Online Resources
Maybe you have tried it, too? Spending many hours searching for resources on the internet without much
luck... The truth is that it isn't always that easy to know how to get about searching for resources on a specific topic.
Most often, the result is either disappointing or overwhelming.
On the Elders' Institute web site www.eldersinstitute.ca we
have recently updated our section containing resources from other web sites. It would include topics such as:
- Children & Youth
- Church Leadership
- Development, Service, Justice
- Education
- Evangelism
- Pastoral Care
- Polity
- Theology & Bible Study
|
If you would happen to know about other resources that might be interesting for others to know about, please don't
hesitate to suggest that resource to the Elders' Institute and we will consider listing it on www.eldersinstitute.ca.

Our next online course is...
Serving as a Ruling Elder: A Course in the Basics
What are the roles and responsibilities of elders? Join this course and explore the multifaceted answers to
this and other question with the Elders' Institute online. The purpose of the course is to focus on the role of the ruling
elder within The Presbyterian Church in Canada and its
congregations and courts.
The course is intended for anyone who is interested in eldership: new elders looking for some orientation to their
ministry, potential elders considering a call to eldership, and current elders wanting a 'refresher.'
The instructor is Rev. Karen Horst.
 Date Start: Monday, January 15, 2007
Date End: Saturday, February 24, 2007
