  Working Toward Christian Unity, With Peter Noteboom

  Jul 29, 202621 minS13

  Last month, Peter Noteboom retired from his position as General Secretary of the Canadian Council of Churches, after 27 years with the organization, including nine years in that leading role. The Canadian Council of Churches (CCC) is a broad and inclusive ecumenical body, representing 26-member churches from various Christian traditions. The Salvation Army is a founding member of the CCC, which has been around since 1944. As he looks back on his years with the council, Peter shares his thoughts on why Christian unity matters so much and how the church can better use its voice in society, plus personal highlights from his tenure, reflections on The Salvation Army’s contributions to ecumenism and more.

  Making The Salvation Army Accessible to All

  Jun 24, 202633 minS13

  Across Canada, about 27 percent of people aged 15 and older live with a disability. In a country of 41 million, that translates to about 11 million people—including many people in our Salvation Army context. So, how is our territory working to improve accessibility, to ensure everyone belongs? On this episode, we’re joined by Colonel Margaret McLeod, chief secretary, and Major Christine Johnston, territorial disabilities consultant, who share their perspectives on how the territory is progressing in this area, and why accessibility is not an add-on, but is an essential part of the gospel and our mission.

  General Lyndon Buckingham and Commissioner Bronwyn Buckingham Come to Canada

  Jun 3, 202624 minS13

  From April 17 to May 4, the Canada and Bermuda Territory was honoured to host General Lyndon Buckingham and Commissioner Bronwyn Buckingham. During their tour, The Salvation Army’s international leaders travelled from coast to coast, from St. John’s to Vancouver, encouraging Salvationists to keep Jesus at the centre of all we do. On their final day in Canada, they joined the Salvationist podcast to talk about the Jesus Our Compass tour. But the conversation covered a number of subjects: their time as corps officers in Windsor, Ontario, the General’s health crisis last October—and the dark nights of the soul that followed—and how their own family’s legacy of Salvationism still inspires them today. Pick up the July/August issue of Salvationist and read the highlights from the tour. Watch all the live streams from the tour here .

  Since Alpha Canada was established in 1998, more than 1.4 million people in Canada have experienced Alpha. It’s a great tool for churches to introduce people to Jesus and also help believers deepen their faith. Many ministry units in the Canada and Bermuda Territory are running Alpha, including Moncton Citadel Community Church in New Brunswick. On this episode, we hear from Moncton’s corps officer, Major James Anderson, and Marie Caillouette, a member of the church who is also the administrative assistant there. Marie has her own incredible story of transformation through Alpha, having taken the program while she was in prison.

  10 Years After "The Beast": Remembering the Fort McMurray Wildfires

  Apr 22, 202658 minS13

  It was nicknamed “The Beast”—the massive wildfire that ripped through Fort McMurray, Alberta, in May 2016. It forced the entire city of almost 90,000 people to evacuate and spread across approximately 590,000 hectares—an area larger than Prince Edward Island. For this episode, we’re marking the 10-year anniversary of the fire by talking to officers and Salvationists who were there in Fort McMurray when it happened; people who experienced the evacuation and the pain of loss firsthand; people who were part of the Army’s emergency disaster services response, both during the fire and long after it ended. How did they experience that fire, as individuals and as a church? What has been the key to healing after this devastating event, and what is the legacy of the fire today? This episode features: Verna Thomas-Winsor, a member of the Salvation Army church in Fort McMurray, who lost her home and more; Major Steve Hibbs, corps officer in Fort McMurray in 2016, now retired and still living there; Majors Bond and Marina Jennings, assistant corps officers in 2016; and Captain Ian Scott, who led the Salvation Army EDS team during re-entry following the evacuation.
