The focus of the course is to provide a brief historical background and an update on the state of the reconciliation process\, and to frame the present pastoral and theological questions and challenges as well as the progress made since the final report of the TRC and the Calls to Action. About eighteen theologians\, pastoral leaders\, academics\, and activists\, Indigenous and non-Indigenous\, are invited to share their reflections on this topic based on their experience\, action\, and research. \nOffered in a one-week\, intensive\, online format\, this course engages participants with Indigenous and non-Indigenous theological and pastoral voices\, through live video presentations\, discussions\, and readings. In addition\, the Indigenous resurgence and its implications for the churches and theology will also be discussed. The course is open to undergraduate and graduate students\, as well as to interested members of the public who do not need to take it for credit. It would be of particular benefit to pastoral agents in the churches ministering with Indigenous Peoples. The class will meet online twice a day\, from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.\, and from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.\, Monday to Saturday from June 7-12. Additional readings\, online assignments\, and small group discussion forums are required for students who are taking the course for credit. \nTextbooks and other readings\nFor all students who taking the course for credit\, the textbook is:\nMichel Andraos\, ed.\, The Church and Indigenous Peoples in the Americas: In Between Reconciliation and Decolonization\, vol. 7\, Studies in World Catholicism (Eugene\, OR: Cascade Books\, 2019). \nGraduate students have the following additional textbook:\nMichael Asch\, John Borrows\, and James Tully\, eds.\, Resurgence and Reconciliation: Indigenous-Settler Relations and Earth Teachings (Toronto: University of Toronto Press\, 2018). \nOther readings: there will be additional readings specific to some sessions and presentations either as background\, follow-up\, or for more information. These reading will be shared with the participants as the course will start. \nRequirements\nIn addition to attending the sessions on zoom and participating actively in the discussions\, students taking the course for credit will be required to write a final research and reflection paper according to their program criteria. More information on the final paper will be indicated in the syllabus\, which will be available as of mid May. The deadline for the final papers is June 28. \nRegistration information\nIf you are not a regular student at Saint Paul University or the University of Ottawa and would like to take the course\, please use the following link for registration: https://ustpaul.ca/form-special-student.php \nFor more information about registration\, please e-mail theology@ustpaul.ca. \nFor any questions concerning the course requirements\, please email Miranda Roberts\, teaching assistant of the course\, at mrobe180@uottawa.ca. \nSource: https://ustpaul.ca/en/new-theology-courses-invite-the-public-to-explore-current-issues_7411_17.htm

DESCRIPTION:Rise Up and Reach Out:\nThe Pandemic Calls Forth\nthe Compassionate Healing Ministry of Jesus \nREGISTER \nPresentation\nWhile the term “unprecedented” might be overused\, no one will argue that the arrival of COVID-19 and the global pandemic have disrupted everyone’s lives worldwide.

Not only a crisis\, however\, but also a great reminder! Not only a reminder\, but also an opportunity! Catholic health care is based on a values response to the Gospel mandate to care for people and heal the sick in a compassionate way. The pandemic has called us to think about how we value “essential workers.” It has prompted us to re-examine the social determinants of health. \nThis conference will seek to examine the response to the pandemic within our organizations\, the way we have delivered care and cared for those who deliver it.

