Oftentimes hilarious, the weekend of Friday May 5 – 7 saw STJ learn from Archdeacon John Robertson and Lorna Somers of McMaster University on how mission and voluntarism fit into financial stewardship. Many new initiatives no doubt will be forthcoming - I had no idea that the Anglican Church has in place many financial options such as an annuity plan with tax benefits.

Some of the participants are featured above: Nancy Oke, Jamie Lawson, Doug Adderley, Rev Karen Fast, Ted Semmens, Jim Harlick, Rev Harold Munn, Guest, Ann Machin, Lorna Somers of McMaster University, Archdeacon John Robertson from the Financial development office, Alex Burton, Andree Burton, Bea Holland
