We are a Gospel-focused learning community based in the Niagara Diocese of the Anglican Church of Canada that trains effective missional leaders to respond to the needs of God’s world.
In the Diocese of Niagara we have a fabulous new resource called the Niagara School for Missional Leadership. The courses offered are much more than just leadership courses for clergy. There are a number of courses being offered this fall that might interest you such as:
Christian Foundations: From Abraham to Jesus with Patrick Paulsen
When: Monday evenings, 7:00p–9:00p on Zoom September 12–October 17, 2022
Course Fee: $250
Many people are familiar with the concept of an overarching narrative (storyline) when looking at the history of our faith: from the Old Testament, through to the New and on into the history of the church, we can see God at work. However, when people think of, say, the Old Testament, disconnected images come to mind (King David, the Exodus, prophets, and others). The problem is that many people have no real idea of how these individual stories flow together and fit into the historical narrative.
This course will help you to follow the story of our faith and scriptures by:
Presenting the history in a flowing, coherent narrative,
Examining foundational aspects of our faith,
Seeing Jesus from the perspective of his first-century context,
Discussing the origin and ongoing story of the church (including learning about how we got our Creeds and the Canon of Scripture we follow), and asking how we can be part of this community which is Christ’s body.
