From Canada-
Each year, for the past five years, some 300 people have assembled at St. Peter’s Anglican Church, Cobourg, on the first Saturday of March.
They come from the Trent Durham area of the Anglican Diocese of Toronto, which extends from Pickering to Brighton and north to Haliburton. For a large part of the day, they attend a choice of 30 workshops on a wide variety of topics, ranging from such broadly based subjects as the future of the Anglican Church to highly personal ones about various ways of living an individual Christian life.
Two sessions of particular interest this year were presented by the Bishop of Trent Durham, the Rt. Rev. Linda Nicholls. In one, she spoke about the basis of Christian faith and its application in daily life in today’s world. In the other, about where the church is situated at this very challenging time in its history, and what to do about it.
“Christianity is not just something that has to be believed, but an act of faith that has to be experienced,” Nicholls said.
“Everyone simply has to come face-to-face with God and decide the way of Christ is the way of life…. We must have intimacy with Jesus before we have a story to tell,” she said.
