We are excited to invite you join Dr. James Robertson and friends to learn more about Overlooked: The Forgotten Origin Stories of Canadian Christianity
Tuesday January 23rd, 7:00pm-9:00pm
University of Guelph
Cost: $15
“An honest assessment
of the spiritual ground we inhabit begins by acknowledging the criticisms many Canadians have about the church are valid…when it comes to the struggles of declining Christianity, Canada has been here before.”
James Tyler Robertson
Assistant Professor of Christian History, Tyndale University
This presentation explains the course of churches in Canada that led to the realities of this present age.
In 5 acts, James Tyler Robertson will explore the most important elements of Canadian religious life that most of us have overlooked.
We will lay bare the funny, tragic, poignant, diabolical, beautiful, dramatic and-above all else-unique stories that created the place known as Canada.
We dive into the role the church played in shaping the nation for good and for ill.
Beginning in the early days of this land this presentation will seek to answer one question: What is the Gospel?
Actually, it will seek to answer an even deeper question: What is the Gospel in Canada?
Join us for an engaging presentation, thoughtful conversation and light refreshments as we dive into 5 strange stories that have defined us all and that many of us have OVERLOOKED.
