The Canadian Theological Students' Association present...
Agendas
There are two conferences:
The Churches’ Council on Theological Education Conference May 16–18, includes keynote addresses, smaller group workshops, worship and artistic expression as well as learning in the community to enrich our experience together. Participants from a wide range of interest in theological education further enrich our learning together.
The Canadian Theological Students’ Conference, May 14–20, has always sought to bring our theological reflection out of experiential learning in the location of the conference. In addition to the content of the CCTE conference student participants will travel to the Dr. Jessie Saulteaux Centre and have opportunity to be involved in local faith communities and programs. This year, participants may also register to take the conference for credit through the Faculty of Theology at the University of Winnipeg.
