HERALDCHRIST CHURCH DEER PARK, TORONTO, CANADA VOLUME 40, NUMBER 3
And it came to pass, on a fine Saturday in May, that a small, dedicated crew of parishioners gathered together
to tackle the spring cleaning of our grounds... at least one (almost) got ‘carried away’. Can you guess who?
Dear friends,
I RECENTLY ATTENDED the Diocesan Clergy Conference at Brock University in St.
Catharines. The speaker this year was Stephen Cottrell, Bishop of Chelmsford in
the Church of England. Bishop Cottrell spoke about the importance of evangelism
for the future of the Church. Many of us shy away from evangelism because it is
often tied to a particular theological viewpoint. But the word ‘evangelism’ simply
means, ‘good news’. And if we believe that there is some good news about our
faith, then we will want to tell others about it; we will want to be evangelists.
Based on the familiar Easter story of the Road to Emmaus (Luke 24:13-35),
Bishop Cottrell spoke about a form of evangelism that might suit Anglicans.
Unlike the great drama of Paul’s encounter on the Road to Damascus (Acts 9),
the Road to Emmaus story is rather ordinary. The risen Christ comes alongside the
disciples who are walking away from Jerusalem toward Emmaus, and instead of
telling them who he is and that he has been raised from the dead, Jesus asks them
a question: “What are you talking about?” He listens to them, and then joins their
conversation. There is no coercion; he joins them for dinner only when they invite
him, and because they have presumably enjoyed the conversation they’ve had with
him on the road. And when he sits down with them for a meal and breaks bread
with them, their eyes are opened, and they recognize him.
What conclusions might we draw from this story as we seek to share our faith with
others? Well, we meet people where they are, not where we want them or expect
them to be; we listen to others before we speak; we seek out conversations with
those who may have been on very different paths than our own; we build a place
of nurture in our own community; we live and share what we have already
received.’
Many churches have experimented with ‘Back to Church Sundays’ or ‘Bring a
Friend to Church Sundays’. But in my experience, most of those who make their
way into a community of faith do so because they encounter a group of people
who are open-minded, and on a journey of discovery themselves, and are interested
in others, and who are authentically living out their faith in daily life. Thatís the
kind of evangelism I can get behind.

Happy Summer PromiseLand!
WHAT A FUN AND EXCITING Eastertide we’ve had!
We started off with the ìMary Mix-Upî and explored the
3 prominent Marys in the life of Jesus. We used objects to
journey with Mary Magdalene, made beautifully scented
soap mirroring how Mary of Bethany anointed Jesus’ feet
with perfume, and looked at icons and African artwork
depicting Mary and the Holy Family. All three of these
women had fascinating relationships with Jesus, but so
often are confused, even blended together. We read a lot of
the Biblical accounts, and thought a lot about who these
women were, and what roles they played in the Gospel
story. We also had some good fun, especially making the
soap! After it cooled and hardened, we wrapped it up and
gave it to our moms for Mother’s Day. We hope they enjoy
using it as much as we enjoyed making it
We then focused on the disciples, and their reactions and
encounters with the Risen Christ. We played trust games
including a blindfolded obstacle course, made edible “nets
of fish” and went fishing with celery sticks, wow butter and
goldfish crackers! All of this learning prepared us for
Pentecost and to celebrate the
coming down of the Holy Spirit.
We had a fantastic “Everybody
Upstairs” Sunday on June 8th
with our teens and kids taking
leadership roles in many
elements of the Sunday Liturgy.
From the enthusiastic greeting to the relevant and timely
prayers, the spirit was among us indeed!
Starting next Sunday June 29th is our Summer Kid’s
Programme. Every Sunday in July and August, a parent
volunteer will welcome children to the St. Nicholas Chapel
to make crafts, read Biblical stories & play games together.
Thank you so much to our wonderful parent volunteers for
their commitment and enthusiasm!
PromiseLand resumes on Sunday September 7th
This Summer, we are also proud to present VACATION
BIBLE CAMP! Join us as we journey with Moses and the
12 tribes of Israel for an adventure-filled wilderness
experience! We will cross the Red Sea, eat delicious
manna, sing songs of praise and learn about the Israelitesí
incredible journey to the Promised Land.
VBC runs from August 25 to 29th 2014, 9:30am to
12:30pm. Camp costs $75 per camper; $50 for each
additional kid in a family. Know someone who might be
interested in coming? Please pass along the info - the more
the merrier!!
Register now at

Young
Anglican
Leaders!
OUR YOUNG ANGLICAN LEADERS have had a busy and fun
spring! In May we hosted a Bake Sale fundraiser in
support of Jordan Wilkinsonís volunteer service trip to
Kenya. We had an enthusiastic
team of bakers and sellers, and
together we raised $589! Jordan
will spend 3 weeks in July in the
Maasai Mara region of Kenya
helping to build a school, par-
ticipating in hands-on work-
shops and learning about poverty-related issues in Africa.
We wish her a meaningful and safe trip, and can’t wait to
hear all about it when she gets back!!

