TMTC Writing Retreat Goes Virtual

Allison Murray reading a book

We had planned to host a one-day structured writing retreat in Toronto, with TMTC associate Allison Murray (pictured) as our facilitator, on March 27th. Structured writing retreats give people a chance to dedicate time to writing while also breaking up the typically lonely experience that writing can be. We were looking forward to gathering a group together, feeding them, and giving them the chance to make progress on their writing projects in a supportive, communal environment. When the University of Toronto urged the cancellation of all discretionary events we thought we wouldn’t be able to host the retreat after all. But, with a bit of work, we were able to adapt the retreat program and move it online!

Event Postponements

The response to the COVID-19 outbreak is moving very quickly. Our focus is on protecting the health and safety of everyone associated with TMTC as well as the wider community. The latest advice from the University of Toronto, which TMTC is committed to follow, is now encouraging the postponement of all discretionary events that are not part of courses and academic requirements. This means our 2020 Public Lecture, Writing Retreat, and April Scholars Forum are all postponed as of today. We will look to reschedule these events at a future date.

Thank you for your continued support of TMTC and of each other as we all navigate this dynamic situation together.

God and Abuse: A TMTC Peace Theology Course this Fall

Every other year the Toronto Mennonite Theological Centre, which is part of Conrad Grebel University College, teaches a course on-campus at the Toronto School of Theology.  These courses bring an Anabaptist perspective to various theological topics. Recent courses include Peace Church Theology taught by Professor Jeremy Bergen and The Eucharist/Lord's Supper in Ecumenical Perspective taught by Professor John Rempel.

We are delighted that this fall, Carol Penner, Assistant Professor of Theological Studies at Conrad Grebel University College, will be teaching CGT 3511 God and Abuse: Theology Close to Home.
