Nicaragua Youth Study Tour

Are you between the ages of 18 and 25? Are you passionate about ending hunger around the world? Are you interested in putting your faith into action? Do you want to learn more about the causes of hunger and poverty? Do you want to meet people who are working for a better future?

“It’s easy to change the world”.

“It’s easy to change the world”, Bethany Hartropp, volunteer Youth leader at St. Mary’s, Kirkland, states with great emphasis. The youth group at the parish is leading the way, giving others the chance to change the world - one bottle drive, one food drive, one benefit concert at a time. “It’s easy, anyone can do it!”

An Open Letter

By Aaron Emery

An open letter to St. James Cathedral
The Very Reverend Douglas A Stoute
(Dean of Toronto & Rector of St. James Cathedral)

I write you in earnest tonight as a Torontonian. As an Anglican. As a Christian.

I write you with surplus hope, firm conviction, and limited answers. I invite you to share this space with me—by sharing your space with others.

A world where, when the call goes out, people respond.”

Me To We

Living in a world that has been plagued with global tragedy and turmoil can not be easily ignored. If you were looking to shun away the world, we would ask you to turn off your television, avoid news stands and log off social media websites. Disconnecting from the many outlets that keep us globally informed is definitely not easy, and because of it’s obvious in an in-your-face-manor, it should not be ignored...

12 for 12

At the 2010 CLAY (Canadian Lutheran Anglican Gathering) in London, a challenge was issued to the Lutheran and
Anglican youth to donate money equivalent to the development of 12 communities by the Saskatoon youth gathering
in 2012. That means that together we could go “12 for 12” by raising a total of $60,000.

By Brianna Locke

“When you pray: move your feet”
African Proverb

If “normal” internships imply that you zip around the office delivering coffee orders for your superiors and removing staples from old documents, then perhaps I’ve stumbled into Bizarro Internship World where your boss takes you for coffee and my work space is littered with paperclips to avoid any unnecessary office accidents.

Changing the World One Intern at a Time

By Danielle Morton
justgeneration.ca Intern

In about January of this year I discovered that I maybe wasn’t as happy at University as I thought I was.

PWRDF – Changing Lives... One Placemat at a Time!

By Gillian Hoyer
Youth Council Representative for BC/Yukon

When I tell people that I am on PWRDF's Youth Council, the first predictable response is "What is PWRDF?" After explaining it as the Primate’s World Relief and Development Fund, the relief, development, and social justice arm of the Anglican Church of Canada (pwrdf.org), the next question asked is usually about monkeys.

All joking aside, I am delighted to be a part of the Youth Council because I believe strongly in the work that PWRDF does and I want every Canadian Anglican (or really just every Canadian) to know about it and understand the importance of their individual and church's support.
