When All Saints Church on Saint John’s east side was deconsecrated in 2020, it was already earmarked for a new life.

Last fall the Diocese turned the building over to Outflow Ministry, which has transformed it into a place where carpentry skills are learned, and houses — and maybe even dreams — are built.

The Rev. Canon Albert Snelgrove has been appointed honorary assistant in the Parish of Fredericton (Christ Church Parish Church).

reconnect & reframe is a learning and exploring partnership between the dioceses of Fredericton and Nova Scotia & Prince Edward Island. Sessions are Thursday evenings on ZOOM. Each includes a dynamic presentation on a particular theme, several local examples, followed by small group discussion.

The first module, beginning January 26, is a four-part series on Collaborative Ministry Leadership. Learn how to build effective teams of laity and clergy, lead through liminal times, avoid burnout, and creatively adapt. Includes practical case studies.