Father’s Day
(Albeit a tad late, but well worth the recognition).
Father’s Day celebration came into being due to the efforts
of an American, Mrs. Sonora Smart Dodd, who was so
touched, after listening to a ‘Mother’s Day’ sermon, and
realizing the greatness of her father as well as her mother,
decided that she had to do something to show her father,
how much he was appreciated. Realizing the love, sacrifices
and strength that her father showed, Mrs. Dodd, vowed to
have a special day dedicated to her father Mr. William
Jackson Smart, a civil war veteran, who as a single parent
raised her and her siblings after the death of their mother.
Her idea gained some attention, and in 1924 President
Calvin Coolidge recommended that the third Sunday in
June, be set aside as a National Holiday to celebrate all
fathers. Finally, after years of much discussion and debate,
Father’s Day became an official National Holiday due to a
proclamation in 1972 by President Richard Nixon.
Fatherís Day is an opportunity for fathers to bond with
their children and for them to realize more fully the impact
of their parental responsibilities. It is a day to honour our
fathers for being ‘Providers and Leaders both spiritual and
moral’. It is a day to express our thanks to our Unsung
Heroes. Father’s Day affords us the opportunity and
occasion to express our gratitude and thankfulness to our
fathers/dads all over the world. It is a day to make us aware
of the roles fathers play in nurturing their children to grow
to be responsible citizens and to help in the building of a
better and stronger Society.
It is a day that Fathers are given a little extra attention for
trying to be so invincible and strong, and for holding back
the tears when they should allow them to flow. It is a day
to show Fathers how wonderful they are. Our genuine
expression of love to our father on ‘Father’s Day’ touches
not only his ‘Heart but his Soul’.
White and Red Roses are the official flowers to recognize
fathers. The White Rose is to remember those who have
passed on, and the Red Rose is to celebrate our joy for
those who are still present in our lives.
CONGRATULATIONS and HAPPY FATHER’S DAY. Wishing
you many blessings and may you be surrounded with
much love on this, your special day.

YAL also had a super fun joint social with the youth group
of St. John York Mills. We drew creative portraits, had
freezies and played a lively game of water balloon Capture
the Flag! It was a perfect day for a water game - although
most of us did end up quite soaked! We can’t wait to hang
out again and are planning on hosting them at CCDP in
the fall.
To celebrate the end of
school, YAL participated in
the York-Scarborough
Summer Park Party! We
joined youth from across
Toronto on June 21st for an
afternoon of fun in the sun at York Mills Park. We had an
egg and spoon race, a water balloon toss, frozen treats, and
even built an outdoor labyrinth together. It was so fun,
and we hope to do more joint events in the coming
months!
Looking ahead to the fall, our Diocesan Youth Retreat is
on October 3rd to 5th at Camp Medeba, near Muskoka.
The theme is, “Survival Guide to the End of the World...
Jesus, Zombies and The Hunger Games”. It’s going to be
amazing with apocalyptic discussions, .archery, canoeing
and much more! Register now on our website’s youth page,
or speak to me.
I hope you have fantastic summers at camp, traveling or
just relaxing and I’m looking forward to seeing you all
again in September. Our first “Snacks & Scripture” (a new
weekly youth programme that will use Lectio Divina to
help us enter into the scriptures and our relationship with
God) will be on Sunday September 7th
Summer blessings to you all!

Director of Children and Youth Ministery
...more YAL
As a theological student, I am
given the unique opportunity of
choosing a parish to serve in and
learn from, as a part of my training
for future ministry. In a diocese as
large and impressive as Toronto,
with so many wonderful parishes,
the task of choosing one was
daunting. However, after spending
a wonderful year at Church of the Transfiguration with
Fr. David Giffen, Christ Church Deer Park came highly
recommended. I could not be more thrilled to be a part
of this parish, and to have the opportunity to serve under
the gifted leadership of the Rev’d. Canon Kevin Robertson.
I have been blessed by radical hospitality of this faith
community, and I have experienced first-hand the out-
working of a deep love one for another. I look forward to
meeting each of you, and getting to know you personally.
Look forward with excitement for the days to come,
because the Spirit is moving at Christ Church Deer Park
as we work together with our eyes fixed on Christ!

CHRIST CHURCH DEER PARK SUMMER 2014
Phil weighs in... Behind the scenes...
This building that is Christ Church Deer Park is a beehive
of activity... seven days a week and on many evenings as
well.
First and foremost, of course, is the work of the church...
the Services, (the clergy), the Choir, the Chancel Guild and
flower arrangers, and the ACW (Anglican Church Workers)
with their rummage sale and Christmas Fair preparations
(on-going, all year). Occasionally there are also weddings
and funerals, special study groups (especially during Lent
and Advent), the Nursery, PromiseLand and YAL events as
well as social gatherings (the annual Pancake Supper comes
to mind).
Desirous of a friendly game of Bridge?... come by any
Tuesday afternoon. Love to knit? The Knitting Circle meets
every other Wednesday for quiet contemplation and the joy
of knitting (you can pick up some tips too).
There’s usually something interesting in The Gallery (in the
Arthur Smith Room)... you might just find the perfect
piece to fill that blank wall.
The Community Breakfast, every other Saturday, is a great
opportunity to get involvd in Outreach.
And there’s music... lots of music!
All five choirs of the Toronto Children’s Chorus practice
here. As do the Toronto Classical Singers, who also hold
their concerts here. The Toronto Flute School holds
ensemble and masterclasses, workshops and concerts here.
Because of our chancel’s wonderful acoustics, the Brahms
Trio and the Canadian Brass record here, to mention a few.
The Oriole Nursery School calls CCDP home and, of late,
Yoga classes are offered three days a week.
We are also home to many self-help groups...
Several AA groups hold meetings and book studies here.
We are also home to OA (Overeaters Anonymous), UA
(Underearners Anonymous) and Phoenix (a CA group).
... I may have missed a few, but we certainly can truly say,
Phil with his sons, Mylo (3.5) and Dexter (2.5) “ ...and
they're definitely a handful... Haha... But also a ton of fun!”

