Our Mission

To provide rich and stimulating audio resources to the wider church and engage topics and issues relevant to the concerns and questions of the larger culture in which we live.

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. 

In this first episode we have two speakers, each addressing how creation care has become a part of their sense of Christian calling. The first speaker is Zoe Matties, the Manitoba program director for A Rocha Canada, an international Christian environmental group writing a new story of possibility and hope in the midst of the crisis of climate change and environmental degradation. Following Zoe, you’ll hear from Karen Cornelius, whose work as a visual artist and printmaker is woven together with her passion for creation care. 

We would encourage you to listen to Zoe's’ more detailed presentation from our January 2020 ideaExchange evening, and to take a look at a video of Karen’s Altered Landscapes performative liturgy from November 2019

In this episode Jamie Howison shares a conversation with Ike Sturm, bassist and composer, and the Music Director for the Jazz Ministry at St Peter’s Church in Manhattan. 

Downbeat Magazine awarded Ike’s Jazz Mass album four and a half stars, describing it as “an excellent work that melds jazz and the mass genre together extremely well,” and noting that it “exudes serenity, peacefulness and a still calmness.” 

To find out more about Ike Sturm and to listen to samples of his work with his duo project Endless Field, visit his website. You should also take a look at a lovely video of his setting of Psalm 23, which features at the end of this podcast.

For centuries the Christian church has organized the year into liturgical seasons. In so doing, it makes sacred the ordinary time of a twelve-month calendar.  By sanctifying our hours and days this way the  church traces the mystery of salvation and the course of salvation history. 

Lent is the forty-day liturgical season stretching from Ash Wednesday through to Easter Eve. In this episode of our year-long series about the church seasons, Jamie Howison introduces us to what lies ahead.

If you are close-by, plan to join us during Lent as we find varied to explore the rich meanings of this season.

For centuries the Christian church has organized the year into liturgical seasons. In so doing, it makes sacred the ordinary time of a twelve-month calendar.  By sanctifying our hours and days this way the church traces the mystery of salvation and the course of salvation history.

Not every denomination observes the church calendar. Even within the Anglican communion there is some confusion about what these seasons and feast days are all about.

In this episode Jamie Howison introduces the idea of living our lives according to a different concept of time and in short episodes to follow throughout the year ahead he’ll be back again to explain each season as the months unfold.

Archbishop Nicholls was elected to the office of Primate at the General Synod of the Anglican Church of Canada, held in July 2019.  At the time of her election she was serving as Bishop of the Diocese of Huron, and prior to that as Area Bishop of the Trent-Durham region in the Diocese of Toronto. She also has almost twenty years of ministry experience as a parish priest in the Diocese of Toronto, and also worked for the national church as Coordinator for Dialogue for Ethics, Interfaith Relations and Congregational Development for the Anglican Church of Canada. A graduate of Wycliffe College in Toronto, she also holds degrees in music and education, as well as a Doctor of Ministry from the University of Toronto. 

Archbishop Nicholls is the first woman to be elected to the office of Primate of the Canadian Church, and only the second woman in the worldwide Anglican communion to serve as a primate.

A sermon on Matthew 5:21-37 by Jamie Howison, offered on February 16, 2020 at saint benedict's table.

This podcast is created at saint benedict’s table, a congregation of the Anglican Church of Canada in Winnipeg. We’ve been podcasting since 2006 and put a renewed focus on this ministry in 2019.

Our goal is to provide rich and stimulating audio resources to the wider church and engage topics and issues relevant to the concerns and questions of the larger culture in which we live.

Jamie Howison speaks with Malcolm Guite, a priest, chaplain to Girton College in Cambridge, theologian, musician and poet. The author of not only theological books but also numerous collections of poetry, Malcolm’s latest book is After Prayer: New sonnets and other poems, published in November 2019 by Canterbury Press. In an endorsement for the 2012 Sounding the Seasons collection, the former Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams commented, “These pieces have the economy and pungency of all good sonnets, and again and again, offer deep resources for prayer and meditation to the reader,” to which the American poet Luci Shaw added, “Each of Malcolm Guite’s sonnets is like a Celtic knot, with threads of devotion and theology cunningly woven into shining emblems of truth and beauty.”

To find out more about Malcolm and his work, visit his website, where you will find recordings of him reading his poetry along with all sorts of other good things. You can also follow him on Facebook.