Substitutions are acceptable at any time. \nKeynote Speakers and Facilitator\nKeynote Speaker #1: Dr. David Dean of Atlantic School of Theology \n \n“Crossing Boundaries: The Holy Spirit and the formation of Christ’s Body” \nDr. David Deane will speak about the baptismal life as a life lived in relationship with the Holy Spirit. He will focus on some key moments in scripture\, which show what the relationship with the Holy Spirit is like. He will also unpack Hildegard of Bingen’s understanding of how we live out our vocation through a process where the Holy Spirit pollinates our natural gifts. The goal will be for participants to come to a greater understanding of how the Christian life\, in terms of their roles in faith formation\, social justice\, evangelism\, or any other role\, is a life lived in relationship with the Holy Spirit in a very intimate way. \nDr. David Deane is Associate Professor of Theology at Atlantic School of Theology. His books include “Nietzsche and Theology” and “Resisting the Tyranny of the Banal”\, which is forthcoming with Fortress/Lexington Academic. A former fellow of the Irish Research Council for the Humanities and Social Sciences\, he has written for The Times of London\, The Irish Times\, and The Irish Independent. He lives in Dartmouth\, Nova Scotia\, with his wife Jennifer\, and daughters\, Sophia (14)\, Chora (12)\, and Àine\, 7. \nKeynote Speaker #2: Sister Margo Ritchie\, CSJ of London\, Ontario \n \nWhere is This Place Called ‘Here’-The Adjacent Possible? \nBorrowing a phrase from Irish poet Padraig O Tuama\, Margo will begin to describe the landscape of this place called ‘here’ as a starting point for conversation among us. How we name this place called ‘here’ influences what we see…and what we don’t see.  Through the lens of call she will explore with us the image of the “adjacent possible”. \nSr. Margo Ritchie\, CSJ \nMargo is a Sister of St. Joseph whose life has taken her from teaching high school to being a co-director of a home for women in transition\, to the work of spiritual direction at a retreat house in London. Her service now is the very interesting work of leadership within her Congregation. \nShe cares about making the world a more hospitable place for everyone and learning ways to live more humanly together. \nKeynote Speaker #3: Father Daniel Horan\, OFM of Chicago \n \nDiscernment\, Vocation\, and Formation in the Thought of Pope Francis \nIn keeping with the vision of a universal call to holiness expressed in the documents of the Second Vatican Council\, Pope Francis has frequently written and spoken about need to attend to discernment in the lives of all the baptized. Recognizing consecrated religious life and ministerial priesthood as subsets of a broader theology of vocation\, this presentation explores what the pope’s contributions to the themes of discernment and vocation have to offer to renewed consideration of religious formation and vocation ministries. \nDaniel P. Horan\, OFM\, PhD is the Duns Scotus Professor of Spirituality at Catholic Theological Union in Chicago\, where he teaches systematic theology and spirituality\, a columnist for the National Catholic Reporter\, and the author of hundreds of articles and more than twelve books\, including Catholicity and Emerging Personhood: A Contemporary Theological Anthropology(Orbis Books\, 2019)\, which received the 2020 First Place Award for Theology Book from the Association of Catholic Publishers. Among his forthcoming books due out later this year are A White Catholic’s Guide to Racism and Privilege and The Way of the Franciscans: A Prayer Journey Through Lent. Fr. Daniel regularly lectures around the United States and abroad; serves on a number of university\, academic\, and publication editorial boards\, including the St. Bonaventure University Board of Trustees\, the Franciscan School of Theology Board of Regents\, and the Board of Directors of the International Thomas Merton Society. He is co-host of The Francis Effect Podcast. For information\, visit www.DanHoran.com \nOur Facilitator: Sr. Elizabeth Davis\, RSM\, PhD \n \nElizabeth Davis is the Congregational Leader of the Sisters of Mercy of Newfoundland and Labrador.  In that role\, she has special leadership responsibilities for St. Patrick’s Mercy Home\, The Gathering Place\, and Mercy Centre for Ecology and Justice.  She has been a high school teacher and a health care administrator.  She has recently completed doctoral studies in Scripture at the University of Toronto. Among her awards are membership in the Order of Canada and the Order of Newfoundland and Labrador as well as honorary doctoral degrees from Memorial University of Newfoundland and the University of Manitoba. \nUpdate from our U.S. Counterparts: \nSr. Deborah Borneman\, SS.C.M.\, MDiv\, MA is the Executive Director of Member Relations and Services at the National Religious Vocation Conference (NRVC). She will bring us up to date on the activities of vocation ministry in the USA. \nSr. Ellen Dauwer\, SC\, PhD is a Sister of Charity (Convent Station\, NJ) and serves as Executive Director of the Religious Formation Conference\, (RFC). She will be on hand to give us an update on formation activities in the United States. \nWorkshop Session Details\nDue to our online format\, participants will be able to attend all 9 workshops if desired. \n1.The Dawning Future of Religious Life: Germinating and Radiating – Brenda Peddigrew\, RSM\, PhD\nAlthough we see a significant diminishing of numbers in our Canadian ways of living religious life\, and many of our familiar Congregations are coming to conscious completion\, it is most important at this time to recognize and attend to the deep and abiding influences that our Congregations have had and still have. Instead of “ending” we are really in “germination”\, and our good influence in the world continues to radiate wherever we are or have been. The soul of this workshop is the recognition and practice of seeing how the heart of religious life continues in different forms\, and will continue long after traditional forms have transformed. \n2. Do Monkeys Go to Heaven? The Beauty and Wisdom of Faith and Science – Rev. John W. McCarthy\, SJ\, PhD\nThere persists a seemingly widespread notion that religious faith and empirical science must\, by necessity\, be in conflict. Yet as many contemporary scholars of the history of science tell us\, the relationship is much more complex than that. \nProperly understood\, science and religion are not in conflict but act as fruitful partners in a healthy dialogue that seeks the truth of the fullness of human experience.  Placing biological evolution in dialogue with the Christian theology of creation\, we will examine the wisdom and beauty of science and faith.  We will consider the vast\, wondrous world of “both/and” rather than the limited\, oppressive world of “either/or.” Both science and faith deal with data – albeit data of a different character and quality.  Both scientific and theological/philosophical inquiry need to be taken seriously.  It is in charitable and welcoming dialogue that any semblance of truth may be attained. \n3. Formation that Nurtures Transformative Servant Leadership – Sr. Miriam K. Martin\, PBVM\, PhD\nI have meaningful and challenging conversations both within my NL Province and the larger International Presentation Congregation about formation for emerging leaders within our groups. It is evident that leadership development for religious life and ministry is nurtured in initial formation. In these evolving times within religious life\, mature human development and a commitment to a communal way of life play a significant role in drawing persons into living and leading with depth\, authenticity\, and creativity. This is a movement towards transformative servant leadership. \n4. Christus Vivit:  From Paper to Practice – Santo Arrigo\, C.Ss.R.\nExploring the gift and essence of the Apostolic Exhortation to Young People\, Christus Vivit\, and applying the scope and vision as a pastoral and missionary priority within the context of a religious congregation in Canada. \n5. Who are our Newest Members? A Look at Millennials and Gen Z – Sr. Ellen Dauwer\, SC\, PhD\nThis presentation will begin with an overall look at the two most recent generations: Millennials and Gen Zeders. It will then focus on Catholics in these generations and conclude with a look at characteristics of members of these generations who are entering religious life. CARA and Pew research will form the foundation of the presentation. \n6. Catechetical Formation of Candidates for Religious Life: Challenges and Opportunities – Tony Bidgood\, C.Ss.R.\, MDiv\nIn the presentation\, Fr. Tony will give a description of the conditions of belief in 21st– Century secular Canada\, with a focus on the opportunities posed by this time to the catechetical formation of candidates for religious life. \n7. Together for Mission: Formation of Associates of Religious Institutes – Anne Walsh\, DMin\nIn this presentation\, we will explore charisms as gifts of the Holy Spirit to the Church. Together\, we will explore the dimensions of charism\, and ask how new vision and understanding might lead us to new possibilities for identifying\, inviting\, forming and calling associates to greater missionary involvement. \n8.“Done Made My Vow To The Lord: The Vocational Call of Sister Thea Bowman\, FSPA” – Maurice J. Nutt\, C.Ss.R.\nThis workshop takes a deep dive into the conversion to Catholicism\, acceptance\, challenges\, and perseverance of the vocational journey of Servant of God Sister Thea Bowman\, FSPA. Sister Thea was multi-vocational as a teacher\, preacher\, singer\, and evangelist.  We explore her conviction to fully live the calling of religious life in an authentic way as an apologetically black woman while promoting intercultural awareness and advocating for racial reconciliation within the Catholic Church and beyond. \n9. Due Diligence in Vocation Ministry – Sr. Deborah Borneman\, SS.C.M.\, MDiv\, MA \nVocation ministers have the right to gather the data they need for due diligence in candidate assessment yet safeguard the candidate’s right to minimal intrusion. This workshop is designed to update participants on the trends\, best practices\, and challenges of contemporary vocation ministry. Using a case study approach\, participants will delve deeper into candidate issues that delay or preclude admission. Topics include the demographics to consider when inviting discerners and the latest research on newer members. \nThis will be a wonderful conference and the Planning Committee and the Board are delighted to welcome you to this exciting gathering. \nIf you have any questions\, feel free to contact: Sr Nancy Sullivan\, Executive Director of NAVFD at navfdco@gmail.com \nREGISTRATION FORM \nBROCHURE

