saint benedict's table

Due to the suspension of all liturgies and gatherings in our diocese, we have been unable to gather for the past two Wednesdays in our Lenten series of stories of call and vocation. We did, however, arrange to have Danielle Morton record her presentation remotely. Danielle is a member of saint benedict's table, one of our team leaders to our participation in the "Communities of Calling" initiative of the Collegeville Institute, and the Spiritual Life Facilitator & Coordinator of Commuter Programming at Canadian Mennonite University.

During the course of her talk, Danielle references a book by Kathleen Cahalan entitled The Stories We Live: Finding God's Calling All around Us. More information on this book is available at the Eerdmans Publishing website.

Rachel Twigg's sermon on John 9:1-41, for the Fourth Sunday in Lent. This sermon was offered on the first Sunday that our community was unable to gather in the church building, due to the Covid-19 pandemic. There were just five of us present to lead the liturgy and provide the music, with a much larger congregation being gathered through Facebook Live. The full service is available as a video on our website.

“Contagion is real, but it doesn’t just work for viruses. It works for kind words and generous thoughts, and acts of selflessness and honesty."

Taffy Brodesser-Akner, New York Times

For A Time Like This looks at how Christians came to be known as contagious people. Sharing love and compassion as fast as illness spread from person to person. That call to love our neighbour as ourselves remains key to who we are as people of the cross.

With insight from Rodney Stark and music by Jenny Moore, the rector of saint ben's Jamie Howison explores how we can continue to turn toward love and compassion in the shadow of the pandemic.

For the 2020 Lenten season, we’re presenting a series of five evening sessions featuring various members of our community telling stories related to their own sense of calling or vocation.

For this second episode in the series, Sharon Cadigan shares a highly personal story that begins in what she describes as a “dark night of the soul,” and is marked by both learning and insight and by loss and grief. In the end it is the story of a person who has learned to answer a call not simply to some particular work or role, but rather to vulnerability.

Sharon Cadigan is member of our community, an Equine Assisted Learning Master Facilitator, and a graduate of Inner Visions Institute for Spiritual Development. She is currently training in the field of clinical pastoral education and serving as a spiritual director.

In this episode Jamie Howison engages a conversation with the vibraphonist and composer Chris Dingman. John Weber of National Public Radio has called Chris, “A true virtuoso on the vibes,” and described him as, “An extremely gifted young composer, bandleader, recording artist, and much sought-after sideman.” He is also someone who brings a rather unique vision as to how music can be a source of peace and restoration, even through the hardest of days.
 
Find out more about Chris Dingman by heading to his website, where you’ll find audio samples and an excerpt from the documentary film, The Vibes. There you’ll also find information on Chris’s brand new album Embrace, released March 6, 2020. If you’re interested in learning more about The Peace Project, you can go to the website of the Inner Arts Initiative.