Social Matters
COLLAPSE - OR GREENING?
READING GEORGE MONBIOT’S GUARDIAN ARTICLE,”The
impossibility of growth”, I was alarmed. Global economic
growth (3.1% in 2014)...’carbon-fuelled expansion’
scouring the planet... will, he says, even with efficiency
and reduced raw materials consumption, lead to collapse,
the failure of our society and destruction of Earth’s living
systems. I dispatched the piece to my friend Peter Victor,
advising: “Gloomy piece you should read”. He riposted
“It’s only gloomy if you can’t see a way forward which is
what I work on”. Easter is the rebirth of hope, so I turned
to Victor and Tim Jackson’s recent report, Green economy
at community scale. It examines new approaches to what
these two ecological economists consider our society’s most
important challenge: ‘the need for economic activity to
remain within the ecological constraints of a finite planet’.
Jackson and Victor see economies as ‘sub-systems of the
biosphere, mediated by the values and institutions of society’.
For a green economy, maintaining economic stability,
ensuring full employment, and remaining within the
resource limits and constraints of our planet, low carbon
use, and efficiency, are essentials. The goal is ‘prosperity’.
which, for them, resides in the quality of our lives, the
health and happiness of our families, the strength of our
relationships, and our trust and ability to participate mean-
ingfully in the community, rather than in material abundance.
Beyond resource efficient technology and ‘treading lightly’
on earth, the green economy encompasses matters of
democratization, social inclusion, justice, policy, power,
and governance. It seeks a shared, socially just prosperity
that is environmentally sustainable and long lasting. They
note the Canadian Index of Wellbeing as a complement to
standard economic measurements which reflects such an
understanding of prosperity.
Jackson and Victor’s emphasis on the communal nature of
prosperity, and on continuation, echoes biblical teachings
about God’s ongoing sustained gift of Creation to the
whole human family and call to caring and justice. Their
vision of a shared, lasting prosperity in which individuals
and communities flourish offers hope!
In their view, our potential to thrive depends on having the
means to a livelihood, meaningful employment, and the
wherewithal to meet our needs and pursue our aspirations,
so economic stability and equity both matter. As enterprises
building a green economy, they note smaller, local energy
ventures embedded in the community — Bullfrog Power,
Toronto’s Options for Green Energy, and Community
Power Fund, which facilitate investment in, and provision
of, green energy. The West End Food Cooperative, which
promotes local food security and local produce at fair
prices, illustrates community based social enterprise, offering
service and a chance of staying within ecological scale.
Care, craft, and culture - human services - are central to
their vision of creating local economies.
Investment in climate adaptation and ecosystem enhance-
ment is a key challenge in a green economy — they note
German forest initiatives and a U.S. grasslands venture.
Recognition of environmental goods and services provided
by natural systems is growing - they salute the 2005 estab-
lishment of Ontario’s Greenbelt to protect rural land from
further urban sprawl. Sustainable Development Technology
Canada, established by the federal government to support
innovative technologies for climate change, clean air, water
quality, and soils, has provided almost $600 million to 245
projects since 2002. Credit unions, such as Ontario’s Alterna
Savings, have community based investment programs too.
The MaRS Centre for Impact Investing ‘aims to tackle
social and environmental problems in Canada through
social finance’, they note. And more than 40 Local Exchange
and Trading Systems (LETS) in Canada are grassroots
endeavours to shape and improve our economic lives.
Prosperity as a shared venture, rather than individual
pursuit of material abundance, speaks to Christian values
of community, caring, justice, and protection of Earth. The
empowerment of individuals reminds me of Jesus’ message
to his disciples: they - and we - are equipped to change the
world, as His witnesses.
Our government’s heavy investment in the petro industry
is, however, problematic. Community example and political
pressure work for change, and demand for it is on the rise.
On 6 June, 2014, more than 100 organizations, representing
millions of global citizens, told government leaders gathered
in Berlin for climate talks, “Stand with us, or step aside”.
They declared they are engaged in a fight for survival that
rests on the fundamental transformation of the present
system. “People driven solutions, compatible with planetary
limits, are being created and asserted at local, national and
7 / HERALD
CHRIST CHURCH DEER PARK SUMMER 2014
global levels” to meet “the needs of people rather than the
relentless pursuit of profits for big business and wealthy
elites”, they said. And they demanded commitment “to a
global goal of limiting warming that recognizes the latest
IPCC’s [Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s]
warnings on the threats of tipping points, and to the right
to food and food sovereignty”, and “swift global transforma-
tion away from the use of dirty fossil fuel ...towards a car-
bon-free and renewable energy economy... decentralized,
community controlled, affordable, accessible to all people
for their basic needs and well-being”. The Bonn Climate
Change Conference is a precursor to a Paris one in late
2015 to establish a new climate change agreement.
Demand for greening is rising worldwide, for the survival
and flourishing of families, communities, and peoples.
What is the Gospel calling us to do?

