The Gospel, Ecumenism and Theology Committee is involved with educating and challenging presbyters and the people of our pastoral charges to reflect upon, and faithfully proclaim, the Gospel of Jesus Christ with theological integrity. It is further called to nurture respectful relationships with people of other faiths and all people of good will.
The Gospel, Ecumenism and Theology Team is mandated to
-
Encourage the Presbytery and its Congregations in their commitments to the Gospel of Jesus Christ;
-
Encourage active and informed participation in dialogue with persons and groups seeking the well-being of creation; and,
-
Encourage disciplined theological reflection by which a clear course of faithful action may be determined.
To accomplish this mandate the Gospel, Ecumenism and Theology Team membership will be made up of persons willing to gather on a regular basis (quarterly minimum) for prayer, study and companionship. This disciplined practice will provide a core competency by which the whole of the Presbytery and its Congregations may be encouraged for faithful public witness.
The work of the Gospel, Ecumenism and Theology Team will be informed by creative local study initiatives, United Church of Canada study initiatives and documents, and diverse resources gathered from our ecumenical relationships and partnerships.
The Gospel, Ecumenism and Theology Team relates to the corresponding committee of the Maritime Conference.
