Exploring a Century of Intersections, Images, and Ideologies in Faith and Education
All are invited for a day of centennial reflection!
On May 5, 2025, St. Stephen’s College will host a day of reflection to mark two centennials that fall near one another: the 100th anniversary of The United Church of Canada (in Summer 2025) and the 100th convocation of St. Stephen’s College (held in Fall 2024).
The College and the Church have a long, winding, and intertwined history with one another. Join us as we explore the intersections, images, and ideologies that have shaped faith and education in Alberta over the past one hundred years.
Two Ways to Participate
A Day of Reflection
This day-long event will include story telling circles, a panel of college and faith community representatives exploring the images and intersections that have shaped church, college, and community in Alberta, a panel of St. Stephen’s students and alumni discussing various fields of UCC ministry practice (including ordained ministry, diaconal ministry, and public-sector ministries such as chaplaincy and counselling), and discussion with the Right Rev. Dr. Carmen Lansdowne, Moderator of the United Church of Canada.
