He has written on church apologies\, martyrdom\, ecclesiology\, ecumenism\, the Holy Spirit\, and Mennonite theology\, and is currently completing a book on Christian martyrdom and the unity of the church for Baylor University Press. \n\n\n\nThe De Margerie Lectures are named for the late Fr. Bernard De Margerie\, a priest of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Saskatoon and an ecumenical pioneer who co-founded the Prairie Centre for Ecumenism. The series is jointly presented by the Prairie Centre for Ecumenism\, St. Thomas More College\, Campion College\, the Saskatoon Theological Union\, the Roman Catholic Diocese of Saskatoon\, and the Archdiocese of Regina. \n\n\n\n\nDe Margerie Lectures\n\n\n\n\nDe Margerie Lecture 1 in Regina: “The Ecumenism of Blood: Solidarity in Trying Times” will examine the basic claim that a history of martyrdom serves as a resource for ecumenism. By exploring the stories and legacies of some particular martyrs\, we can see how unity and solidarity might be expressed\, but also the challenges and tensions – Wednesday\, Jan. 21 at 7:00 pm at Campion College\, 3825 Lee Gren Avenue\, Regina (also live-streamed at www.youtube.com/@stm1936).\n\n\n\nDe Margerie Lecture 2 in Saskatoon: “Christians Killing Christians: Reconciling Violent Pasts and Conflicting Martyrdoms” will look at one major barrier — the history of Christians killing Christians. During the Reformation\, the execution of fellow Christians was justified on theological grounds\, and some of those killed are honoured as martyrs by some churches. How do we reckon with this history in ways that do justice to the past\, and promote reconciliation and unity in the future – Thursday\, Jan. 22 at 7:00 pm at St. Thomas More College\, 1437 College Drive\, Saskatoon (also live-streamed at www.youtube.com/@stm1936).\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDe Margerie Workshops\n\n\n\n\nDe Margerie Series Public Workshop “Church Apologies\, Rites and Wrongs” – Friday\, Jan. 23 from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at Wildwood Mennonite Church\, 1502 Acadia Drive\, Saskatoon.
