Burns Bog Pilgrimage April 25 Burns Bog is a very important place. Sometimes called the “lungs of the Lower Mainland”, not only does the bog sequester carbon emissions that cause climate destabilization but the bog cleans our air and water, provides habitat for many species, and plays an integral role in our local ecosystem. Sacred Earth Day Celebration April 20 The Multifaith Action Society, hosted a packed church for this first-time ever sacred celebration presided over by leaders from different faiths dedicated to addressing the present ecological crisis. The progressive faith leaders that will take active roles in this service are: Rev. Bruce Sanguin, of Canadian Memorial United and author of Darwin, Divinity & Dance of the Cosmos; Rabbi Laura Duhan Kaplan of Or Shalom Synagogue; Imam Al-Khaliq of Az-Zahraa Shia Muslim Association of BC; Acharya Shrinath Dwivedi of the Global Hindu Foundation; and Aline LaFlamme, Metis Pipe Carrier & Sundancer. Multifaith Social May 16 2010 This was a great opportunity to meet and greet our brothers and sisters in various faith communities. Hosted by the GURU NANAK SIKH GURDWARA in Surrey, there was fabulous food and a very real delight by those that attended in spending social time with those from other faith communities. |