The Anne Larkin Award
Named after Anne Larkin, this award recognizes exceptional
time, effort, and devotion by a devoted lay person, to all aspects of
life at Christ Church Deer Park.
Has anyone ever dropped in, day or night, when Anne has
not been around doing something, somewhere? (I’ve even
suspected that she keeps a small, pièd á terre up in the Bell
Tower). The same could be said of John and Maggie
Symons. Whether it be manning the front desk, helping
serve communion, working for, and at, the rummage sales,
Christmas Fair and all other events, the Chancel Guild and
a miriad of other contributions, seen and unseen, we can
count on either John, Maggie, or both, to step up and it
will be done... and always with a smile.
A happy, richly deserved acknowledgement of two well
loved parishioners.
... and thank you, Tony van Straubenzee, on behalf of all of
us, for initiating this award.
ARE YOU INTERESTED IN HANDWORK? Do you appreciate
silence? Please consider joining us in the chapel on the 2nd
and 4th Wednesday of each month at 6:00pm as we enjoy
a contemplative time and space together. After a reading,
we work in silence for the first half hour and converse
about the work of our hands in the second half hour.

A Message from
Management Team
DURING THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS, members of the
Management Team have been busy with various initiatives.
We are delighted that Phil Hamilton, a theological student
at Wycliffe College, has joined us as a summer intern and
there is lots of positive feedback about his contributions to
the Sunday services and activities at CCDP.
The search for an Associate Priest is in its final stages and
we hope to be able to make an announcement before the
summer with the successful candidate beginning in late
summer or early fall.
A Parish Forum was held following the 10:00 a.m. service
on May 4th. We reported on our financial situation and
had a special Vestry meeting to simplify the current
arrangements for parish reserves without changing the way
in which the parish may use, or invest, its rainy day money.
There was a lively discussion with lots of questions and
comments. All motions put forward were approved.
The Management Team produced a follow-up report that
was distributed following the services on Sunday May 25th.
The good news is that operating costs for the first four
months of 2014 are on budget. However, based on current
information for 2014, there is a prediction of an operating
deficit of $25,000; not because of increased expenses but
because of reduced revenues. This situation strongly suggests
the need for increased giving if the parish is to carry out
the ministry, outreach and community activities planned in
the 2014 budget.
Finally, on a positive note, the Management Team is
delighted to announce that there will be a Vacation Bible
Camp offered at CCDP during the last week of August. It
will be operated by Hilary Keachie, our Director of
Children & Youth Ministry and Phil Hamilton our full-time
theological intern. It is designed for children between the
ages of 6-11, including those from the parish and the
broader community.
While the summer is a slower time at CCDP, there is still
lots to do and opportunities to get involved. The strength
of the parish is in having individuals and families feel part
of our community and wanting to contribute their time
and talents in ways that are rewarding to them and all of
us.
Best wishes for a happy summer!

Rummage
RoomRumble
Spring2014
There is always a rumble in the rummage room and the
Spring sale of 2014 was quite a challenge and a success.
We were blessed with an abundance of stuff in every area
and we had to let it go, hence we introduced, for the very
first time, a 50% off sale (excluding the boutique and
jewellery).
Thank you to the parishioners and the friends of our
community who donated to our sale and to the community
at large who came and shopped with us.
A sale of this magnitude takes a lot of man hours and
man power and people who are dedicated to the cause.
Thank you to all the volunteers.
Jill for dropping the flyers off @ St Georges; Barbara for
keeping our volunteers refreshed with coffee/tea, cookies
and the extra. Judith, Laura, Raye, Rhona, Susanne and
Emily, who cleaned and priced every single item.
Volunteers were in short supply for this sale and so I am
now appealing for help. The next sale is October 5, 2014.
Please book the date.
How can you help us with rummage?
More volunteers for setup on the Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday preceding the sale... volunteers to work on the
day of the sale and in the following departments:
food services, cashier, sales assistant & housewares, men’s
wear, women’s wear, boutique, children’s wear, change
room, linens, bookstore, jewellery, security and clean up
after the sale.
“More hands make the work lighter”
Please keep dropping off your donations, promote the
sale to your family, next door neighbours, friends and
co-workers. Post cards are located in the church.
Interested in the fall Rummage Room Fashion Show?
Sign up now.
Until next sale, have a fun summer.

