More Than Enough is the 2022 theme for year-round stewardship education and development resources offered to Anglican and Episcopal parishes from TENS…the Episcopal Network for Stewardship. Our diocesan stewardship & congregational development committee is pleased to offer parish membership in this excellent resource centre for every congregation. A helpful array of downloadable print resources is instantly available at no cost, together with information about webinars and consultations, as well as additional material available through Forward Movement publications at modest prices.
TENS was founded in the late 1990s by General Synod in partnership with the Episcopal Church, our own diocese and several others in Canada and the States resulting from a series of successful international stewardship conferences. It is an association of church leaders who understand, practise, and proclaim God’s call to generosity. TENS’ vision is to provide training and resources for stewardship leaders across both national churches and beyond.
For more information and specifically how to access the resource library with our diocesan code, please contact committee member Archdeacon John M. Robertson, mobile phone 613.329.7540 or email, [email protected]. Also, check the TENS website www.tens.org or contact J. Davey Gerhard III, Executive Director, [email protected].
Another helpful resource is provided through Gillian Doucet Campbell, Engagement Leader, The Cathedral Church of All Saints, Diocese of Nova Scotia & PEI. Office 902.406.8978 or cell phone, 289.808.5370. Gillian is convenor of a multi-diocesan stewardship network, formerly the Ontario Stewardship Network, founded largely by leaders of our own diocese of Ontario in cooperation with several other dioceses in the Ecclesiastical Province of Ontario and General Synod in the late 1990s. Recently posted to Nova Scotia from Niagara, Gillian sends out frequent newsletters inviting participants to share in online webinars and Zoom meetings in a variety of stewardship related topics, including gift planning. This is a welcome continuation of many worthwhile in-person day-long conferences held twice a year or so in Kingston, Canterbury Hills (Niagara) or Toronto.
