Be the first to comment!By the Way: To do God’s work is to do simple things that can change the world

I imagine how people have suffered events in their lives – trauma, mental illness, loss, injury, abuse – and ... Read More »

Be the first to comment!Praxis: Find your way home
By Patty Rooks on July 13th, 2019
praxis@praxismh.ca@PraxisMedHat I don’t know about you, but a favourite activity of mine in the summer is camping! I don’t necessarily “glamp” but prefer to go to the backcountry and camp. My last outing was a bit nerve-wracking for some members in our group. Unfortunately, they decided to go hiking without any hiking gear. I quickly ... Read More »

By Laura Lukye on July 11th, 2019
laura.lukye@ahs.ca Our lives have become so busy, we don’t take the time to get to know our neighbours. We talk a lot about neighbourhood and community, but did you know that almost half of Canadians don’t even know their neighbours, according to an Angus Reid/Cardus survey?

praxis@praxismh.ca@PraxisMedHat I know that once we get into the routine of summer vacation we are looking for activities to do and perhaps even make a bit of money.
