A GOOD WAR: MOBILIZING CANADA FOR THE CLIMATE EMER A GOOD WAR: MOBILIZING CANADA FOR THE CLIMATE EMERGENCY with Seth Klein It’s 2021, and Canada is not on track to meet our climate targets. To do so, we’ll need radical systemic change to how we live and work―and fast. How can we ever achieve this? Top policy analyst and author Seth Klein reveals we can do it now because we’ve done it before. During the Second World War, Canadian citizens and government remade the economy by retooling factories, transforming their workforce, and making the war effort a common cause for all Canadians to contribute to. Join author and policy analysist Seth Klein for worship and a thought-provoking zoom chat on why we CAN address this climate emergency. visit sethklein.ca for more about the author and our guest this coming Sunday’s Earth Day Service premiering at 10am on our YouTube Channel + discussion on Zoom Coffee time after service. #climatechange #climatesctioncanada #climatesctionbc #sethklein #agoodwar #climatejustice
OK, so it’s Monday. Still, I hope your week is OK, so it’s Monday. Still, I hope your week is refreshing and splashed with beauty.

“Are you born again?” Have you ever been aske “Are you born again?” Have you ever been asked that question? I wonder how you responded. If you are an open-minded, open-hearted Christian, maybe even what might be called a “Progressive Christian”, does “born again” have any meaning at all? This Wednesday, Tim Scorer begins Part II of “The Heart of Christianity” (based on the book by Marcus Borg) with this question, which I’ll step into on Sunday and Rev. Curt Allison (@bccurt) beautifully and briefly explains how his understanding of being “born again” meant one thing when he was 20 and a fundamentalist Christian, and what it means now (no longer 20, and no longer fundamentalist). Will George sings with the House Band, Rhian (@rhianwalker) holds the liturgy and Jen (@jen_cunnings) offers the Children’s Time (but who are we kidding? For several that’s the best part of worship and the part that’s easiest to remember even if we were children long ago). Normally, in the Before Times, this would be the Sunday when we express gratitude and offer blessing to Rev. Lorraine Ashdown (@lorraine_l_ashdown), who concludes her ministry with St. Andrew’s Wesley (and will continue to serve the Bowen Island United Church). It will feel strange having no mention of Lorraine’s ministry in this Sunday’s worship, but the service was previously recorded. However, the opportunity to express gratitude and blessing to Lorraine will happen on Thursday, April 15th, at the All-Ages worship service (7:00- 8:00 PM), facilitated by Jen. All are welcome. We are grateful to Lorraine for sharing her passion for ministry, her humour and her genuine care with us all. She will be missed, and we wish her every good blessing in her continued service. And whether or not you would identity as “born again”, may you be inwardly renewed, day by day. Shalom, Dan Link to our YouTube service in our Bio 👆🏼

Maybe you remember a young member of our church fa Maybe you remember a young member of our church family, Will Rehmus’ comments about Lent last year, when the Pandemic had arrived in full force: “This is the lentiest lent we’ve ever lented.” I wonder what he would say about this year? As we mark the Crucifixion today, on “Good” Friday, in the midst of COVID numbers inexorably rising, with virus variants posing new threats; with further and extensive restrictions now in place until at least April 15th, we find ourselves so much more aware of the meaning and power of crucifixion… and that’s without spinning the globe and remembering the military coup in Myanmar, the eleven years of civil war in Syria, famine in the Horn of Africa, refugees streaming out of dozens of countries…. And yet this Sunday we celebrate Easter. Which at times feels crazy. Yes, we find solace in the season of spring, with buds and blossoms reminding us that life goes on – daffodils on the cross. But the resurrection invites us into a deeper hope, one that is rooted in God, in whom and through whom all things are transformed, not by denying the reality of the cross, but by incorporating this suffering into ongoing and new life. As the poet James Broughton declares in “Easter Exultet,” where he names God as “Big Joy.” At every crossroad be prepared to bump into wonder. Only love prevails. En route to disaster insist on [singing] canticles. Lift your ineffable out of the mundane. Nothing perishes; nothing survives; everything transforms! Honeymoon with Big Joy! We are invited to trust in the ultimate goodness of creation, in the perseverance of love, in the promise of justice and peace – the final “YES” that transcends every “NO” we might be experiencing in the present. It is a crazy hope if we are only relying on ourselves; but the presence of the resurrected Christ-Spirit, within us and all around us, enables us to root into this hope, and make it real – for ourselves, for our neighbours,for all our relations.
