SUMMARY:Nice Racism?
DESCRIPTION:CCS joins again in celebrating Black History Month. But we cannot celebrate without also lamenting that in their amazing journey of courage\, legacy\, and contribution\, oppression and microaggressions are still happening today. With the celebration\, we join in naming the systemic and mostly inadvertent ways we participate\, despite our good intentions. \nYou are invited to join us on February 20 (5pm Central\, 6pm Eastern\, 4pm Mountain\, 3pm Pacific\, 7pm Atlantic) for an online conversation based on Robin DiAngelo’s book Nice Racism: How Progressive White People Perpetuate Racial Harm (Beacon Press\, 2021). This is a thought-provoking and challenging book that CCS students wrestled with as part of the recent Power & Privilege learning circle We will introduce some of the key concepts and invite students to share some of their reflections and learnings\, before engaging participants in conversation about their experiences with “nice racism”. \nLamentation without self-examination and systemic examination\, or reflection without a commitment to become allies in addressing and interrupting racism\, will not lead to transformation. We will encourage participants to think about how to continue with mutual commitment and deep analysis. \nThis online event is free. Please register to receive a link.

SUMMARY:Diaconal Open House for DLMs
DESCRIPTION:As you may know\, Designated Lay Ministers (DLM) in the United Church who have served 5 years are being asked to discern their call to ordered ministry – ordained or diaconal. To assist DLMs with their discernment\, the Centre for Christian Studies is hosting an online open house/conversation on Diaconal Ministry and diaconal calling. \nMonday\, February 12 (4pm Pacific\, 5pm Mountain\, 6pm Central\, 7pm Easter\, 8pm Atlantic). \nThis hour and a half session is hosted by CCS (one of the UCC theological schools specializing in diaconal formation) with involvement from DUCC (Diakonia of the United Church of Canada). It will include an introduction to “diaconal call”\, some myths and misconceptions about Diaconal Ministry\, some information about diaconal community (in the United Church\, in Canada\, and globally)\, and some suggestions of continuing education to deepen one’s understanding and connection to diaconal perspectives. There will be time for questions from DLMs and time for small group conversations with diaconal folks. (This session probably shouldn’t replace sitting down for an extended conversation with a Diaconal Minister about their understanding of diaconal identity\, but it will be a good start to making connections.) \nThis event is free.

SUMMARY:CCS Friday - Addiction and Faith
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Friday\, March 31\, 2023 at noon (Winnipeg time) for an online discussion of addiction ministry. Our special guest will be Ed Treat from the Centre of Addiction and Faith. Ed believes churches are poised to make a dent in the opioid crisis because they have locations in tiny rural communities that may not have other local supports like a doctor or social worker available in town.  He’ll help us explore the scope for developing an addiction ministry team that takes actions such as providing resources on addiction in libraries\, getting narcan training\, and training people to support those living with or recovering from addiction.  We’ll have a chance to explore addiction and recovery in a Biblical text.   \nThe Centre of Addiction and Faith is committed to helping ministers and leaders learn how faith communities can better understand addiction\, and to better address the spiritual needs of those afflicted. There are so many who need spiritual care\, and faith communities can do so much more to help. \nCCS Fridays events are free. Please register to receive a link. \nCCS Fridays:\nOnline conversations to help us all to respond faithfully to emerging issues in local contexts.  These workshops are open to anyone who might be interested. Each session will be on a Friday from 12:00 to 1:00 (Winnipeg time) and in the form of a Zoom workshop.  There will be a presentation that will be recorded for future viewing\, plus opportunities to engage with the ideas in small groups.
