Tuesdays – Another World Cafe: Student Christian Movement online gatherings
6:30 pm, https://www.facebook.com/events/1184408545263575/
“Another world is possible!”, goes a common protest chant. Another World Cafe is our weekly space for renovating our worldviews and stirring up our imaginations. Programming will rotate between our traditional Radical Bible Study, conversations about deep ecology and eco-grief, and hands-on zine-making sessions. Please bring your favourite hot drink, and a notebook or sketchbook.
Thurs, Nov 12 – Reading Scripture in Community, 4:30 – 5:30 pm, online
Join other students to investigate reconciliation in Christian, Jewish and Muslim faiths. The academic practice of Scriptural Reasoning is used to enhance understanding rather than agreement. The result is often a deeper appreciation of others’ and your own scriptures and friendship across faith communities. Register: https://clnx.utoronto.ca/home/slevents.htm?eventId=27680
Tues, Nov 17- Grief Support Sharing Circle, 3:15 – 5 pm, online

Participate in an informal, facilitated mutual support group for students who have experienced a death, as well as students experiencing anticipatory grief. Facilitators: Laurie Coleman, Wellness Counsellor and Co-ordinator, Health and Wellness and Jeanette Unger, Chaplain, Ecumenical Chaplaincy at U of T. Please register at: student.minister@utoronto.ca