The Herald Summer 2014 Parish Newsletter

  • 1. HERALDCHRIST CHURCH DEER PARK, TORONTO, CANADA VOLUME 40, NUMBER 3 And it came to pass, on a fine Saturday in May, that a small, dedicated crew of parishioners gathered together to tackle the spring cleaning of our grounds... at least one (almost) got ‘carried away’. Can you guess who?
  • 2. Dear friends, I RECENTLY ATTENDED the Diocesan Clergy Conference at Brock University in St. Catharines. The speaker this year was Stephen Cottrell, Bishop of Chelmsford in the Church of England. Bishop Cottrell spoke about the importance of evangelism for the future of the Church. Many of us shy away from evangelism because it is often tied to a particular theological viewpoint. But the word ‘evangelism’ simply means, ‘good news’. And if we believe that there is some good news about our faith, then we will want to tell others about it; we will want to be evangelists. Based on the familiar Easter story of the Road to Emmaus (Luke 24:13-35), Bishop Cottrell spoke about a form of evangelism that might suit Anglicans. Unlike the great drama of Paul’s encounter on the Road to Damascus (Acts 9), the Road to Emmaus story is rather ordinary. The risen Christ comes alongside the disciples who are walking away from Jerusalem toward Emmaus, and instead of telling them who he is and that he has been raised from the dead, Jesus asks them a question: “What are you talking about?” He listens to them, and then joins their conversation. There is no coercion; he joins them for dinner only when they invite him, and because they have presumably enjoyed the conversation they’ve had with him on the road. And when he sits down with them for a meal and breaks bread with them, their eyes are opened, and they recognize him. What conclusions might we draw from this story as we seek to share our faith with others? Well, we meet people where they are, not where we want them or expect them to be; we listen to others before we speak; we seek out conversations with those who may have been on very different paths than our own; we build a place of nurture in our own community; we live and share what we have already received.’ Many churches have experimented with ‘Back to Church Sundays’ or ‘Bring a Friend to Church Sundays’. But in my experience, most of those who make their way into a community of faith do so because they encounter a group of people who are open-minded, and on a journey of discovery themselves, and are interested in others, and who are authentically living out their faith in daily life. Thatís the kind of evangelism I can get behind.

  • 3. 3 / HERALD CHRIST CHURCH DEER PARK SUMMER 2014 Happy Summer PromiseLand! WHAT A FUN AND EXCITING Eastertide we’ve had! We started off with the ìMary Mix-Upî and explored the 3 prominent Marys in the life of Jesus. We used objects to journey with Mary Magdalene, made beautifully scented soap mirroring how Mary of Bethany anointed Jesus’ feet with perfume, and looked at icons and African artwork depicting Mary and the Holy Family. All three of these women had fascinating relationships with Jesus, but so often are confused, even blended together. We read a lot of the Biblical accounts, and thought a lot about who these women were, and what roles they played in the Gospel story. We also had some good fun, especially making the soap! After it cooled and hardened, we wrapped it up and gave it to our moms for Mother’s Day. We hope they enjoy using it as much as we enjoyed making it We then focused on the disciples, and their reactions and encounters with the Risen Christ. We played trust games including a blindfolded obstacle course, made edible “nets of fish” and went fishing with celery sticks, wow butter and goldfish crackers! All of this learning prepared us for Pentecost and to celebrate the coming down of the Holy Spirit. We had a fantastic “Everybody Upstairs” Sunday on June 8th with our teens and kids taking leadership roles in many elements of the Sunday Liturgy. From the enthusiastic greeting to the relevant and timely prayers, the spirit was among us indeed! Starting next Sunday June 29th is our Summer Kid’s Programme. Every Sunday in July and August, a parent volunteer will welcome children to the St. Nicholas Chapel to make crafts, read Biblical stories & play games together. Thank you so much to our wonderful parent volunteers for their commitment and enthusiasm! PromiseLand resumes on Sunday September 7th This Summer, we are also proud to present VACATION BIBLE CAMP! Join us as we journey with Moses and the 12 tribes of Israel for an adventure-filled wilderness experience! We will cross the Red Sea, eat delicious manna, sing songs of praise and learn about the Israelitesí incredible journey to the Promised Land. VBC runs from August 25 to 29th 2014, 9:30am to 12:30pm. Camp costs $75 per camper; $50 for each additional kid in a family. Know someone who might be interested in coming? Please pass along the info - the more the merrier!! Register now at www.christchurchdeerpark.org/promiseland Or, are you interested in creating sets, making snacks or leading one of the tribes? We would love to have you involved! Please email me: hkeachie@thereslifehere.org Young Anglican Leaders! OUR YOUNG ANGLICAN LEADERS have had a busy and fun spring! In May we hosted a Bake Sale fundraiser in support of Jordan Wilkinsonís volunteer service trip to Kenya. We had an enthusiastic team of bakers and sellers, and together we raised $589! Jordan will spend 3 weeks in July in the Maasai Mara region of Kenya helping to build a school, par- ticipating in hands-on work- shops and learning about poverty-related issues in Africa.

