Welcome to The Rooster Crows, brought to you by Lawrence Park Community Church.
Today, we are with Camp Scugog! It is a special place that holds a piece of our hearts in the LPCC community, and we hope to share why that is with you all right now.
Summer camps are a major part of the ministry of the United Church of Canada. The UCC currently runs over 50 camps across Canada, with a huge range in ages and interests. There are camps focused on wilderness exploration, arts and music, those specialized for LGBTQ kids, and more.

Joining us today are Camp Scugog’s Dana Leahey, Camp Director; Carol Rhynas, Assistant Director; and Emily Clark, Development Officer.

Thursday Dec 02, 2021
Christmas pageants would seem to be one of those things the pandemic could have killed, but instead, they morphed. Why do churches hang onto this way of telling the Christmas story, even moving them onto zoom? In this episode, we look at the first Christmas pageants, how they evolved, and why people keep doing them.

Life on a Canadian Reserve

Thursday Sep 16, 2021
What is it like to live on an Indigenous Reserve in Canada? Rev. Stephen talks with Leo Atlookan, a member of the Eabametoong first nation in Fort Hope, Northern Ontario. Like many reserves, the water from the taps is not safe to drink. Leo shares with us his experiences of living on a reserve that people love, but which many must leave due to a persistent lack of safe housing. The podcast is available on Apple, Spotify, Google Play and our website at www.lawrenceparkchurch.ca.

Racism and the Bible

Wednesday Jun 23, 2021
Has the Bible helped create modern racism? That’s the question Rev. Stephen explores in our latest podcast. He talks with Professor HyeRan Kim-Cragg of the University of Toronto. Professor Kim-Cragg draws on feminism, her own Korean roots and critical race theory to provide a rich and nuanced look at how the Bible has shaped our modern situation, and how it can help us fight back against racism. The Rooster Crows LPCC podcast is available on our website, and you can subscribe to it on Apple, Google Play and Podbean. Let us know what you think, and please share with friends. This is one more way LPCC is trying to share progressive Christianity with the world.

Spiritual traditions speak a lot about eternity, but what is it? Is eternity a long time, or something else? In this episode, we talk about religious and scientific ideas about time and eternity, with our special guest Professor Benjamin Olshin of Philadelphia. He is the author of Deciphering Reality, and has recently been writing a book on the nature of time.

Paradox
Thursday Mar 18, 2021
Thursday Mar 18, 2021
Paradoxes: can't live with them, can't live without them. Paradoxes are those parts of life where opposites come together and refuse to part, which is both frustrating and confusing. But spiritual traditions and folk tales tell us that appreciating paradox is the key to wisdom. So how can we learn to love paradoxes, and use them to reach the next level in our understanding of the world?
