MILC Annual General Meeting 2024

Please join MILC for the Annual General Meeting followed a presentation by guest speaker Rev. Dr. Shawn Redden. Reimagining Our Baptismal Promises in a Post-Pandemic Church

Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me; do not stop them, for it is to such as these that the kindom of God belongs…. Receive the kindom of God like one of these… And Jesus took them up in his arms, laid his hands on them, and blessed them.” (Mark 10:13-16)

In the presentation, Reimagining Our Baptismal Promises in a Post-Pandemic Church, Rev. Dr. Shawn Redden discusses how at Baptism, our congregations make a promise to provide spiritual nurture and faith formation for children and all persons welcomed into the Community of Faith. In this talk, Rev. Redden will help us investigate how we honour our baptismal promise in a post-pandemic church when fewer of us can offer traditional Sunday School. We will consider what innovations in faith formation and spiritual nurture we are being called to imagine into reality. Perhaps there is an opportunity in this new era of being Church for us to nurture the ‘child’ in each of us.