Father’s Day celebration came into being due to the efforts of an American, Mrs. Sonora Smart Dodd, who was so touched, after listening to a ‘Mother’s Day’ sermon, and realizing the greatness of her father as well as her mother, decided that she had to do something to show her father, how much he was appreciated. Realizing the love, sacrifices and strength that her father showed, Mrs. Dodd, vowed to have a special day dedicated to her father Mr. William Jackson Smart, a civil war veteran, who as a single parent raised her and her siblings after the death of their mother. Her idea gained some attention, and in 1924 President Calvin Coolidge recommended that the third Sunday in June, be set aside as a National Holiday to celebrate all fathers. Finally, after years of much discussion and debate, Father’s Day became an official National Holiday due to a proclamation in 1972 by President Richard Nixon. Fatherís Day is an opportunity for fathers to bond with their children and for them to realize more fully the impact of their parental responsibilities. It is a day to honour our fathers for being ‘Providers and Leaders both spiritual and moral’. It is a day to express our thanks to our Unsung Heroes. Father’s Day affords us the opportunity and occasion to express our gratitude and thankfulness to our fathers/dads all over the world. It is a day to make us aware of the roles fathers play in nurturing their children to grow to be responsible citizens and to help in the building of a better and stronger Society. It is a day that Fathers are given a little extra attention for trying to be so invincible and strong, and for holding back the tears when they should allow them to flow. It is a day to show Fathers how wonderful they are. Our genuine expression of love to our father on ‘Father’s Day’ touches not only his ‘Heart but his Soul’. White and Red Roses are the official flowers to recognize fathers. The White Rose is to remember those who have passed on, and the Red Rose is to celebrate our joy for those who are still present in our lives. CONGRATULATIONS and HAPPY FATHER’S DAY. Wishing you many blessings and may you be surrounded with much love on this, your special day. Elsa Jones YAL also had a super fun joint social with the youth group of St. John York Mills. We drew creative portraits, had freezies and played a lively game of water balloon Capture the Flag! It was a perfect day for a water game - although most of us did end up quite soaked! We can’t wait to hang out again and are planning on hosting them at CCDP in the fall. To celebrate the end of school, YAL participated in the York-Scarborough Summer Park Party! We joined youth from across Toronto on June 21st for an afternoon of fun in the sun at York Mills Park. We had an egg and spoon race, a water balloon toss, frozen treats, and even built an outdoor labyrinth together. It was so fun, and we hope to do more joint events in the coming months! Looking ahead to the fall, our Diocesan Youth Retreat is on October 3rd to 5th at Camp Medeba, near Muskoka. The theme is, “Survival Guide to the End of the World... Jesus, Zombies and The Hunger Games”. It’s going to be amazing with apocalyptic discussions, .archery, canoeing and much more! Register now on our website’s youth page, or speak to me. I hope you have fantastic summers at camp, traveling or just relaxing and I’m looking forward to seeing you all again in September. Our first “Snacks & Scripture” (a new weekly youth programme that will use Lectio Divina to help us enter into the scriptures and our relationship with God) will be on Sunday September 7th Summer blessings to you all!

