    Episode 6: The End of Charitable Food
    2021/12/06
    "I want you churches," the city councillor declared, "to put us on notice that you’re not going to offer charitable food anymore.” For many in the room, this challenge was a shock to the system. But for those of us rethinking the food ministries at Vancouver's Christ Church Cathedral, it added much-needed fuel to the fire. This was the kind of change we were seeking to bring about, we didn't yet know how to get there. In this episode, Andrew Stephens-Rennie reflects on the process of transformation that started to lead the Cathedral's food ministries beyond charity towards justice.

  • Episode 5: Operationalizing Homefulness - Creating a Culture of Neighbourliness

    Episode 5: Operationalizing Homefulness - Creating a Culture of Neighbourliness
    2021/11/08
    At a neighbourhood meeting, local churches are asked what they're doing about increasing homelessness in their neighbourhood. The short answer: not much. That provocative question got members of Vancouver's Grandview Church thinking—and acting—in response to the needs in the community surrounding their church building. Years later, after a variety of experiments in housing and economic development, Co:Here was born. In this episode we hear from Jeanette Moss, Director of Strategy and Development for the Salsbury Community Society. A lot has happened to transform a former church parking lot into a brave community space. Jeanette takes us on an inspirational journey, and challenges faith communities everywhere to engage in coordinated responses to the needs around us.

  • Episode 4: Homelessness and Homefulness in the LGBTQ+ Community

    Episode 4: Homelessness and Homefulness in the LGBTQ+ Community
    2021/11/01
    “I have heard endless stories of queer folks who tell me that when they came out, they lost their church home…which in some cases will lead to losing housing if it was attached to their church community or support system,” shares Becca Sawyer, a 2SLGBTQ+ community builder, facilitator, speaker, and future psychotherapist. Through story and statistics, Becca explores the high rates of homelessness in the queer community, and aspects of such homelessness, all. the while pointing forward in hope. In this episode, Becca wonders how we might work together to create safe and supportive spaces where the gifts of queer people are recognized and celebrated. Our response to that question, in relationship with the queer community, could literally save lives. This is Becca’s presentation from the Beyond Housing to Homefulness Symposium co-hosted by Empire Remixed and the Sorrento Centre in Spring 2021. She was speaking to us from the traditional territory of the Huron Wendat, the Anishnabeg, the Haudenosaunee, and the Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nations, in the city now known as Toronto, which is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples.
