Body, Mind and Soul – As many
of you are aware, the PCC is once again studying the issue of human sexuality,
in response to several overtures to General Assembly requesting that all
persons of LGBTQ orientation be permitted to take roles at all levels of the
Church’s leadership, or to do as the Assembly deems best. Of course,
several other overtures were received requesting that the PCC stay the
course with its existing statements regarding human sexuality and the issue of
same-sex marriage. A study document, entitled Body, Mind and Soul, has
been produced by the joint team responsible for formulating a response to the
Assembly. If you wish to study it online, it can be found at
http://presbyterian.ca/sexuality/ - if you wish a paper copy, please talk to
Rev. Steve about ordering one. We will be taking at least one night to
discuss this document, but it will not be before February. Please pray
for our denomination as it seeks to find the way forward in this time.
There will be upcoming Bereavement Peer Support Training
presented by Acclaim Health in April and May of 2016. We plan on training
15-20 additional volunteers. We hope to have increased interest in this
volunteer training from North Halton, so we can continue to build our
Bereavement Support in this area of the Region.
If any parishioners would
be interested in this training or are a bereaved person who would benefit from
a 1:1 Bereavement Peer Support volunteer, please contact Mary Schnurr at
905-827-8800, or email mschnurr@acclaimhealth.ca
