Prairie Centre for Ecumenism
"At the Prairie Centre for Ecumenism, we seek to call all Christian churches, regardless of denomination, to the goal of visible reconciliation and unity for the world's sake, expressed in one faith and one eucharistic fellowship in Christ." (cf. Eph. 4) The Prairie Centre for Ecumenism has been in operation since 1984. Our ministry involves the promotion of inter-church dialogue, understanding and co-operation. In addition, the Centre also promotes inter-religious encounters in our communities. For further information about the Centre, see the history page. The Prairie Centre for Ecumenism is sponsored by six denominations. We work in close partnership with the Canadian Council of Churches, the Canadian Centre for Ecumenism, the Association of Interchurch Families, and other ecumenical ministries.
Where are we?
The PCE offices are located in north-west Saskatoon at Avenue C and 45th Street. We share facilities with the Mennonite Central Committee, Ten Thousand Villages, and other community agencies. Contact us Prairie Centre for Ecumenism
Sunday preaching
Our director, Rev. Dr. Jan Bigland-Pritchard, is available about once a month to preach in various churches. She will bring a message on Christian unity and reconciliation that will be of great benefit to all. If you wish to have her speak in your church, give us a call to arrange a date.
Our library
There are about 2,000 books, most of which are available for borrowing for one month, on a number of ecumenical and interfaith topics. The complete book collection is accessible through our public access catalogue. Besides some videos, we also have a vertical file on many topics, with documents, news articles, and general information. Come and see what we have -- students, clergy, and laypersons -- we will be able to help you!

Waves of Change: Building People-Centred Economies
May 21-24, 2008, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon
Each year, the Canadian Community Economic Development Network holds a national conference to bring together those who support community-based efforts to improve social conditions and create economic opportunities in Canada and beyond. The 2008 National Community Economic Development (CED) Conference is hosted by the Canadian CED Network in partnership with Quint Development Corporation.
As the premier CED event in Canada, the conference aims to:
• Strengthen CED practitioners and organizations
• Advance a pan-Canadian policy agenda for CED
• Contribute to skills development and capacity building
• Increase the profile of CED as a viable approach to the economic revitalization of Canadian communities.
Each year, the conference attracts over 400 CED practitioners, civil society representatives, civil servants, business and co-operative developers, and academics for dozens of learning and information sharing sessions, inspirational keynote speakers, networking opportunities, and local site visits. The annual conference provides an opportunity for participants to pause and reflect on our grassroots beginnings, while coming together to develop a vision for what we wish to achieve.
**Registration will be open mid-February 2008**
