    Knob Hill United Church, 23 Gage Avenue, Scarborough, ON, M1J 1T3 Email: [email protected] or [email protected] www.khuc.org Minister: Rev. Hannah Lee, 416.431.5054 ____________________________________________________________________________________ Dear Friends, Welcome. You have probably read this word on our church bulletin, projected on our sanctuary wall, or on a church sign next to the road. What does it mean to be a welcoming community? There was a time when the church followed a process of welcome based on “Behaving, Believing, Belonging.” Christians were told you had to behave a certain way, believe a set of doctrines, and then they were allowed to belong to the church community. According to this model, belonging is dependent on behaving and believing in line with what is deemed acceptable by the community. Is this truly welcoming in God’s eyes? Or are we distorting our understanding of God and God’s grace? Jesus calls his disciples – and us today – to welcome all. We are all agents in giving and receiving welcome. The process of welcome we at KHUC are striving to do is “Belonging, Believing, Becoming.” God welcomes us and we in turn welcome one another, especially those who are marginalized, or considered the least and the lost. This model of welcome allows people to come as they are. It allows people to be honest and vulnerable. It leaves room for grace. It acknowledges that we are not perfect, but God is. It doesn’t matter who you are, what you’ve done, how you believe – it doesn’t even matter if you are Christian.

  • How a United Church Congregation Articulates Its Choices from the 41St General Council's
    “What Language Shall I Borrow?” How a United Church Congregation Articulates its Choices from the 41st General Council’s Recommendations Regarding Peacebuilding in Israel/Palestine by Donna Patricia Kerrigan A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Emmanuel College and the Toronto School of Theology In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Ministry awarded by Emmanuel College and the University of Toronto © Copyright by Donna Patricia Kerrigan 2016 “What Language Shall I Borrow?” How a United Church Congregation Articulates its Choices from the 41st General Council’s Recommendations Regarding Peacebuilding in Israel/Palestine Donna Patricia Kerrigan Doctor of Ministry Emmanuel College and the University of Toronto 2016 Abstract The thesis of this dissertation is that members of the United Church of Canada who respond to the Report on Israel/Palestine Policy select from its peacebuilding recommendations according to their attitudes to theological contextualizing. Two attitudes give rise to two different methods, which are seldom articulated but underlie choices regarding peace initiatives such as boycotting or ecumenical/multifaith cooperation. The dissertation includes five parts: an investigation of contextual theologies for peacebuilders; a history of the UCC and ecumenical partners who have struggled to assist peace in Israel/Palestine; strategies for peace-minded ministers; a case-study of one congregation choosing peace strategies; and recommendations for denominational communications and peacebuilding. This thesis poses a taxonomy for theologizing in context, moving from initial interaction with the other by translating local systems of thought into terms of the Gospel message. Contextualizers proceed either to immerse in the local culture (anthropological) or to engage with locals in mutual learning (synthesis).

  • 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.