SUMMARY:Webinar “Canada\, the Churches\, and Bill C-15”
DESCRIPTION:Information on the Federal Bill C-15 \nIn March 2016\, the Canadian Religious Conference (CRC)\, the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops (CCCB)\, the Canadian Catholic Aboriginal Council\, and Caritas Canada – Development and Peace signed a joint declaration\, in answer to Call to Action 48 (CTA 48) of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. CTA 48 called on all faith groups in Canada to “formally adopt and comply with the principles\, norms\, and standards of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) as a framework for reconciliation.” The UNDRIP was passed by the United Nations General Assembly in 2007\, and the Holy See Permanent Observer to the UN has explicitly endorsed this Declaration on numerous occasions. \nOn December 3rd\, 2020\, the Honorable David Lametti\, Federal Minister of Justice\, introduced Bill C-15\, which would require the Government of Canada\, in consultation and cooperation with Indigenous peoples\, to take all measures necessary to ensure that the laws of Canada are consistent with the rights of Indigenous peoples set out in the UNDRIP. Bill C-15 reflects Bill C-262 and takes it further. C-262 had been introduced by NPD MP Romeo Saganash in 2016 and was adopted by a majority of federal MPs\, only to be blocked by Conservative Senators in 2019. \nThe support of Churches\, institutes of consecrated life and organizations who answered CTA 48 is requested for Bill C-15. In order to present in more detail the bill of law\, its consequences for Indigenous Peoples in Canada\, and its next steps\, you are invited to a webinar. \nFor more information : \n\nCatholic response to CTA 48: https://crc-canada.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Catholic-Response-Call-to-Action-48.pdf\nInformation and invitation to support Bill C-15: https://www.faithinthedeclaration.ca/\n\nThe webinar\nFebruary 18 at 7:00 pm (EST) there will be a learning event “Canada\, the Churches\, and Bill C-15” sponsored by “Faith in the Declaration”: A coalition of faith houses and organizations in support of UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples legislation. \nThe event will include conversation on why The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples legislation is important to Canadian churches. A panel of experts will describe Bill C-15\, the legislation the government of Canada is introducing to implement UNDRIP\, and explore the support and opposition to the Bill. \nPanelists\n \n\nPanel Moderator: Archbishop Mark MacDonald\, National Anglican Indigenous Bishop and WCC North American Vice-President;\n\n \n\nChief Wilton (Willie) Littlechild\, A Cree lawyer\, former member of Parliament and former Grand Chief of the Confederacy of Treaty Six First Nations\, former member of Parliament\, and Commissioner to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission;\n\n \n\nProfessor Sheryl Lightfoot\, Canada Research Chair in Global Indigenous Rights and Politics\, UBC Associate Professor: First Nations and Indigenous Studies and Political Science;\n\n \n\nEllen Gabriel\, Mohawk activist and artist from Kanehsatà:ke Nation – Turtle Clan\, spokesperson chosen by the People of the Longhouse during the Oka Crisis.\n\nThe event will be in English with simultaneous French translation. \nEvent time\nThursday\, February 18\, 2021 \n\n4:00-5:30 p.m.\, Pacific Standard Time (PST)\n5:00-6:30 p.m.\, Mountain Standard Time (MST)\n6:00-7:30 p.m.\, Central Standard Time (CST)\n7:00-8:30 p.m.\, Eastern Standard Time (EST)\n8:00-9:30 p.m.\, Atlantic Standard Time (AST)\n8:30-10:00 p.m.\, Newfoundland Standard Time (NST)\n\nREGISTRATION

