A Prayer for the Week
God our deliverer,
you walk with the meek and the poor,
the compassionate and those who mourn,
and you call us to walk humbly with you.
When we are foolish, be our wisdom;
when we are weak, be our strength;
that, as we learn to do justice
and to love mercy,
your rule may come as blessing. Amen.

Exploring Interfaith Ministry
World Interfaith Harmony Week happens every year from February 1-7. Come explore what Interfaith Ministry is. How do we understand it and practice it? How do we learn from other faiths to enhance our understanding of our own faith?
We invite you to join other in the Diocese of Toronto online for this first initiative of the Bishop’s Committee on Interfaith Ministry on Monday, January 30 at 7:00 pm. The first hour will provide a definition and conversation about interfaith ministry from our own perspectives. The second hour features a unique interfaith panel that will help us grow in understanding.
