A lot of work more recently has been done with migrant churches as well. 02:27:26 Amy: There are still dialogues with the Roman Catholic church, Anglicans, etc. As well, we have the mutual ministry relationship with the United Church of Christ. 02:29:08 Amy: https://www.united-church.ca/news/celebrating-full-communion-disciples-christ 02:29:40 P2P Heather S: pls repeat Reb Heschel's response? 02:30:09 P2P Heather S: ty 02:32:06 elizabeth bowyer: the quote from Margaret Atwood again please? 02:32:59 Caryn Douglas: I would love to have more pictures of the greenhouse; there are so few pictures of life at CCS from the 1980s and 90ss, send them to me, not only of the greenhouse, everything 02:33:06 Denise Davis Taylor: Attwood THe facts of the world are seen clearly through tears.

It’s a long road to unlearning colonialism, supersessionism, and empire that has been so soaked into our UCC protestant traditions. 03:10:59 Linda M Ervin: Women's Interchurch Council based in Toronto, many ecumenical programs and resources 03:11:26 alice: what a good summary of ecumenical work, including a multitude of opportunities for engagement. Thanks Gail 03:12:15 Ted Dodd (he, him, his): Sad that DIAKONIA World Federation and DOTAC were omitted. 03:13:35 Laura Hunter: Helen and Marcie - ditto! I have had two rounds of study with Robin DiAngelo's book "White Fragility" and I find it useful in learning to have better stamina for those moments when I'm called out on whatever "dominant" position I/we are holding to so tightly. Staying open - staying curious 03:14:54 Amy: I hope some in this diaconal network will create and tell their stories for the contextual theology quilt! 03:14:58 P2P Heather S: Need to read that...and perhaps send a copy to our MB premiers office. 03:18:43 Joan Tuchlinsky, she/her: Thank you Gail. 03:18:55 Joan Jarvis: Thanks Gail! 03:18:58 Brenda Curtis: Thank you Gail... 03:19:15 P2P Heather S: Thank you - lots of info and hope! 03:19:15 Carolynne Bouey Shank: thank you Gail. 03:19:18 Karen Tjaden: Thank you for sharing your work, appreciate all the resources to explore further! 03:19:23 Melanie Ihmels (she, her): thanks gail!

Your overview of resources for ways of engaging with our neighbours is inspirational! 03:23:48 Diane Trollope: They are now working on stories shorter for M & S 03:23:52 Helen Reed: It seems to me that with so many opportunities for conversations that we need to be take on a voice for something that speaks to our passions. There are so many places and people that need to be supported and have awareness raised . 03:26:12 Diane Trollope: The shorter M & S pieces will reflect COVID-19 stories and our Partners in other countries. 03:28:09 Christina Paradela: Canadians for Justice and Peace int he Middle East is a good organization too 03:29:45 Marcie Gibson: in ‘our culture’? who’s culture? 03:34:58 John Robertson: Thiis segment reminds of the Liturgical Dance that that the late Barbara Cook used to perform in Winnipeg.
