It’s complicated. From the Archbishop's desk. Recording: Shattering the Holy Hush

It’s complicated

It’s complicated

Ministering to an island on the other side of the international border during the pandemic comes with challenges

Ministering in a multi-point parish, where one of those points requires two ferries or an international drive to reach, is one thing.

Doing it during a world-wide pandemic, in the winter, is quite another.

That is the life and work of the Rev. Kevin Borthwick these days. Kevin is the priest-in-charge in the Parish of Saint Stephen, which has two congregations, and St. Anne's in the Parish of Campobello, on the island in the Passamaquoddy Bay.

Gospel Based Discipleship - Wednesday, February 24, 2021

Welcome to Word on Wednesdays in Lent.

Join Lisa Vaughn (Nova Scotia & PEI) and Shawn Branch (Fredericton) as they lead in a 'gospel-based discipleship' conversation. 

Gospel-based discipleship is about learning how to put the Gospel at the centre of our lives. Each week, we will look at the gospel for the day and reflect on 3 questions.

    1. What word(s), idea(s), or phrase(s) stand out for you?
    2. What is Jesus (the Gospel) saying to you?
    3. What is Jesus (the Gospel) calling you to do?

This joint conversation is open to all - for those working, bring your lunch and join us.

Comic relief!

Three mothers are sitting on a New York City park bench talking about how much their sons love them.

Sadie says, "You know the Chagall painting hanging in my living room? My son, Arnold, bought that for me for my 75th birthday. What a good boy he is. How he loves his mother!"

Minnie says,"You call that love? You know the Eldorado Cadillac I got for Mother's Day? That's from my son, Bernie. What a doll."

Shirley says, "That's nothing. You know my son, Stanley? He sees a psychoanalyst on Park Ave. Five sessions a week. And what does he talk about? Me!"
