There are many teachings across Turtle Island about the significance of drum circles and music. One tells of groups in conflict coming together through drumming without words—a shared musical language that everyone could understand.
Today, as many Indigenous communities revitalize their languages, drum songs with lyrics are becoming increasingly common.

We invite you to read a review, written by Genevieve Chornenki, of "Christ in the Rubble: Faith, the Bible, and the Genocide in Gaza" by Munther Isaac. The book explores questions of faith, Scripture, suffering, and justice from a Palestinian Christian perspective in the context of the war in Gaza. The review can be found in the latest issue of our church newsletter, Spiritus (page 16).

Phyllis Creighton passed away a few years ago. She spent many years at CCDP, singing in the choir, providing Sunday prayers and offering environmental guidance to the parish. She was also known throughout the Diocese for her advocacy work, her service as a lay Canon, and as a member of the Order of Ontario.
In our current issue of Spiritus, Emily Chatten thoughtfully asks, "What Would Phyllis Say?" as she explores the Ontario government's push to build its biggest-ever nuclear plant. Read the article on page 14. You can also read a selection of Phyllis' intercessions on page 15, offering a little background on why someone might seek Phyllis' ecospiritual advice.
