Evy would say her top highlights were travelling with her family as a child and then with her husband and their kids as they were growing up. Other favourite times were when she trained to be a nurse in the 80s and when she studied recently for her master’s in peacebuilding and collaborative development. Evy loves creative writing and has recently published a children’s book called ghosts don’t have bodies, which celebrates the privilege of having a body. She is very grateful for her husband, Steve, her kids and their partners, and her grandkids, who have so much to teach her about life.

Max Harwood attends Holy Nativity Orthodox Church in Langley, BC, Canada. He has an Undergrad in Biblical Studies (Columbia Bible College) and a Masters in Theology (Orthodox School of Theology, University of Toronto).
