Bedford House
a catalyst for social, economic, and spiritual innovations.
Founding Question
How might a small, under-resourced, group of people, from a variety of faith streams – and none, make a significant difference in our community?
Mission
Bedford House Community Ministry is a catalyst for social, economic, and spiritual innovations.
Vision
To create spaces where people of all faiths – and none – might engage in “sacred conversations” and experiments – to co-create a community that is ecologically sustainable, socially equitable, and spiritually fulfilling.
Our Story
Lynn’s story is at the root of Bedford House’s origins.
Sabbatical’s work in progress
What is so very cool has been this summer’s story of unchurched Bridging Team leaders visiting congregations – including Greenwood – to talk about what they’ve discovered in the midst of a safe, non-judgemental, circle of strangers who become friends and “neighbours”.
the seventh wave
Can we hear the ancient call to repent and follow Jesus’ fearful path towards a counter-cultural witness?
The second decade of this century saw three, inter-related, historic waves crashing on the shores of Canadian consciousness. While each of these powerful realities are not new – we’ve been warned for decades that the reckoning is coming – it seems to me that the “seventh wave” – – the largest and most powerful in a series – has crashed this year on all three of these powerful realities.
An Oasis moment: Neighbours Network August 4th 2021
For all of us who’ve felt like we didn’t belong, like we didn’t fit, or were made to feel as if we were deficient in various ways – it feels like we’ve created a place where our differences are celebrated, or at least tolerated with kindness and compassion.
