A mentor showed me this Wendell Barry poem today. A brilliant take on living life for what it was created to be. Love the quick profit, the annual raise, vacation with pay. Want more of everything ready-made. Be afraid...

One of our grants resulted in this documentary film, contemplatively crafted by Trevor Meier. You can now purchase the dvd of this film which focuses on the inexplicable yet substantive hope rising out of the Rwandan genocide. The film makes you pause, breathe again, and embrace hope...

This vignette, from the Washington Area Women’s Foundation, reminded me of the time we opened our home to a woman and her daughter who were at the end of their rope. They stayed with us for several months, and she overcame depression and a debilitating medical condition. ...

Aviva Community Fund has launched a fascinating process where they are selecting projects from across Canada to which they will disburse $500,000 in funding. I became aware of it through Dion Oxford who came up with this creative idea for Gateway Linens...

Just saw Relevant magazine’s review of a book I’ve been working my way through — Bearing the Mystery: Twenty Years of Image. This is a compilation of twenty years of superb writing and art on faith and the mystery of the human condition which has appeared previously in the quarterly journal. I hi...

I have some exciting news! For a few months now, a group of funders have been talking about how we can better serve our charity partners. So often we urge organizations to work together, to collaborate, to leverage each others networks and strengths for a common purpose...

My sister-in-law Kim sent me an exceptional gift this week — it came in the form of a voluminous email attachment. Charting the Unknown is her first book, to be published in March 2010 by Los Angeles-based Behler Publications. ...

I’m attending a unique symposium this weekend at St. Paul’s Anglican Church on Bloor Street in Toronto. Cardus, World Vision Canada, and the Canadian Urban Institute are collaborating in hosting a gathering of thinkers and practitioners to reflect on the role of the faith community in cities. T...

I resonate with your- let me call it relief- in discovering hidden individuals and even communities of faith striving to be outwardly focused. It's a powerful, quiet move of the Spirit that has created this holy discontent and is radically changing many

Just discovered that singer/songwriter Steve Bell has a blog. And if the quality of this post on “Keeping Christ in Hallowe’en” is any indication, he is worth tracking with. He e...

Neat -- I bought a children's book last year called "Is Halloween for real?" that covers some of the same information. (Doesn't mention Patrick by name though.) The kids at our after school club seemed to like it this year!

I’m participating in the annual gathering of Canadian philanthropists in a Calgary hotel this week. This is the third annual conference of Philanthropic Foundations Canada in its short 10-year history. And it’s becoming quite a big deal. La...

As someone who has responsibility for writing and administering grant proposals I welcome any efforts that will streamline the process and make it more efficient and effective for all of us.

I thought this was a creative attempt at strategic advertising, and it gets a shout-out to the crowds gathered at last July’s Calgary Stampede. Chuckwagon racer Kelly Sutherland – once again – decorated his wagon with the Opportunity International tarp. And he wins the race! (The...

Through the Chronicle of Philanthropy’s newsfeed, I discovered fellow Canadian philanthropists – from Vancouver – and known as the Guerrilla Givers. Their approach is unconventional, fresh, and thrilling. Here’s what they do: What? Guerri...

The past three days I’ve been in Seattle at (my first of hopefully many) biannual meetings of the Image Journal board. A stretch for me: I’ve never been extensively involved in a cultural organization before. But my personal philosophy is that if it’s not a stretch, then I’m bored. I need...
