Intercultural Ministry Programs

at Dentonia Park United Church

Toronto Southeast Presbytery in The United Church of Canada

Following suggestions will be prioritized by DPUC mission and ministry development team for future enactment.

 

Jesus ministry has been the ministry of repentance, i.e.,  turning around from old ways. Many church leaders focus on repentance for simple negligence or confessing sins. But now we call all the church to turn around from old ways with critical evaluation. This way of life calls the church and society to do critical reflection on past, present and future actions both successful and failure.
