June 24, 630pm gathering
When we were gathered last Monday evening (yep, MONDAY EVENING, 6:30 p.m., Frame Arts Warehouse, C Gallery – and if you are feeling overwhelmed with address information, just look for the sandwich board sign), Jason led us in an engaging group reflection and discussion. It turned out to be about lots of things, as these […]

Hello Tablers. I’ve had a very interesting and emotionally mixed week. Don’t we all, sometimes? This one has combined the joy of connecting with a variety of people from our community – people that have inspired me with their insight, their warm and caring hearts, their thoughtful approach to relationships and life in general – […]

This week the world lost a great man. His death won’t be a national news item; it might not even be a local news item. His name was Dr. Adebayo Olojuhngbe; Ade to most people that knew him. He is described by those who knew him best as a genius, advocate, awesome and magnanimous friend […]

We’re a fickle bunch, us Manitobans. Fair weather folks, it would seem, despite our stoic endurance of long and deep-freeze cold winters. I don’t know if you heard this particular news item today, but it seems that on this, the almost eve of the first long weekend of the camping season, campground reservations are down […]

Hello Tablers! Having spent some time last week exploring the connection between our longing for spring and our spiritual longings, it is somehow gratifying to see something like spring in the forecast. I remain hopeful, in a reserved sort of way… This week we will be part of what could be called a “spiritual conversation”, […]

We’ve all seen them around the city lately – signs like “Would whoever is praying for snow please stop”, “Lost spring – please find”, “Letters on the sign frozen – see you in spring”…and so on. It seems to be a fairly comment shared lament, this slow-coming thaw. The curious thing about shared laments is […]

Lately, I have been considering the place critical thinking should take in our Christian spirituality. If critical thinking alone directs our faith, we run the risk of becoming a hopeless critic. If our lives are void of it, we run the risk of becoming thoughtlessly zealous. In my own life, I feel like I have […]
