The recent confirmation in Kamloops and the attack in London ON have been devastating reminders that widening the scope of love and justice is as urgent as ever. MV 79, VU 606.

Focusing on some of the stories from the Early Church, this series will explore what they have to teach us about what it means to be a community of faith.
