News in brief: PWRDF, National Youth Project, ACIP News: 2018-2019 Anglica-Lutheran youth project launched

Notes: "Homelessness and affordable housing have been chosen as the theme of the latest Anglican-Lutheran National Youth Project. The project, 'Welcome Home', was launched August 17 [2018] at the Canadian Lutheran-Anglican Youth (CLAY) gathering, held in Thunder Bay, Ont., August 15-19 [2018]. A new National Youth Project launches every two years as a joint project of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada (ELCIC) and the Anglican Church of Canada. Tammy Kirkwood, director of youth and family ministry at St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Church Ellerslie in Edmonton, Alta., and part of the team that organizes the National Youth Project, said organizers wanted a topic that would resonate with youth across Canada. They hope, she said, that the project will inspire youth to take part in local initiatives in their home communities, like volunteering with local shelters and educating their family members and peers".
