Good day!

Also on Thursday, at Algoma University (Rm.205 East Wing of Shingwauk Hall – the main building) is the Healing and Reconciliation Through Education Community Dialogue. 12 – 2 pm. This includes lunch and a tour of the Reclaiming Shingwauk Hall exhibition – I highly recommend it (I’ll be there!)

For Your Devotions:
Tuesday, September 25th is the commemoration of Sergius, Abbot of Holy Trinity, Moscow, and Spiritual Teacher, who died in 1392. At a young age, Sergius and his brother decided to become hermits living in the Russian forest. However, in a time when Christians in Russia were disheartened and confused, news of their wisdom, gentleness, compassion, and spirituality spread and they soon had a monastery forming around them. Sergius was instrumental in the eventual formation of an independent Russia. To find out more: http://justus.anglican.org/resources/bio/251.html
Wednesday, September 26th is the commemoration of Lancelot Andrewes, Bishop of Winchester, who died in 1626 (I love his name – reminds me of Sir Lancelot of Arthurian legend). Andrewes is one of the greatest Anglican scholars – he knew 15 languages and contributed greatly to the King James Version of the Bible.
