Ontario Young Friends

Hey Ontario Young Friends,

Misia and Sophie have organized a OYF Retreat at Toronto's Friends House the first weekend in February. Please contact Misia for more details. misia.robins @ gmail.com

Last year, CFSC revised its Young Friend Internship in response to  
results from an evaluation to make it more accessible and of greater  
benefit.

This summer, CFSC is offering a four-month internship to coincide with  
the university year (May 1 – August 31). Interns receive a living  
allowance of $850/month. CFSC will try to secure a billet  
(accommodation) with a Quaker family but this cannot be guaranteed.  
The summer internship includes attending Canadian Yearly Meeting  
sessions (in August, near Ottawa).

Dear Friends,

In November 2008, Young Friends and Young Adult Friends in Canada were challenged to report about their efforts of building bridges between different branches of Friends around the world.

The request to hear about the experiences of YF/YAFs in Canada as they encounter Quakers around the world, directly tied into my hope for this issue of the Sporadical, for I knew we as Young Friends has stories to tell about our friends whose forms of Quakerism may differ from those we grew up with.

The Toronto Monthly Meeting Speaking from Experience series, highlighing the personal faith journeys of individual Friends, is organized by the Religious Education Committee, and presented after Meeting for Worship on the second Sunday of the month.

This 11 January 2009, Rebecca Ivanoff will talk about her experiences with the diversity of Friends around the world and here in North America.

Come join us for Worship at 11am, followed by tea and coffee and a friendly talk and discussion.
