SUMMARY:God-Talks from Diasporic Filipino Ministers in the UCC
DESCRIPTION:Our lunch time Intercultural Coffee Chai series resumes! \nThursday\, Sept 25\, 2025\, 12:30pm MDT and CST/1:30pm CDT (90 minutes).  \nIntercultural Stories and Narratives: God-Talks from Diasporic Filipino Ministers in the United Church of Canada \nBring your lunch and join us as we resume the Western Intercultural Ministries Network 100th Anniversary series honouring ethno-cultural communities within the United Church. \nThe Filipino Ministers Network in The United Church of Canada invites you to join them for a panel discussion about seeking God in the midst of every-day life. In the Philippines\, theologizing is embodied in everyday life; not seen as a separate religious category or exercise. Faith grows out of our lived experience: life-stories\, turning points\, crises and celebrations. God is active in shaping our everyday decision-making. \nWe’ve invited three Filipino ministers to reflect on their own faith-journeys\, and describe how they have come to talk about God differently with each other\, and with the congregations they lead. They’ll talk about how being immigrants to Canada has shaped their understanding of God\, and how theologies emerging in the Philippines can enrich their life and work within the Canadian church and culture. \nJoin us to broaden your theological imagination! \nZoom info:\nhttps://united-church.zoom.us/j/81253431672?pwd=Bg3Wb0bPR1IvIn48wLLyZLw2GPL6Yi.1 \nMeeting ID: 812 5343 1672        Password: 231524 \nPhone as needed: 855 703 8985 Canada Toll-free \nPanelists\, Topics\, and Bios\n\n\nRev.

SUMMARY:"1946: The Mistranslation That Shifted Culture" dinner and a movie event
DESCRIPTION:1946: The Mistranslation That Shifted Culture is a feature documentary that follows the story of tireless researchers who trace the origins of the anti-gay movement among Christians to a grave mistranslation of the Bible in 1946. \nIt chronicles the discovery of never-before-seen archives at Yale University which unveil astonishing new revelations\, and casts significant doubt on any biblical basis for LGBTQIA+ prejudice. Featuring commentary from prominent scholars as well as opposing pastors\, including the personal stories of the film’s creators\, 1946 is at once challenging\, enlightening\, and inspiring. \nJoin us for pizza\, viewing and discussion. Registration is required and closes June 26. Free will offering.