  • 5. As a theological student, I am given the unique opportunity of choosing a parish to serve in and learn from, as a part of my training for future ministry. In a diocese as large and impressive as Toronto, with so many wonderful parishes, the task of choosing one was daunting. However, after spending a wonderful year at Church of the Transfiguration with Fr. David Giffen, Christ Church Deer Park came highly recommended. I could not be more thrilled to be a part of this parish, and to have the opportunity to serve under the gifted leadership of the Rev’d. Canon Kevin Robertson. I have been blessed by radical hospitality of this faith community, and I have experienced first-hand the out- working of a deep love one for another. I look forward to meeting each of you, and getting to know you personally. Look forward with excitement for the days to come, because the Spirit is moving at Christ Church Deer Park as we work together with our eyes fixed on Christ! Phil Hamilton, Theological Intern 5 / HERALD CHRIST CHURCH DEER PARK SUMMER 2014 Phil weighs in... Behind the scenes... This building that is Christ Church Deer Park is a beehive of activity... seven days a week and on many evenings as well. First and foremost, of course, is the work of the church... the Services, (the clergy), the Choir, the Chancel Guild and flower arrangers, and the ACW (Anglican Church Workers) with their rummage sale and Christmas Fair preparations (on-going, all year). Occasionally there are also weddings and funerals, special study groups (especially during Lent and Advent), the Nursery, PromiseLand and YAL events as well as social gatherings (the annual Pancake Supper comes to mind). Desirous of a friendly game of Bridge?... come by any Tuesday afternoon. Love to knit? The Knitting Circle meets every other Wednesday for quiet contemplation and the joy of knitting (you can pick up some tips too). There’s usually something interesting in The Gallery (in the Arthur Smith Room)... you might just find the perfect piece to fill that blank wall. The Community Breakfast, every other Saturday, is a great opportunity to get involvd in Outreach. And there’s music... lots of music! All five choirs of the Toronto Children’s Chorus practice here. As do the Toronto Classical Singers, who also hold their concerts here. The Toronto Flute School holds ensemble and masterclasses, workshops and concerts here. Because of our chancel’s wonderful acoustics, the Brahms Trio and the Canadian Brass record here, to mention a few. The Oriole Nursery School calls CCDP home and, of late, Yoga classes are offered three days a week. We are also home to many self-help groups... Several AA groups hold meetings and book studies here. We are also home to OA (Overeaters Anonymous), UA (Underearners Anonymous) and Phoenix (a CA group). ... I may have missed a few, but we certainly can truly say, Phil with his sons, Mylo (3.5) and Dexter (2.5) “ ...and they're definitely a handful... Haha... But also a ton of fun!”
  • 6. 6 / HERALD CHRIST CHURCH DEER PARK SUMMER 2014 Social Matters COLLAPSE - OR GREENING? READING GEORGE MONBIOT’S GUARDIAN ARTICLE,”The impossibility of growth”, I was alarmed. Global economic growth (3.1% in 2014)...’carbon-fuelled expansion’ scouring the planet... will, he says, even with efficiency and reduced raw materials consumption, lead to collapse, the failure of our society and destruction of Earth’s living systems. I dispatched the piece to my friend Peter Victor, advising: “Gloomy piece you should read”. He riposted “It’s only gloomy if you can’t see a way forward which is what I work on”. Easter is the rebirth of hope, so I turned to Victor and Tim Jackson’s recent report, Green economy at community scale. It examines new approaches to what these two ecological economists consider our society’s most important challenge: ‘the need for economic activity to remain within the ecological constraints of a finite planet’. Jackson and Victor see economies as ‘sub-systems of the biosphere, mediated by the values and institutions of society’. For a green economy, maintaining economic stability, ensuring full employment, and remaining within the resource limits and constraints of our planet, low carbon use, and efficiency, are essentials. The goal is ‘prosperity’. which, for them, resides in the quality of our lives, the health and happiness of our families, the strength of our relationships, and our trust and ability to participate mean- ingfully in the community, rather than in material abundance. Beyond resource efficient technology and ‘treading lightly’ on earth, the green economy encompasses matters of democratization, social inclusion, justice, policy, power, and governance. It seeks a shared, socially just prosperity that is environmentally sustainable and long lasting. They note the Canadian Index of Wellbeing as a complement to standard economic measurements which reflects such an understanding of prosperity. Jackson and Victor’s emphasis on the communal nature of prosperity, and on continuation, echoes biblical teachings about God’s ongoing sustained gift of Creation to the whole human family and call to caring and justice. Their vision of a shared, lasting prosperity in which individuals and communities flourish offers hope! In their view, our potential to thrive depends on having the means to a livelihood, meaningful employment, and the wherewithal to meet our needs and pursue our aspirations, so economic stability and equity both matter. As enterprises building a green economy, they note smaller, local energy ventures embedded in the community — Bullfrog Power, Toronto’s Options for Green Energy, and Community Power Fund, which facilitate investment in, and provision of, green energy. The West End Food Cooperative, which promotes local food security and local produce at fair prices, illustrates community based social enterprise, offering service and a chance of staying within ecological scale. Care, craft, and culture - human services - are central to their vision of creating local economies. Investment in climate adaptation and ecosystem enhance- ment is a key challenge in a green economy — they note German forest initiatives and a U.S. grasslands venture. Recognition of environmental goods and services provided by natural systems is growing - they salute the 2005 estab- lishment of Ontario’s Greenbelt to protect rural land from further urban sprawl. Sustainable Development Technology Canada, established by the federal government to support innovative technologies for climate change, clean air, water quality, and soils, has provided almost $600 million to 245 projects since 2002. Credit unions, such as Ontario’s Alterna Savings, have community based investment programs too. The MaRS Centre for Impact Investing ‘aims to tackle social and environmental problems in Canada through social finance’, they note. And more than 40 Local Exchange and Trading Systems (LETS) in Canada are grassroots endeavours to shape and improve our economic lives. Prosperity as a shared venture, rather than individual pursuit of material abundance, speaks to Christian values of community, caring, justice, and protection of Earth. The empowerment of individuals reminds me of Jesus’ message to his disciples: they - and we - are equipped to change the world, as His witnesses. Our government’s heavy investment in the petro industry is, however, problematic. Community example and political pressure work for change, and demand for it is on the rise. On 6 June, 2014, more than 100 organizations, representing millions of global citizens, told government leaders gathered in Berlin for climate talks, “Stand with us, or step aside”. They declared they are engaged in a fight for survival that rests on the fundamental transformation of the present system. “People driven solutions, compatible with planetary limits, are being created and asserted at local, national and
  • 7. 7 / HERALD CHRIST CHURCH DEER PARK SUMMER 2014 global levels” to meet “the needs of people rather than the relentless pursuit of profits for big business and wealthy elites”, they said. And they demanded commitment “to a global goal of limiting warming that recognizes the latest IPCC’s [Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s] warnings on the threats of tipping points, and to the right to food and food sovereignty”, and “swift global transforma- tion away from the use of dirty fossil fuel ...towards a car- bon-free and renewable energy economy... decentralized, community controlled, affordable, accessible to all people for their basic needs and well-being”. The Bonn Climate Change Conference is a precursor to a Paris one in late 2015 to establish a new climate change agreement. Demand for greening is rising worldwide, for the survival and flourishing of families, communities, and peoples. What is the Gospel calling us to do? Canon Phyllis Creighton The Anne Larkin Award Named after Anne Larkin, this award recognizes exceptional time, effort, and devotion by a devoted lay person, to all aspects of life at Christ Church Deer Park. Has anyone ever dropped in, day or night, when Anne has not been around doing something, somewhere? (I’ve even suspected that she keeps a small, pièd á terre up in the Bell Tower). The same could be said of John and Maggie Symons. Whether it be manning the front desk, helping serve communion, working for, and at, the rummage sales, Christmas Fair and all other events, the Chancel Guild and a miriad of other contributions, seen and unseen, we can count on either John, Maggie, or both, to step up and it will be done... and always with a smile. A happy, richly deserved acknowledgement of two well loved parishioners. ... and thank you, Tony van Straubenzee, on behalf of all of us, for initiating this award. ARE YOU INTERESTED IN HANDWORK? Do you appreciate silence? Please consider joining us in the chapel on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of each month at 6:00pm as we enjoy a contemplative time and space together. After a reading, we work in silence for the first half hour and converse about the work of our hands in the second half hour. Contemplative Knitting Circle For knitters of all ages and stages. A big thank you to Hilary Keachie, Kathleen Lindsay and Henry Zaluski for most of the photos in this issue.
  • 8. 8 / HERALD CHRIST CHURCH DEER PARK SUMMER 2014 A Message from Management Team DURING THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS, members of the Management Team have been busy with various initiatives. We are delighted that Phil Hamilton, a theological student at Wycliffe College, has joined us as a summer intern and there is lots of positive feedback about his contributions to the Sunday services and activities at CCDP. The search for an Associate Priest is in its final stages and we hope to be able to make an announcement before the summer with the successful candidate beginning in late summer or early fall. A Parish Forum was held following the 10:00 a.m. service on May 4th. We reported on our financial situation and had a special Vestry meeting to simplify the current arrangements for parish reserves without changing the way in which the parish may use, or invest, its rainy day money. There was a lively discussion with lots of questions and comments. All motions put forward were approved. The Management Team produced a follow-up report that was distributed following the services on Sunday May 25th. The good news is that operating costs for the first four months of 2014 are on budget. However, based on current information for 2014, there is a prediction of an operating deficit of $25,000; not because of increased expenses but because of reduced revenues. This situation strongly suggests the need for increased giving if the parish is to carry out the ministry, outreach and community activities planned in the 2014 budget. Finally, on a positive note, the Management Team is delighted to announce that there will be a Vacation Bible Camp offered at CCDP during the last week of August. It will be operated by Hilary Keachie, our Director of Children & Youth Ministry and Phil Hamilton our full-time theological intern. It is designed for children between the ages of 6-11, including those from the parish and the broader community. While the summer is a slower time at CCDP, there is still lots to do and opportunities to get involved. The strength of the parish is in having individuals and families feel part of our community and wanting to contribute their time and talents in ways that are rewarding to them and all of us. Best wishes for a happy summer! Genevieve Chornenki Carolyn Kearns Henry Zaluski Rector’s Warden People’s Warden Deputy Warden Congregational Care Team The following parishioners are members of our Congregational Care Team: Jo Ann Davis Maggie Symons Edna Quammie Tony vanStraubenzee Joy Graham Robert Reeves Cathy Thomas Anne Larkin David Moore, Chair These people, who have had some training and considerable experience in caring for others, are now keeping in touch with 23 of our parish who are home or institution bound. They provide a link to our church through visits and phone calls. In addition, when needed, the Care Team has organized transportation to one of our church services. In this regard a special thank you to Steven McDonough, Phil Hooper, and Anne Larkin who are providing this service on a regular basis. If you would like to know more about us, or know of someone in our church that may need our care, please call David Moore at 416-975-5506 or the Clergy at CCDP. CCDP is initiating a mailing to those of our “homebound” that are seldom able to attend services. This mailing will include The Herald, a recent church bulletin and homilies when available and will be sent whenever The Herald is published. We hope that this will help keep these parish- ioners informed as to the happenings at their church.

