The Session of Grace invites you to join a time of listening about the human-sexuality related remits approved by the General Assembly in 2021. (Please see the link from the Presbyterian Church in Canada here for information about the remits.) We look forward to hearing your perspectives as the Session discerns at a future Session meeting which definition of marriage to use in deciding who may be married at Grace Church and whether to support the ordination of LGBTQI Elders.

WHAT: An opportunity to share your perspectives. Care will be taken to create a sufficiently safe space for participants to be heard with respect and grace. The Session Elders will listen while attendees have turns speaking. There will be no debate, vote or decision at this listening time.

WHEN: Sunday, January 23, 2022 at 1:00 pm

WHERE: Online via Zoom. *This is now taking place only on Zoom due to pandemic conditions in Calgary.

FACILITATOR: The Rev. Ian Ross-McDonald, General Secretary, Life and Mission Agency of The Presbyterian Church in Canada

REGISTRATION: Registration is now closed. Please contact organizer Cindy Stephenson at cindys@gracecalgary.org if you would like to attend. *This is now taking place only on Zoom due to pandemic conditions in Calgary.

Please note that attendees will be provided with an overview of the relevant decisions of the General Assembly and some of the potential implications and will have the opportunity to ask questions for factual or doctrinal clarity before providing input.
