Despite our recent doctrinal shift, many evangelical / orthodox / traditional believers within the PCC remain called to the places where we currently worship and serve.
We may feel isolated and discouraged, but we are not alone. We can be stronger and better equipped to carry out our calls when we get together. Join with other kindred souls who adhere to our unchanging Lord and Saviour.
We’ll hear words of encouragement from Rev. Dr. Kevin Livingston, associate professor at Tyndale University and minister at Clairlea Park Presbyterian Church in Toronto, Ontario.
Start time: 12:30 p.m. Newfoundland, 12 Noon Atlantic, 11 a.m. Eastern, 10 a.m. Central, 9 a.m. Mountain and 8 a.m. Pacific.

No Middle Ground
A recent survey from Renewal Fellowship asked readers where their minds were at four months after the historic change in doctrine of the Presbyterian Church in Canada (PCC). It was hardly a scientific survey, but the responses mirrored what we’ve been hearing in conversations: In general, “We are staying in the PCC for now, while … Read more

Prayer and Care
Renewal Fellowship refocuses in the wake of change. Now what? That was the question on many minds after The Presbyterian Church in Canada turned from scriptural orthodoxy in June 2021 when General Assembly approved parallel definitions of marriage and formally allowed those who practice a non-Biblical sexual partnership to be ordained as ministers and elders … Read more
Chafed by Safe
Mis-speaking seems to be almost as endemic in Western society as the COVID virus. Retractions, corrections, additional information and apologies [both abject and ambivalent] are common occurrences in the public sphere. One form of mis-speaking that rarely gets emended is incorrect use of the English language. One misuse in particular has drawn my attention, reflection … Read more
Drawing Guidance From Nature
Lessons from Squirrel Land. Picture a collection of old trees, filled with squirrels darting up and down the trunks and back and forth across the branches. They are frenetically active. Two squirrels are chasing one other with a walnut in its mouth. Theft? Covetousness? Fun and games? Squirrels just do what they are wired to … Read more
Living Hope: November 13, 2021
Online Day of Enouragement and Renewal. Approximately 100 people participated in our day of encouragement and renewal. This in itself was encouraging!

The original plan was to meet in person and include online … Read more