Rummage RoomRumble Spring2014 There is always a rumble in the rummage room and the Spring sale of 2014 was quite a challenge and a success. We were blessed with an abundance of stuff in every area and we had to let it go, hence we introduced, for the very first time, a 50% off sale (excluding the boutique and jewellery). Thank you to the parishioners and the friends of our community who donated to our sale and to the community at large who came and shopped with us. A sale of this magnitude takes a lot of man hours and man power and people who are dedicated to the cause. Thank you to all the volunteers. Jill for dropping the flyers off @ St Georges; Barbara for keeping our volunteers refreshed with coffee/tea, cookies and the extra. Judith, Laura, Raye, Rhona, Susanne and Emily, who cleaned and priced every single item. Volunteers were in short supply for this sale and so I am now appealing for help. The next sale is October 5, 2014. Please book the date. How can you help us with rummage? More volunteers for setup on the Wednesday, Thursday and Friday preceding the sale... volunteers to work on the day of the sale and in the following departments: food services, cashier, sales assistant & housewares, men’s wear, women’s wear, boutique, children’s wear, change room, linens, bookstore, jewellery, security and clean up after the sale. “More hands make the work lighter” Please keep dropping off your donations, promote the sale to your family, next door neighbours, friends and co-workers. Post cards are located in the church. Interested in the fall Rummage Room Fashion Show? Sign up now. Until next sale, have a fun summer.
