For many years, I lived with a mental ‘to-do’ list. Household tasks, childcare duties, work commitments, and relationships all demanded my time and attention. I thought life was quiet when half a dozen, rather than the usual two dozen things, vied for my attention. In the evening, as I reviewed my day, I’d pat myself […] The post Being in the World appeared first on Rupert's Land News .
In this issue, Rev. Andrew Colman begins by elaborating on how we are at our best when we allow the work of the Holy Spirit to shine forth in our lives, gifts, and talents. Then, Rev. Jamie Howison shares what he has learned in his almost 40 years as a priest, and now that he […] The post June Issue: Identity: Known and Loved appeared first on Rupert's Land News .
Good day, everyone. Bishop Rachael from the Diocese of Brandon writing. While I am tickled pink to have been asked to write another article for The Rupert’s Land News, I must say that I find the topic interesting (and challenging) considering the time in which I am writing. It is the Easter Season. Alleluia! Christ […] The post God with some Skin appeared first on Rupert's Land News .
The last time I wrote, we were in the depths of Holy Week, entering into the sublime solemnity of that festival. Today, I write to you from the stark and simultaneously bright Dawson City, Yukon. This town sits amidst snow-dusted mountains and at the confluence of the Yukon and Klondike rivers. It is the latest […] The post The Proximity of Heaven and Earth: Divinity imbued in nature appeared…
If there is one thing that all our authors draw attention to, it’s to be attentive. Be attentive to where God is, regardless of whether those places are expected or unexpected. Anil Pinto-Gfroerer reminds us that God is present in conversation, questions, and in the beauty of the created world. Krista Waring and Rev. Deacon […] The post May Issue: Word Made Flesh appeared first on Rupert's Land…
In our Christian faith, humility is rooted in the very character of God revealed in the life of Jesus Christ. In this reflection, I will explore humility through an Indigenous Christian lens and attempt to find some common threads that bring our understandings together. The Indigenous People of this Land have treasured and cared for […] The post Humility — Walking a Pathway of Gratitude and…
Today, I speak to you from the depths of Holy Week. Maundy Thursday is nigh upon us, and I have entered this week in the way I do all Holy Weeks – scattered and a bit destroyed from the wiles of March. If you are like me and have found yourself worn out by Lent […] The post Receiving the Fragrant Oil: The art of humility appeared first on Rupert's Land News .
In the fourth year of my undergrad, I took a course titled “Prayer in the Christian Tradition.” In this course, we looked at various figures, praying styles, and books referring to prayer (a number of which I have referenced in my previous articles). One that caught my attention was a figure named St. Athanasius of […] The post The Humility of St. Antony appeared first on Rupert's Land News .
Our authors all provide different viewpoints on where humility can be found and what it means for each of them. Anil Pinto-Gfroerer presents Maundy Thursday’s foot washing as an example of humble service. Ben Girgis tells of the life of St. Antony the Great and how he (and those around him) showed and lived […] The post April Issue: Throned in Humility appeared first on Rupert's Land News .
My brother, Jesse, was the kind of guy who could make friends with anyone. His unconventional perspective and non-judgmental attitude meant he could find ways to connect with others, no matter their age or their background. His inventive and creative spirit kept everyone on their toes, as he found uses for things most of us […] The post The Incomprehensible Mystery appeared first on Rupert's Land…
