month, CTA members held an election to fill a vacant spot on the Vision Council, and Marie Venner was
selected for the position. Below is some information about Marie and her involvement in Call To Action: Marie Venner has graduate training in dispute resolution and
was on a national roster of environmental conflict resolution professionals. She managed community
and resident initiatives for Mercy housing, a 17-state Catholic non-profit at that time. Marie was on the Colorado Chapter Board

that anti-racism and anti-oppression work is integrally connected with system change. Congratulations
to Marie, and thank you for taking on this important role in our organization! Thanks, as well, to our
other candidate, Norine Hemping, and to all of our members who participated in the election process. Did you not receive an online ballot

The Canadian Forum on Theology and Education presents Tina Beattie and Catherine Cavanagh Hosting a forum entitled “Dignity, Difference and Dialogue: Theology
in Context” April 27th
and April 28th, 2018 St. Volodymyr Cultural Center, 1280 Dundas Street
West, Oakville Ontario L6M 4H9 Website: http://cfotae.ca/ ‘Dignity, Difference
and Dialogue: Theology in Context’ will address issues
of diversity and inclusion specifically in the Canadian Catholic school context as a reflection of Catholicity within society
as a whole. How we struggle with issues such as race, gender, LGBT concerns, religious difference and poverty in our
Catholic schools will interest both teachers and non-teachers alike. Schools must navigate tensions between what the Church
hierarchy wants our students to learn, what Christ teaches, and what society promotes. To examine questions of equity and inclusion our presenters, Tina and Cathy will draw on perspectives on Catholic
Social Teaching, theologies of hospitality, teachings on conscience, biblical teaching, and maybe some postcolonial theology
and some of the philosophy of Emmanuel Levinas. Participants will have opportunities to share relevant stories from within
our Catholic school systems; How have we dealt with LGBT students? GSAs? Aboriginal students? Muslim students? Atheists?
Students with disabilities? . What can we learn from our experiences? There will be
opportunities to reflect and discuss questions arising from these perspectives. How do we each address these questions
in our lives? Where is God in this? Registration
