Alberta Christian Heritage Networks

The following links are start to developing Christian heritage networks.

1. Church History in Spruce Grove, Stony Plain and Parkland County 
2. St. Albert Churches - Historical Order 
3. Alberta Values Network
4. Alberta Christmas Network

The concept is for each group (denomination) to develop their own heritage network and to develop a common index.

Comments to this post will start a dialogue on how to do this?

Finding Common Ground

In reviewing Catholic and Protestant, views the common ground may be Christ and the common scriptures.  Church traditions and interpretations vary but these seem to be common ground for most Christians.  The prayer breakfast movement seems to have captured this in their meeting in the "Spirit of Christ".  The introduction to the Catholic Youth Bible and The Apostle's Creed.capture this. 

Comments to this post will start a dialogue on Common Ground.   Once we establish common ground we can set up a dialogue on Alberta Christian Education & Heritage to expand upon the Inspiring Education Dialogue started by the Alberta Minister of Education.

Participating in a FACTSnet Dialogue

We use the following discussion guidelines from the Alberta Ministry of Education Local Conversation Kit:

• Everyone has wisdom.
• We need everyone’s wisdom for the wisest result.
• There are no wrong answers.
• The whole is greater than the sum of the parts.
• Everyone will hear others and be heard.

Participation in a dialogue is done by commenting to blog posts.

There are several options to identifying your comment.  We suggest using the name/URL option as follows so comments from participants with similar backgrounds can be linked together if that becomes desirable.
