Sun March 9 (note: this 40-Minute Forum was be held following the 10:30am service): Spiritual care provider, Georgia Omwa, shared some of her rich experiences in being a woman in ministry. Georgia has a Master's in Theological Studies from Regent College. She is originally from Uganda, studied in Kenya and is married to a Kenyan Anglican priest, and now works in Vancouver providing spiritual care at two Providence Living care facilities.

A note on liturgy:
As part of our celebration of women's many contributions to the Church, in addition to our 40-Minute Forums, we have sought to intentionally feature women in our service leaflet and in our liturgy. Some of the ways we have done this include:
- Drawing from A Sanctified Art, a sacred arts collective, featuring women's art on the cover;
- Using the Collect of the Day from Prayers for an Inclusive Church;
- Drawing on the Inclusive Psalter for psalms where possible;
- Featuring female hymn writers and composers in our worship.
Stay tuned for a reading list of female spiritual authors!
