Christ Church Cathedral and St. Paul’s Anglican Church in Vancouver’s West End are holding a community forum this Sunday (Jun. 26) from 12:30 to 2:30pm at the Cathedral.

The forum will provide an opportunity for Vancouver residents to meet and debrief following the Stanley Cup riots last Wed. After opening presentations from city representatives, there will be time for facilitated small-group conversation and reflection. Then a plenary discussion will tackle next steps. There will also be time for reflection and prayer.

The organizers have personally invited the leaders and congregations of all the downtown churches to participate in this ecumenical event.

For further information, contact the Very Reverend Peter Elliott, Cathedral Dean, or call 604-682-3848 extension 29.