SUMMARY:What leadership for a Church in transformation?
DESCRIPTION:Presentation\nReligious leadership has been facing major challenges for several years. The decline in vocations\, the aging of consecrated persons\, the management of the material and spiritual heritage are all challenges that burden the reality of religious leadership. At the same time\, episcopal leadership is also facing similar challenges. The pandemic has catalyzed the awareness that we are called to being Church differently\, in an evolving synodality. \nBeyond questions of governance\, we can reflect upon the spiritual intelligence of leadership\, its styles and inspirations. How can religious and episcopal leadership mutually enrich one another? What are the post-pandemic perspectives for consecrated life and its place in the Church as a whole? \nThis webinar will begin with a socio-historical introduction on the transformations impacting the Church in Canada. We will then give the floor to a leader of men or women religious and a bishop to share their vision of leadership for a Church in transformation. \nAudience\nThe webinars are intended for members of the CRC and their leadership teams. Leaders of local communities can also participate. \nPanelists\n– Socio-historical perspective: Pr. E.-Martin Meunier\, Professor and holder of the Chaire de recherche Québec\, francophonie canadienne et mutations culturelles at the University of Ottawa\n– Leadership in consecrated life: Sr. Elizabeth Davis\, RSM\, Congregational Leader of the Sisters of Mercy of Newfoundland\n– Episcopal leadership: The Most Rev. Donald Bolen\, Archbishop of Regina \n \nPr. E.-Martin Meunier \n \nSr Elizabeth Davis\, RSM \n \nThe Most Rev. Donald Bolen \nProgram\n\nWelcome and prayer\nSocio-historical introduction\nLeadership in consecrated life\nEpiscopal leadership\nDialogue\, questions & answer period\nConclusion\n\nLOCAL TIMES: \nNewfoundland Standard Time (NST): from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m.\nAtlantic Standard Time (AST): from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m.\nEastern Standard Time (EST): from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m.\nCentral Standard Time (CST): from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m.\nMountain Standard Time (MST): from 12:00 to 2:00 p.m.\nPacific Standard Time (PST): from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m \nAbout the CRC’s 2020-2021 programming\nFor the first time this year\, the CRC’s programming will be entirely online and interregional. The webinar approach will give CRC members an opportunity to meet differently\, and to have more discussions amongst members of different regions. \nThe webinars will open up spaces for discussions\, allowing for meaningful exchanges of ideas and new perspectives. They will equip members and take them on a common journey of discernment about the role of consecrated life in today’s world.

