First Reading Isaiah 56:1-8 Thus says the Yahweh: Maintain justice, and do what is right, for soon my salvation will come, and my deliverance be revealed. Happy is the mortal who does this, the one who holds it fast, who keeps the sabbath, not profaning it, and refrains from doing any evil. Do not let the foreigner joined to Yahweh say, ‘Yahweh will surely separate me from his people’; and do not let the eunuch say, ‘I am just a dry tree.’ 5 For thus says Yahweh: To the eunuchs who keep my sabbaths, who choose the things that please me and hold fast my covenant, I will give, in my house and within my walls, a monument and a name better than sons and daughters; I will give them an everlasting name that shall not be cut off. And the foreigners who join themselves to Yahweh, to minister to Yahweh, to love the name of the Lord, and to be Yahweh's servants, all who keep the sabbath, and do not profane it, and hold fast my covenant— these I will bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer; their burnt-offerings and their sacrifices will be accepted on my altar; for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples. Thus says the Lord God, who gathers the outcasts of Israel, I will gather others to them besides those already gathered. Reader Hear what the Spirit says to God's people. All Thanks be to God. The Response VU #701 What Does the Lord Require of You? Everyone sing stanzas 1,2,3 in unison. Then sing through the hymn two more times, all three parts simultaneously: Stanza 1 -- South side of congregation Stanza 2 -- West side of congregation Stanza 3 -- North side of congregation The Second Reading A reading of a poem written in response to the murders in Orlando on June 12, 2016 Sherman Hesselgrave One Pulse They say that rhythmic activity Like drumming or dancing Or singing a hymn Organizes our brains Herds our alpha waves Into some kind of unison. 6 It's as if we share one pulse. There is no hatred or fear so great That can destroy the love that loves And loves and loves and loves. No bullet can stop the pulse That beats in our hearts On behalf of those cut short. But we will mourn and lament And sit shiva And reflect on what might have been If we could live this day over again. Reader Hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches. All Thanks be to God. Gradual Hymn VU#606 – In Christ There Is No East or West The Holy Gospel Luke 9:51 – 62 Reader May God be with you. All And also with you. Reader The Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Luke. All Glory to Christ our Saviour. As the time drew near for Jesus to be taken up, he resolutely set out for Jerusalem. He sent messengers on ahead, and they went into a Samaritan village to make preparations for him. But the people there did not welcome Jesus because he was heading for Jerusalem. Seeing this, the disciples James and John asked, "Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven to destroy them?" But Jesus turned and rebuked them. And they went on to another village. As they went along the way, someone said to Jesus, "I will follow you wherever you go." Jesus replied, "Foxes have dens, and birds of the air have nests, but the Chosen One has no place to lay his head." When Jesus said, "Follow me," someone else replied, "Let me first go and bury my father." But Jesus answered, "Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and announce the Kingdom of God." 7 Yet another said, "I will follow you, Lord; but first let me go back and say goodbye to my family." Jesus replied, "No one who puts a hand to the plow--but then looks back at what is behind--is fit for the Kingdom of God." Reader The Gospel of Christ. All Praise to Christ our Saviour Homily The Liturgy of the Bread and Cup Financial offerings may be placed in the basket on the pedestal in the middle of the congregation. Community members then bring the gifts of bread and wine to the altar and form a circle around the altar. Please carry your personal belongings with you. The Offertory Hymn Let streams of living justice flow Words: William Whitla, 1989 Tune: THAXTED 1.

  • This Paper Seeks to Expand the Scope of These Two Seemingly Separate
    Provincial-International Relations: Exploring the International Involvement of the Ontario Legislature Natalie Tutunzis, Ontario Legislature Internship Programme This paper seeks to explore the international involvement, or the international relations, of the Ontario Legislature. It will be shown that local parliamentarians, as exemplified by the involvement of the Ontario Legislature, have important roles to play internationally. Not only do provincial-international relations exist at the legislative level, but they occur quite frequently and in a diverse manner of ways. The paper will outline and describe such relations as they occur between the Ontario Legislature and foreign legislatures or other bodies, as exemplified through the Legislature’s involvement in interparliamentary organizations and delegations, as well as through the pursuit of international initiatives advanced by members, Officers, and affiliates of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario. In addition to describing the actions that have and are currently taking place, the paper will begin a discussion about the general purposes of such international relations at the provincial parliamentary level, as well as discuss their perceived effectiveness. It will be argued that these relations have distinct purposes, which have, in many cases, achieved positive results. While literature on provincial-international legislative relations does exist, it is still remains quite sparse. However, the limited background that does exists on the matter nonetheless points to how frequently such relations occur, their significance, and even more so, how worthy they are of further exploration. Overall, this paper attempts to expand on the existing literature by providing an up-to-date account of the international involvement of provincial parliaments, using the Ontario Legislature as its case study.

