- Notes
- The congregation of the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist [Evangelist] in Corner Brook, Nfld., raised the money to sponsor a family of Syrian refugees whom they welcomed in February 2016. "The whole family is learning English. One of their teachers is Ruth. She is a very devoted member of the cathedral congregation and supportive of all its outreach ministries. When her spouse who had been in long-term care for several years died she was absolutely lost. And then, in the midst of her grief, this opportunity to teach English emerged. Ruth says she cannot say enough about the deep joy and enrichment that this involvement with the Almaidamis has brought her". "Here is a lovely story reminding us that in extending hospitality to strangers, we may well indeed be 'entertaining angels unawares' (Hebrews 13:2). Insomuch as many would say Ruth has been an angel to the Almadaimi family, they have been all, in their own unique ways, been angels to her".
