Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC) is mentioned several times in the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. What does it mean? How is it applied in Canada in relationship to resource development and First Nations, Metis, and Inuit? How does it relate to the Duty to Consult? Is it only ‘aspirational’? What are the issues that are arising? How can ‘settler peoples” stand in solidarity (e.g. responsible investment) with First Peoples in upholding FPIC?
John Dillon will provide an overview of the concept of FPIC, and together the presenters will explore the questions posed. Barbara Wilson, acting as moderator, will also speak to issues that Haida Nation and other BC First Nations are facing, particularly in respect to the Northern Gateway pipeline. Gkisedtanamoogk will bring the perspective of his Wanabaki people in relation to fracking in New Brunswick.

We Are All Treaty People (United Church of Canada)
Two or more nations engage in treaty–making. The presenters will explore what it means to exercise the rights and responsibilities of being treaty people today.
The Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples (1996) said “by reconciliation we mean more than just giving effect to a treaty hunting right or securing the restoration of reserve land taken unfairly or illegally in the past. It means embracing the spirit and intent of the treaty relationship itself, a relationship of mutual trust and loyalty, as the framework for a vibrant and respectful new relationship between peoples.”
The Truth and Reconciliation Findings refer to Treaties in Calls to Action 10, 14, 18, 24, 27, 42, 45, 46iv, 57, 86, 92. Embracing treaties is a basic tenet of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), which the TRC has recommended as a framework for reconciliation.
The presenters will help to consider some next steps for the church as people more fully embrace the spirit and intent of treaty relationship, and journey towards reconciliation.

How to Apply Demographic Insights to Shape Seeker-Sensitive Ministries (United Church of Canada)
How do people interpret demographic information? How do people merge statistics about trends with decisions about ministry? What kind of pastor does the church need to reach the public outside their doors? What kind of refreshments should be served on Sunday morning?

What kind of alternative worship service will reach seekers? How can fund raising strategies be customized to be more effective?
This webinar is for externally focused church leaders. Tom Bandy will explain how growing churches use demographic information to customize effective ministries. He will help people interpret data, and combine it with their own listening strategies.

Emergence Christianity (United Church of Canada)
This webinar explores what is meant by the words “Emergence Christianity,” where as a phenomenon it is occurring, and why. From there, presenters will attempt to summarize briefly, but usefully, the mind-set, theology, ecclesiology, and concerns that inform Emergence. They will conclude by looking at some of the implications of all of this as contemporary, latinized Christians, whether people have chosen to worship in, and attach themselves to, fresh expressions of Church or Inherited Church, Emergence Christianity or denominational Protestantism, hierarchical Roman Catholicism, synodical Anglicanism, or historic Orthodoxy.
