We were pleased on Oct. 9 to welcome Susan Ferguson as our guest speaker with a focus on the Mission and Service Fund.  Susan  and her husband Chris were appointed in 2004 as overseas personnel to serve with the World Council of Churches (WCC), based in Jerusalem.  Susan was assigned primarily to the Ecumenical Accompaniment Programme in Palestine and Israel (EAPPI), a WCC initiative to support efforts to end the occupation of the Palestinian Territories and support a just peace in the Middle East.

On Sunday June 14th  you are invited to a conversation with Mike Karikpo from Oil Watch - Africa. Mike is an ecumenical partner of KAIROS and has recently accompanied church leaders on their trip to the Alberta tarsands.  Mike also comes from the same village in Nigeria as Bari-adoora Wiwa and is a member of the Ogoni people. Please join us in a conversation about oil exploitation both in Canada's north , in Africa, and globally.