SUMMARY:Webinar: "Beyond GDP: Reimagining Economics for our Common Home"
DESCRIPTION:Presentation\nThis webinar is the first part of the series From Crisis to Care: Reimagining Economics for our Common Home. The climate crisis and global pandemic have made it starkly clear that old economic ideas are not working. To chart a new future\, we need to challenge the accepted idea that economic growth and gross domestic product (GDP) should be key societal goals. How might we reimagine and reorient economics to focus on care for each other and the Earth\, our common home? \nThis webinar series explores key problems caused by a fixation on economic growth\, particularly growth as measured by Gross Domestic Product (GDP). \nThe climate crisis and global pandemic have made it starkly clear that current mainstream economic ideas are not working. To chart a new future\, we need to unlearn and transcend the accepted ideas that economic growth and gross domestic product (GDP) are what we should build our societies upon. \n\n\n\n\n\nGuest speaker \n\n\nDon’t miss this chance to hear Marilyn Waring\, world-renowned feminist\, former New Zealand politician\, author\, academic\, and activist for human rights and ecological issues. She will explore why growth in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) often results not in improvements to health and well-being\, but rather in greater ecological destruction and social inequality.\n\nRegistration (free event)\nREGISTER \nOrganizers\nAlternative Economics Working Group is part of the Ontario JPIC Lay Network and consists of four organizations: \n\nThe Jesuit Forum for Social Faith and Justice\nMinistry for Social Justice\, Peace\, and Creation Care with the Sisters of St. Joseph of Toronto\nJPIC office of the Sisters of Providence\nJPIC office of the Congregation of Notre Dame (Visitation Province).

SUMMARY:CICLSAL Presentation: “The Gift of Fidelity and the Joy of Perseverance”
DESCRIPTION:The Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life (CICLSAL) invites you to a presentation conference of the document: \nThe Gift of Fidelity and the Joy of Perseverance\n\nThis presentation will be held online on Thursday\, December 10\, 2020 (9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time) live from the Antonianum Auditorium (via Manzoni\, 1 – Rome). \nIt will be live streaming on Internet:  \n\nin English: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVQoL5H0pDw\nin French: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Glw6KT0_LQ\nin Spanish: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CoQwo0kVjeI\nin Italian: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bh0DPzIHM5s\n\n \nPope Francis\, in the recent Encyclical Fratelli tutti\, invites us to dream together: “Here we have a splendid secret that shows us how to dream and to turn our life into a wonderful adventure. No one can face life in isolation… We need a community that supports and helps us\, in which we can help one another to keep looking ahead. How important it is to dream together…” (No 8). \nThe CICLSAL hopes that the presentation of this book will be a space to dream together of a more faithful\, joyful and persevering consecrated life. \nInformation: www.congregazionevitaconsacrata.va \nAbout\nThe Gift of Fidelity and the Joy of Perseverance is a document from the CICLSAL on the current difficulties of members and departures in Institutes of Consecrated Life as well as Secular Institutes. Its purpose is to elaborate and propose some indications regarding the accompaniment of sensitive situations\, but also to provide congregations with the norms of Canon Law and CICLSAL practices that must be respected in such situations. On a subject as delicate as leaving consecrated life\, it is important to offer both an attentive look and a sincere listening. Discernment of the person concerned\, of the accompanier and of the community is even more necessary than elsewhere.

