Do you ever feel like you dont quite fit in? Too nerdy for activism, too queer for church, or too spiritual for academia? Join a batch of other misfits who are cooking up a storm in Gods kitchen where theres space for all of us critical thinkers, inspired makers, passionate dreamers, grumpy prophets and more!
We will be at St Andrew-by-the-Lake, an Anglican church. It is wheelchair accessible. We will meet at 9am at the Jack Layton Ferry Terminal to cross to Toronto Island, beginning our program at 10am.
The Student Christian Movement is an ecumenical, anti-racist, queer-affirming, and feminist organization.
MORNING
Stations of the cook - we'll be taking turns on various hands-on activities, engaging in great conversation, praying, creating and crafting and incidentally producing our lunch. Dr. Bob Phillips, Mi'kmaq elder and educator, will be joining us.
AFTERNOON
Participate in workshops by Teddy Syrette, an LGBTQ-Indigenous educator of Batchewana First Nation, and Christian Peacemaker Teams as we explore issues of violence and injustice, and how we can respond using active nonviolence. Explore deeper issues of oppression and marginalization. How do these powers that be function to preserve unjust social orders and oppressive economic systems? And what will we do about it?
COST
Thanks to the generosity of the SCM Toronto board, the ticket price has been reduced to $25! Financial support is also available for anyone for whom cost is a barrier - contact esther@scmcanada.org.
