Join with Roger Hutchinson and members of the Edmonton area ecumenical social action groups for an evening of reflection and discussion. Roger will provide a critical overview and analysis of the "glory days" of Canadian ecumenical social action in the 1970s and 1980s and the changed situation of the past fifteen years. We will talk together about the challenges and opportunities for this work today.