SUMMARY:Towards New Communication Dynamics?
DESCRIPTION:Presentation\nThe recent pandemic has turned our daily lives upside down. Confinement and social distancing measures have impacted community relations. In that context\, most religious communities have been led to use or find new means of communication in order to break down the isolation and stay in touch.  \n\nHow do we communicate in religious communities?\nHow are leaders informed about what is going on in the community?\nHow can information be transmitted in a context of overloaded digital communications?\nLikewise\, how can the work be adapted to a new digital reality (videoconferencing\, digital fatigue\, etc.)?\nHow does technology change the models of communication according to the types of communities (monastic\, contemplative\, apostolic)?\nWhat are the impacts on community dynamism (international travel\, virtual vs. face-to-face meetings\, etc.)?\n\nThis webinar will be aimed at encouraging an exchange about the field of communication among leaders in order to identify the communication models existing in their congregation and the awareness that the pandemic has fostered. \nAudience\nThis Leaders’ Circle is intended for leaders of religious congregations as well as their leadership teams (or community councils). It is an opportunity for leaders and their leadership teams to meet and discuss matters of importance for consecrated life and religious congregations today. \nProgram\n\nWelcome and prayer\nIntroduction to the topic\nPart 1 – The impact of confinement on communication within communities\nPart 2 – Existing and emerging communication models\nConclusion\n\nLOCAL TIMES: \nNewfoundland Standard Time (NST) from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m.\nAtlantic Standard Time (AST) from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m.\nEastern Standard Time (EST) from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m.\nCentral Standard Time (CST) from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m.\nMountain Standard Time (MST) from 12:00 to 2:00 p.m.\nPacific Standard Time (PST) from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. \nContact: mission@crc-canada.org \nAbout the CRC’s 2020-2021 programming\nFor the first time this year\, the CRC’s programming will be entirely online and interregional. The webinar approach will give us an opportunity to meet differently\, and to have more discussions amongst members of different regions. \nThe webinars will open up spaces for discussions\, allowing for meaningful exchanges of ideas and new perspectives. They will equip us and take us on a common journey of discernment about the role of consecrated life in today’s world.

SUMMARY:A Just Future for All Webinar: Resisting a democracy recession
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Tuesday\, November 24 at 2:00 pm (ET)\, as Fr. Xavier Jeyaraj\, SJ\, talks about the alarming transformation of democracy in the world with the election of authoritarian regimes into office. His presentation will focus on India\, the world’s largest democracy\, with parallels drawn with changes taking place in Latin America\, Asia\, Africa and North America. Fr. Xavier will also speak of how justice\, equality\, human rights\, and “development for all” are being redefined by authoritarian governments all over the world. \nWe are in a critical time today\, not simply because of COVID-19\, but because of the state of many democracies around the world. According to renowned scholar\, Larry Diamond\, “we have been going through a democracy recession” and the pandemic is “deepening and accelerating the recession.” \nWhile this trend is alarming\, we also find hope in the voices heard through public protest demanding alternative models of society. The courage of people\, particularly young people\, who oppose the democratically elected ‘dictators\,’ demanding a JUST FUTURE FOR ALL\, can lead to transformative changes for a future built on love\, equality and justice. \nThis webinar is co-sponsored by: \n\nCampion College at the University of Regina\nRegis College\, The Jesuit School of Theology at the University of Toronto\nSt Mark’s College at the University of British Colombia\nSt Paul’s College at the University of Manitoba\nUniversité de Sudbury/University of Sudbury\n\n \nREGISTER

SUMMARY:Governance of religious congregations: Realities\, impasses and ways forward
DESCRIPTION:Presentation\nIn recent years\, the demographics of religious congregations have evolved rapidly.

