Remit

Our Words of Faith: Cherished, Honoured and Living

This is the study document for a Remit from the 40th General Council. The Remit will be before the Presbyteries and Pastoral Charges in Jan. 2012 and it asks us to renew our self-understanding as a Reformed community of faith. It tests our willingness to adopt into the Basis of Union the "1940 Statement of Faith," “A New Creed” and “A Song of Faith.” Oxford Presbytery will be creating a “Facilitated Learning Circle” in order to give all Presbyters an opportunity to study this remit proposal with the leadership of Michael Bourgeois, professor of theology at Emmanuel College and chair of the Theology and Faith Committee of the United Church during the preparation of "A Song of Faith." The circle is open to all. The “Learning Circle” will meet during the month of May 2011. The ‘kick off' day is Sat. April 30th, 10 am to 3 pm with Michael, then further gatherings or “on line” community discussions during May and a wind up session June 4th 10am to lunch “on line” with Michael.

To Study this Remit the School has set-up a learning circle, starting April 30th., click below for more details.
