Is your church flourishing? (Perhaps that’s the wrong question.)
Is your church contributing to the flourishing of your community?
How might we truly be a flourishing church in the world? How might we live in deep spirituality, bold discipleship and daring justice, in ministry that transforms us and the world around us?
Spend a day with the Moderator, the Rev. Dr. Carmen Landsdowne, engaging in reflection and energizing activities towards dream-oriented actions for our churches and communities.
April 13, 2024, at 9:00 am to 4:30 pm (in person)

A life-changing opportunity.

If you have ever been to Camas, our outdoor centre on the Isle of Mull, you will know what a special and life changing place it is.

It is run by a brilliant team of staff and volunteers who share an off-grid, common life. A number of that team are coming to the end of their term at Camas and we will be sad to see them go.

However this also means that we have some very exciting opportunities available to join the Camas community who live down the track.*

We are looking for a:
👉 Co-ordinator
🪴 Gardener
⛺ Activity worker
🌍 Environment worker
🫶 Support worker

You will find all the information about these opportunities on our vacancies page iona.org.uk/vacancies

Closing date for applications for the Co-ordinator post is 23:59 (BST) Sunday 1st October. All other posts applications close 23:59 (GMT) Thursday 2nd November.

*Camas Centre is about a mile and a half down a track. You can find out more about Camas here https://iona.org.uk/visit-and-stay/mull-camas-outdoor-centre/

In June, we were blessed by an amazing group of changemakers speaking about their work supporting 2SLGBTQIA+ communities! 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️

If you missed it, or want to watch it again, you can catch the replay on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LAxC3W5kYE

As part of the discussion, Rev. Robyn Brown-Hewitt, Dalhousie Multifaith Services United Church of Canada Campus Minister (United at Dalhousie) discusses what "Affirming" means on their large, secular university campus. "Naming is one thing, doing is another," she told us.

✨☕Brew a cup of tea or pour a glass of your favourite drink, and snuggle in with a good book. Oh, and you can discuss the book with at least two friends—The Right Rev. Dr. Carmen Lansdowne, Moderator of The United Church of Canada, and her guest—in one of Canada’s biggest book clubs.

Starting September 21, 2023, and ending in June 2025, these (mostly) monthly book club sessions will feature fiction, non-fiction and poetry written by (mostly) Canadian authors. Through a lens of flourishing, the books explore:

-Dreaming, utopias and dystopias
-The environment and resource extraction
-Urban/rural difference of experience
-Reconciliation
-Poverty
-The Theology of The United Church of Canada

There will be bold ideas. There will be daring connections. There will be content you can dig your teeth into. And guaranteed, there will be laughter because the Mod is like that.