What criteria and issues should be considered? \nAudience\nThe Leaders’ Circles are intended for members of the CRC. They represent an opportunity for leaders to meet and discuss matters of importance for consecrated life and religious congregations today. \nProgram\n\nWelcome and prayer\nPart 1 – the governance and leadership capacities of congregations\nPart 2 – existing and emerging governance and leadership models\nConclusion\n\nLOCAL TIMES: \nNewfoundland Standard Time (NST) from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m.\nAtlantic Standard Time (AST) from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m.\nEastern Standard Time (EST) from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m.\nCentral Standard Time (CST) from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m.\nMountain Standard Time (MST) from 12:00 to 2:00 p.m.\nPacific Standard Time (PST) from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. \nContact: mission@crc-canada.org \nAbout the CRC’s 2020-2021 programming\nFor the first time this year\, the CRC’s programming will be entirely online and interregional.

SUMMARY:The psychological effects of confinement: Rebuilding communion and relationships
DESCRIPTION:Presentation\nThe confinement has tested community relations and the psychological well-being of several religious community members. It became apparent that some community members had been experiencing isolation long before the pandemic. Others lost their joyfulness and zest for life. The preventative isolation also increased the vulnerability of people suffering from cognitive impairments. \nAs a leader\, how can one help and support those most affected by these challenging times (relationships cut off\, grief\, changes to community life)? What processes could help communities name and overcome the psychological after-effects of the pandemic? How can faith help overcome a traumatic episode? \nThe objective of this webinar is to provide reference points for leaders who find themselves in this situation and help them in renewing community relationships. It follows up on the psychological impacts of the confinement which leaders mentioned during the May 2020 Zoom meetings and recent September webinars. \nGuest speaker\n \nFr. Daniel Renaud\, OMI\, member of the September 2020 webinar panel\, will join us again to offer some psycho-spiritual insights on the psychological impacts of the confinement shared by leaders. \nProgram\n\nWelcome and prayer\nOverview of the psychological effects of confinement followed by a discussion amongst participants \nPsycho-spiritual insights on the psychological impacts and paths for renewing and nurturing community relationships\nQuestions\, answers & comments period\nConclusion\n\nLOCAL TIMES: \nNewfoundland Daylight Time (NDT): from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m.\nAtlantic Daylight Time (ADT): from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m.\nEastern Daylight Time (EDT): from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m.\nCentral Daylight Time (CDT): from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m.\nMountain Daylight Time (MDT): from 12:00 to 2:00 p.m.\nPacific Daylight Time (PDT): from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m \nAbout the CRC’s 2020-2021 programming\nFor the first time this year\, the CRC’s programming will be entirely online and interregional.

Not only\, but we ourselves\, who have the first fruits of the Spirit\, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship\, the redemption of our bodies.” \nRomans 8:22-23 \n“… because of the exuberance of life and the longing to live; to express a passionate vision of the Earth\, and to seek an answer to the questions of my activity\, because I love the Universe\, its energies\, its secrets\, its hopes and because at the same time I am consecrated to God\, the only Origin\, the only End.”\nTeilhard de Chardin \nProgram\nMODULE 1 : Fundamental concepts of leadership\nLet us begin this journey together\, exploring some personal experiences of leadership and reaping the wisdom they offer. Let us become familiar with some fundamental concepts of leadership: role\, system\, purpose\, authority\, power… \nMODULE 2: There is no one way\, but we make our way when we walk \nWhat does it mean to exercise the leadership of consecrated life at this turbulent moment history\, in the world\, in the Church and in our congregations? \nMODULE 3: Weaving Communion\nAs leaders\, we are called to grow more and more in the capacity for dialogue\, non-violent communication\, managing difference in relationships\, generative listening… \nMODULE 4: For I know well the Spring that flows and runs\, although it is night \nHow is this leadership service that I live\, day by day; what is sacred space and transparency of encounter with God? \nMODULE 5: The poor teach us to read the gospel\nIn consecrated life\, can we be leaders and prophets at the same time? \nThe five Modules that make up this Program are full of questions. Our job will not be to respond to them\, but rather to develop an approach\, to acquire a mindset\, to integrate concepts that help us to explore them and to use them as a resource. \n \nSource: UISG
