SFU Thesis Template Files Canadian Urban Ministry: The Nature and Challenges of Success Barry Kent Morris (BA, BD, ThM) Supervised by: Dr Robert Pope, Director of Studies Dr Sarah Lewis, Second Supervisor This research was undertaken under the auspices of the University of Wales Trinity Saint David Submitted in partial fulfilment for the award of a Degree of Master of Philosophy University of Wales 2016 and resubmitted July 28, 2017 iii Abstract This thesis characterises the nature and the possibilities of success including its tensions and obstacles in urban ministry. There are featured descriptions on the nature and dynamics of urban ministry and various understandings of success are posed –especially that which favours a purposeful aim toward fulfilment of a ministry’s mission purposes, with attention to a faithful public-and-prophetic witness (as the ground and aim for ministry). A literature survey to help discern and frame the research questions focuses on England and North America, especially Canada. The chapters consider the research questions of what characterises success and its challenges in urban ministry and how do urban ministry situations engage the enduring tensions of charity and/or justice. The chapters include three detailed case studies in three different Canadian cities. They are narrated and analysed from the perspective of what makes for a meaningful, enduring civic presence and what caveats to be critically aware of – the UK and USA social theologian, Luke Bretherton, with additions, is constructively employed (as well as for framing the literature review). The concluding chapter provides a comparative summary analysis of the case studies. It proposes that the most comprehensive and integral way to depict the nature of success in urban ministry is by way of engaging the interweaving variables of earnest listening, stable places or presence, a capacity to endure, and dedication to what it takes to bear a public-and-prophetic witness – including constructive attention to the critical caveats of commodification, co-optation, communalism, clientelism, and cowardice. Two appendices on extending the range and challenges of a literature survey and how grounded theory assists, narratively, to discern a central story-line of the case studies, supplement the above. iv Dedication To those urban ministers, lay leaders, retirees, and virtually unsung volunteers of the case studies (and beyond) whose labours of deep dedication and relentless courage make it possible to be discerned and noted with steadfastness – as well as to those who devote the time and harness with discipline the energy it takes to write and in sharing, bear a faithful public, and thankfully, prophetic witness – that through our plain failures and myriad dead-end paths, a modicum of a purposeful legacy is passed on. You insert content into the greetings and blessings of “shalom.” Obrigado/Obrigada v Acknowledgements I thank particularly the supervision assistance and therein, the due diligence of Dr. Robert Pope of the University of Wales Trinity Saint David. His timely reading and apt comments along the way made this MPhil task a steady avocation. I am grateful to Vancouver School of Theology Professor of Social Ethics Emeritus Terence R. Anderson for long encouragement to reflect and write on urban ministry and theology. I also thank Joanie Wolfe for timely and gracious assistance on formatting and otherwise, via correction assistance, preparing the thesis for its submission. Appreciation must be extended to all of those contributing to the three case studies, some from long ago, and many of them duly cited as primary sources in the pertinent case study chapter (and prior to the bibliography). For encouragement to carry on with a previously submitted PhD thesis – which in part thankfully got parlayed into a book with chiefly different material – to revise and resubmit as this MPhil thesis, I thank several persons, too many to specifically name. For valued moral support, however, I appreciate Michele Lamont, Pam Cooley, Lori Gabrielson, Kate Andrews, Ryan Leamont, Michael Glanville, David Tracey, Janette McIntosh, Longhouse Ministry on-site new monastic Daniel Wieb, and for when it sometimes felt futile, a cadre of occasional independent creative writers via Tatamagouche Centre, Nova Scotia who provided encouraging comments on some earlier biography-as-theology forays on urban ministry and into urban theology, vi Table of Contents Declaration and Statements .............................................................................................. ii Abstract ........................................................................................................................... iii Dedication ....................................................................................................................... iv Acknowledgements .......................................................................................................... v Table of Contents ............................................................................................................ vi List of Abbreviations..................................................................................................... viii Table of Illustrations ....................................................................................................... ix Part I.

His paper is, as he makes clear in his title, a personal insight to her character. We are also pleased to include the thoughts of Revd Graham Akers on the concept of the covenant in Congregational churches. Given his role as chair of the Congregational Federation’s pastoral care board, he is clearly interested in the application of Congregational principles in the churches. In addition we include a review article from Robert Pope who has written on The Transformation of Congregationalism 1900–2000, a new publication from the Congregational Federation.

