Last night it was across the
lake to Atkins beaches. Again turtles on the beach but none laying.
It was cool on the back last night.
Today's reflection came as I
started reading Don Schwietzer's collection of essays AHistory The
United Church of Canada. As one
who researches and writes in the field of Canadianization of churches
I am been looking for the the themes which dominated Canadian church
life prior to union - the settlement of the Canadian West, a unique
responsibility to foreign nations, and the protestantization of
Québec.
As
a church we came into being because we felt that we had a Macedonian
call from Western Canada, countries such as China and Japan, and from
the citizens of Québec. The reality of the world and the passing of
time is that those reason for being are now completed or passé or
both. Crucial for us today is the question upon which I am reflecting
this week. Who are the Macedonians today for us?
