- Notes
- "The Rev. Scott Sharman, currently interfaith chaplain at the University of Alberta, and also the diocese of Edmonton's ecumenical officer, has been named as the church's animator for ecumenical and interfaith relations, the office of General Synod announced July 18 [2017]. Sharman, who will work out of Edmonton, will begin in his new role September 1 [2017]." "'I believe God has created the church as a place where we are called into relationship with difference for the purpose of modelling a different way of being -- a way of dialogue and learning rather than rivalry and tension', he said". "Sharman also teaches church history and Anglican studies at Newman Theological College in Edmonton, and serves as director of Ascension House, a small-scale intentional community for young people in Edmonton".
