Shifting Stats: Shaking the Church. World Vision Canada's 2014 Church Leaders...WVCNCE
Gain a bird’s-eye view of Canada’s new cultural context and a different lens through which to re-frame the Gospel.
In spring 2014, more than 800 church leaders in 10 Canadian cities participated in the church leaders forum: "Shifting Stats: Shaking the Church."
Using the latest Canadian statistics and church research, Dr. Don Moore, World Vision’s National Church Ambassador, painted the picture of our new cultural and religious landscape. Bruxy Cavey, author and Teaching Pastor at The Meeting House, then challenged our thinking on how to not only present but also live out the Gospel given these new realities.
Since 2007, World Vision Canada has offered these half-day church leader events to serve the local church. We strive to offer relevant ministry topics and host a space for honest conversation and collaboration among local leaders.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…
The Book of Joshua is the sixth book in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament, and is the first book of the Deuteronomistic history, the story of Israel from the conquest of Canaan to the Babylonian exile.

30.
31. So, just exactly
why and how
do we figure
out all the
service projects
for over 32,000
people?
32. THE PROCESS:
Preparation
Listening deeply
Action
Joining local organizations and leaders
in what they are doing
Reflection
Noticing the movement of God
Celebration
Maximizing the gifts of high school
students and adult mentors
33. Tune In
to your neighborhood
•Deep listening
•Assessing gifts & passions
•Creating partnerships
34. Tune In
•Deep listening
If we are
serious about
accompanying
our neighbor,
we start with
deep listening.
35. Deep listening means we
watch our listening filters so
we really hear what
is being communicated.
We suspend our judgment.
We lead with questions.
40. We create an action plan that includes local leaders – we
don’t rush in trying to fix – rather we join what is already
going on, working side by side with others.
42. Accompaniment describes the way God walks with us,
and the way our church therefore walks and works
among Christian communities in other places and
countries. Together we participate in God’s reconciling
mission.
Accompaniment is both a lens for seeing the world
and a way to engage one another in mission. Through
the lens of accompaniment, we see that relationships
are at the core of mission. This is a new theology.
44. “True compassion is more than
flinging a coin to a beggar. It comes
to see that an edifice which
produces beggars needs
restructuring.”
- The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
45. Where do you start? Think about …
• Local – in your own neighborhood
• Domestic – in our country
• Global – in our world
48. To live with them among God’s faithful people,
To bring them to the word of God and the holy supper,
To teach them the Lord’s Prayer, the Creed, and the Ten Commandments, to
place in their hands the holy scriptures, and nurture them in the faith and
prayer, SO THAT
Your children may learn to trust God,
Proclaim Christ through word and deed,
Care for others and the world God made,
And work for justice and peace.
- Evangelical Lutheran Worship
