The Anglican Consultative Council has a number of networks one of which is the International Anglican Women's Network. It operates on three levels, one with a Steering Group from 8 geographic areas, another with one Link woman from each of the 38 ecclesiastical provinces appointed by her Primate, and a few units operating nationally to support this work. In
Canada we have all three which is very unique. Canon Alice Medcof serves on the Steering Group, Elizabeth Loweth is the appointed Link for Canada and also serves as the coordinator for the unit operating here.
The focal points for the IAWN-Canada include the Millennium Development Goals, the UN Commission on the Status of Women, and the Anglican Consultative Council resolution 13/31 seeking gender equality in policy making within the Anglican Communion.
The annual meeting for the IAWN-Canada will be held Monday, Nov. 5, at the national office 80 Hayden St. in the board room from 11 to 1. It should be a great opportunity for students and faculty to hear about the work of this network and to talk with some of the bishops and national staff who will meet with us.
No registration is needed, but it would help to know how many are coming so we can plan refreshments. Please come and if you are able to phone ahead of time, call:
Laura Wilson - 416 487 0250
or
Elizabeth Loweth - 905 883 8197

Synopsis teaser from their website http://www.elizabeththegoldenage.net/
"Elizabeth: The Golden Age finds Queen Elizabeth I (Cate Blanchett) facing
bloodlust for her throne and familial betrayal. Growing keenly aware of the
changing religious and political tides of the late 16th century Europe,
Elizabeth finds her rule openly challenged by the Spanish King Philip II
with his powerful army and sea-dominating armada determined to restore
England to Catholicism."
We wish you all a safe, restful, and rejuvenating time during reading week next week... and maybe even give you time to finish all that reading!

harmony."

World Council of Churches Essay Contest
ON TURNING 60, WCC INVITES NEW PERSPECTIVES ON THE FUTURE OF THE ECUMENICAL MOVEMENT
Students of theology and young theologians are being invited by the World Council of Churches (WCC) to bring new perspectives and contributions to the debate about the future of the ecumenical movement by participating in an essay competition to mark the Council's 60th anniversary.
Participants in the contest, both clergy and lay persons, are invited to address the theme “Making a Difference Together – Prospects for Ecumenism in the 21st Century”. The WCC expects to receive a significant number of quality essays reflecting on the theme from different church traditions, contexts and perspectives. The best six essays will be presented by their authors at an international consultation on the same theme to be held in Bossey, Switzerland, in late 2008. Other selected essays will be published by the WCC.
“There can be nothing better than fresh eyes when it comes to looking to the future,” says WCC general secretary Rev. Dr Samuel Kobia, commenting on the contest. “We hope young theologians and theology students from all over the world will grab this opportunity to bring some new, challenging perspectives to the attention of leading figures within the ecumenical movement,” he adds.
Essays should be written in English. However, they will be judged for the quality of their contribution and not their English language proficiency. With a length of between 5000 and 6000 words, the essays should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere. More details and a number of resource documents are available on the WCC website. The deadline is 28 February 2008.
The contest is part of the programme to commemorate the Council’s 60th anniversary in 2008. It will include a celebration at the 13-20 February 2008 meeting of the WCC central committee and the promotion of local celebrations through visits to member churches. Resources for common prayer, Bible study and celebration will be made available to congregations and groups on the WCC website in early 2008.
Formally inaugurated in Amsterdam in 1948, the World Council of Churches has been the churches’ primary instrument to promote the search for Christian unity and to foster common witness and service for sixty years. The Council enters the year of its 60th anniversary with a membership of 347 churches in more than 110 countries and territories. It represents some 560 million Christians.
