A New Vision for Five Oaks Centre
23 Avril 2018
Five Oaks Education and Retreat Centre outside Paris, Ontario has long been a gathering place for Christians of all traditions. The Centre has now expanded its vision and mission as follows:
- To be a sacred place where peoples of all faiths as well as spiritual seekers can gather in community to live, work, learn, pray, play, heal and act for justice.
- To be a sacred place where people, as individuals or in intentional community, come apart to look deeply into their own lives and the world in light of faith and values, and find their calling to participate in Spirit’s healing work in creation.
- To provide a residential setting where people of different faiths (or no faith), cultures, Nations and spiritual seekers can explore new understandings of neighbour, faith and the earth and model communities of compassion for the sake of the world.
