Charlottetown
Founding Fathers - Charlottetown - August 2002
In August 2002, Christians from across Canada, joined by delegations of leaders from Switzerland, Germany, England, France, South Africa, the United States, Hong Kong and Taiwan, gathered in Charlottetown, PEI to seek the face of the Lord. What transpired was a journey of healing and reconciliation between denominations, ethnic groups and generations.
What emerged was a deeper revelation of the Church - His Body.
A Divine Beginning - When the Swiss leaders traveled to Charlottetown they had no idea that God would begin a process of reconciliation that many of them had been longing to see for many years.
The Courtship - The history of French and English Canada is one of misunderstanding, separation and pain. But God is restoring His original purposes of a divine joining between these two people groups in a relationship of mutual love and respect.
Walking Backward, Running Forward - Generation "X" has been called the lost generation. But God has a very special place in His heart and plan for this generation.
The Healing - Participants in the gathering stand in proxy for the Canadian church in a time of repentance and healing for Canadian political leader Stockwell Day.
Undivided Focus - A spontaneous dance of intimacy and surrender by worship leader Heather Clark.
Psalm 126