  • Maritime Conference the United Church of Canada the 89 Annual
    Maritime Conference The United Church of Canada The 89th Annual Meeting Sackville, New Brunswick May 22 - 25, 2014 SECTION 1 REPORTS TO CONFERENCE President’s Message This past year has gone by faster than I’d ever anticipated. I have already visited three Presbyteries, and been guest-preacher at two pastoral charges; I am scheduled to visit three more presbyteries, and Bermuda Synod, over the next two months. I have had the privilege of representing Maritime Conference on a number of pastoral occasions. And each visit I have done, has impressed me with the dedication of the church folk who are there. There is confusion and sadness, certainly, as many see attendance falling away from regular Sunday worship services, and as our congregations age. But there is also a sense of excitement, as pastoral charges and congregations start to explore new ways of being church in their communities and in their world. Home church, mission church, coffee bar church, shared ministry, cyber congregations —all are part of the options opening up to those who are passionate about being the hands and feet of Christ. As I sit at my desk this (very!) cold February afternoon, I am reminded of the words of the hymn that tells us, “In the cold and snow of winter, there’s a spring that waits to be, unrevealed until its season, something God alone can see!” Our church is in that waiting stage. We are waiting to see what sort of spring is coming for our church, our mission, our identities as people of faith and a community of Christ.

Spread The News September 2018 - P2 Congregation at Trinity-St. Stephen’s welcomes new minister The congregation at Trinity-St. Stephen’s, Amherst, NS, welcomed their new minister the Rev. Natasha Pearen in July. She moved to Amherst in early July with her family from Minnedosa, Manitoba, where she had been ministering to the congregation of the Minnedosa United Church there for eight years. Rev. Natasha was born and raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba. She decided to pursue ministry at a young age and moved to Dartmouth to study at the Atlantic School of Theology in 2003. She was ordained in 2007 and settled in Alberta (Tofield and Holden United Churches). She moved to Minnedosa, MB in 2010. In 2005, she married Eric McLaughlin. They have two children, Marie-Katherine, (May 2009) and Isabelle, (July 2012). The family really enjoys living in smaller communities and the relationships people develop. Everyone in the family is looking forward to living close to the ocean, eating lots of seafood and being closer to Eric's family in New Brunswick. Some of Natasha's hobbies are crocheting, crafting, photography, reading and camping. Rev. Natasha is a trained mediator and is passionate about social justice including reconciliation work.

Historians, like politicians, should value debate. In looking back they are bound to move on. Revisionism is built into their system. Historians should, nonetheless, shudder at such a title as "Why did the United Reformed Church Fail?" but the editor let it pass b~cause Martin Camroux expresses what some readers might feel, he draws attention to an elephant in the URC room, and future readers will see that his article is valuable historiography. David Peel's review of Alan Sell's Nonconformist Theology in the Twentieth Century and Professor Sell's response tend to underline concerns surfacing in Mr Camroux's article.

Such questions are probably no longer set. On the whole the Journal has avoided anniversaries -up to a point. This issue is a case in point. The quincentenary of Calvin's birth in 2009 is appropriately recognised in a review, and there will be more in future issues because anniversaries breed publications. The bicentenary of Whitefield's death in 1970 is recognised forty years later by publishing Geoffrey Nuttall's commemorative address, forwarded to the Journal by Roger Tomes, one of this issue's reviewers. In 1970 Dr. Tomes was one ofWhitefield Memorial Church's two ministers. He recalls that the address was delivered in the course of a Sunday evening service.

As you prepare for your last meeting of the triennium, we would like to express our gratitude and thanksgiving for your work over the past three years. The United Church of Canada is truly blessed to have such faithful and committed governors in this time of change as we open ourselves in hope and prayer to God’s new creation. By the time you meet in mid-March, the Comprehensive Review Task Group will have shared its final report and recommendations with the church. We strongly encourage you to read these materials closely before your meeting so you can engage in lively and deep conversations in your table groups. We hope these discussions will help equip you to take leadership roles this spring and summer in your Conferences as they consider these materials and bring forward proposals to the 42nd General Council in August. Also at this meeting, you will work with other important reports and proposals that you will find in this workbook. We thank members whose terms on the Executive will come to an end at this meeting. Thank you for your wisdom and commitment, and for sharing your gifts with the church in this ministry of governance. God’s mission needs strong leaders, and we pray that you will feel called to use your many gifts in new ways in your communities of faith and beyond.

    St Paul’s United Church 10206 – 100 Avenue, Grande Prairie, AB T8V 0V6 In February and into March we had a number of people that took time to reflect on and share why they go to church. Some shared why this church family is important to them, some why this denomination feels right for them and some just why they need a church family wherever they may be. One Sunday, we switched it up and sang favorite songs that reminded us of someone – and shared a little bit about that special someone). All of these stories reinforced that we are not alone, and relationships matter. (See some of the stories on pp 6,7,8) At the Annual meeting and over the next few weeks we are asking each person who attends St Paul’s to reflect on their passions and say where they want to spend their time and effort to help us make a difference in the lives of the people around us. I hope you find a place to feel needed and loved in this church family and build some new relationships and passions that feed your soul. Let’s all be courageous! PLEASE take a set of coloured stickers and write on your name and phone number. Then paste it where your passions lie to show where you are currently / continuing to serve or where you wish to try something new in the mission and ministry of St. Paul’s for the immediate future. Communications - Stewardship – Pastoral Care – Christian Development – Council – Ministry Teams. Feed your passion and your soul.