  • THE HOLODOMOR MEMORIAL DAY ACT PROCEEDS to SECOND READING All Parties Work Together to Pass Legislation That Commemorates Victims of the Man-Made Famine of Ukraine
    Legislative Assemblée Assembly législative of Ontario de l’Ontario NEWS RELEASE / COMMUNIQUÉ THE HOLODOMOR MEMORIAL DAY ACT PROCEEDS TO SECOND READING All Parties Work Together To Pass Legislation That Commemorates Victims Of The Man-Made Famine of Ukraine NEWS March 5, 2009 Queen’s Park – Private Member’s Bill 147, the Holodomor Memorial Day Act proceeded to second reading at Queen’s Park today. This is the first tri-sponsored Private Member’s Bill by Dave Levac, Liberal MPP for Brant, Cheri DiNovo, NDP MPP for Parkdale-High Park, and Frank Klees, PC MPP for Newmarket-Aurora. If passed, this legislation will provide for the declaration of Holodomor Memorial Day on the fourth Saturday in November in each year in the Province of Ontario. The Holodomor is the name given to the man-made famine that occurred in Ukraine from 1932 to 1933, in which as many as 10 million Ukrainians perished as victims under Joseph Stalin’s regime to consolidate control over Ukraine, with 25,000 dying each day at the peak of the famine in 1933. Ukraine has established the fourth Saturday in November in each year as the annual day to commemorate the victims of the Holodomor. If passed, this Bill will extend the annual commemoration of the victims of the Holodomor to Ontario. QUOTES “Today is an important day for Ukrainian-Canadians and especially, for family and friends who fell victim of the Holodomor,” said MPP Dave Levac. “The remembrance of these horrors from the past requires our attention.” “Finally Ukrainian Canadians will have the respect for all the victims of Stalin's genocide they've been praying for in this Province,” said Cheri DiNovo, MPP Parkdale-High Park.

He was referring to the Synod of Bishops held March 21-24. The sudden reversal revealed that the otherwise talented major archbishop has already begun the process of learning the ropes of politics and the media, as indi- cated by both clergy and laity. Major Archbishop Shevchuk was accompanied by several bishops on his five-day visit to Rome, including Archbishop-Metropolitan Stefan Soroka of the Philadelphia Archeparchy, Bishop Paul Patrick Chomnycky of the Stamford Eparchy, and Bishop Ken Nowakowski Zenon Zawada of the New Westminster Eparchy.

  • Monday, April 20, 2017 Kathleen Wynne, Premier Legislative
    Monday, April 20, 2017 Kathleen Wynne, Premier Legislative Building Queen's Park Toronto ON M7A 1A1 The Honourable Glen Murray Minister of the Environment and Climate Change 2nd Floor Macdonald Block, 900 Bay Street Toronto, Ontario M7A 1N3 Dear Premier Wynne and Minister Murray, We are asking that you require that the one-stop Scarborough Subway Extension (SSE) project be evaluated in comparison with the five-stop Scarborough RT and with the seven-stop LRT that was originally planned to replace the Scarborough RT. As you are aware, the Environmental Assessment for the SSE is scheduled to commence shortly. Ontario’s Transit Project Assessment Process provides for the Premier and the Minister to take action if there is “potential for a negative impact on a matter of provincial importance that relates to the natural environment.” Accordingly, we believe: ● the SSE has the potential to exacerbate, rather than reduce, Ontario’s greenhouse gas emissions ● that building the seven-stop LRT instead, would reduce Ontario’s greenhouse gas emissions arising from transportation. Ontario faces a stiff challenge in achieving its climate change targets. The 2016 Annual ​ GHG Progress Report of the Environmental Commissioner of Ontario warns that ​ Ontario’s Climate Change Action Plan is unlikely to achieve the province’s 2020 target for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. It cautions that “transportation is Ontario’s highest and fastest growing source of GHGs, “having increased over 27 per cent since 1990” and concludes that “reducing transportation emissions, must, therefore, be Ontario’s highest climate change priority.” There are numerous grounds for concern about the potential for negative environmental and social impact of the SSE: ● Design, construction and operation of the proposed 1-stop subway will not help reduce GHG emissions in a timely fashion.
