Pentecost Priest's Message, 2011

You may notice that Katy Perry's video Firework is on our front page; our church school youth sang it on the day when the church celebrates Pentecost, our own firework day. We claim that each of us is responsible for sharing the divine spark living in us, the Holy Spirit. Rather than shooting from our head as we so often do in the rational mode of the church, Perry reminds us that our sparks emerge from our heart, the core of us. She poignantly shows a variety of folks whose spark is hidden by difference...illness, body size, orientation, age...and then shares a releasing which makes the world bright.

Our Student

Hilary Anne Murray - born in Barbados, West Indies, she first moved to Canada (Montreal) at the age of 7. She became a Canadian citizen at age 15 when her family moved to Ottawa. Hilary has lived in many cities in Canada, USA, Jamaica and Barbados. She enjoys travelling and meeting new people. She is presently working on her 4th university degree (Master of Pastoral Theology). She has worked for 18 years as a MSW clinical Social Worker. Over the last 3.5 years she has been providing trauma therapy to soldiers at CFB Petawawa. When Hilary is not working she likes to relax by listening to music, dancing and allowing herself to connect to her creative spirit - choreographing dances. Hilary's goal is to be ordained as an Anglican priest, finding a way to combine all her skills and gifts as a clinical Social Worker and dancer with ordained ministry.
