Indigenous Peoples and ChristianityWhen Ottawa announced a compensation package last week for victims of what has become known as the "Sixties Scoop," it was one more step in a long walk of trying to make reparations to Indigenous peoples for devastating sins committed against individuals, families, and entire communities. The sins were many, and caused great harm across generations of Indigenous peoples. Decades of systemic racism included the now well-known story of the church-run residential schools.

The feast day of Saint FrancisMany churches remember Francis of Assisi each year on October 4. The day is considered a "feast day" honouring the saint. Generally speaking, saints are simply people who have gone before us in the faith, people whom we honour and remember for their exemplary lives, or for their example of faith and perseverance in the midst of great suffering and persecution.

Hurricane Harvey: What's a Christian to do?The flood waters may still be raging in Houston and the death counts rising, but already, people are starting to point fingers of blame.

Songs of Scripture - Faculty Sermons - Fall 2016On Thursday mornings at Wycliffe it is customary for the faculty to preach in a series that goes through the term. Sometimes we preach on a given book of Scripture, like Jeremiah; sometimes it is on some key aspect of the Christian life, like vocation. This term, we will be preaching on the biblical “canticles”, that is, on those parts of Scripture we know to be songs: the Song of Moses at the Red Sea in Exodus 15, the so-called “Magnificat” or Song of Mary from Luke, and so on. |
