Dear Community Partners and Colleagues,

Currently, Toronto and the GTA is experiencing unprecedented gun and gang violence. The
Canadian Multifaith Federation (CMF) is organizing a forum, “Guns, Gangs and Violence
– a Faithful Response”, to bring together faith group leaders, government officials and
politicians, to explore the role that faith groups can play along with service providers in
addressing this critical public safety issue.

Join us on September 8, 2018 from 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM for “Opening your Doors” an official Pathways to Parliament of World Religions 2018 Pre-Parliament Event at OCAD University.

A FREE multi-faith seminar for people with disabilities and family members, clergy, and self-advocates who are dedicated to creating inclusive faith communities.

We are faculty members at the School of Religion at Queen’s University undertaking a study on Threshold Concepts in the Academic Study of Religion. Threshold Concepts are also known as “troublesome” or “irreversible” ideas. They come into play in learning critical to the formation of scholarly identity within any given discipline. Although much work has been done on Threshold Concepts in many disciplines, this is not the case for Religious Studies.

My name is Jeremy Cohen and I am contacting you on behalf of the organizing committee for the Re-Storying Canada conference, professors Emma Anderson (University of Ottawa), Hillary Kaell (Concordia) and Pamela Klassen (Toronto). Re-Storying Canada: Religion and Public Memory in 2017 was a three-day interdisciplinary conference and art event held at the University of Ottawa in May 2017. Funded by SSHRC and the Ministry of Heritage, it brought together artists, curators, novelists, and scholars from across the country.
