    I don't understand Vancouver house prices

    Wow. I hope my salary quadruples in 10-12 years. (Har har.)

    I don't understand Vancouver house prices

    Kimmio, I hear you. I honestly don't understand house prices at all. A house the same model as my parents' place sold for over $700k - and it cost my folks just under 200k in 1987. We're talking 4X the value in almost 30 years. And it would be considered a 'small' house for where we live...

    UCC Affirms Full Communion With United Church Of Canada

    This is indeed very exciting... especially since there are other churches we are considering "mutual recognition" with (the 'churchspeak' term) including the Presbyterian Church in the Republic of Korea and the United Church of Christ of the Philippines.

    Fish for General Council

    I'm lurking! I'm still listening in, though. I can't commit to being much help at/before GC42, though, because I'll be there as staff and will most likely be run off my feet! And before, I'm taking some pre-emptive vacation, so won't be very reachable. But I'm happy to help contribute...

    Inclusive language is language that allows the most amount of receivers to be included in it. Gender neutral language would be part of that, as language that includes the whole gender spectrum. Inclusive language would also include language about family relationships (not everyone has a...

    Fish for General Council

    Well, I'm there to work. I'm sure I'll be totally crazy. But I know @revjohn will be there as a commissioner. And did I hear someone's daughter is going?

    Fish for General Council

    Would it be a silly idea to have 'avatar' pictures in the net? Like, little square graphics of fish with a name underneath?

    Fish for General Council

    I think it'd be pretty fun to send something from 'the net'. Maybe a bunch of different fish, to represent us all?

    Fish for General Council

    Seeler, Newfoundland is all about cod. Cod cheeks, cod tongues, fried cod, salted cod... you name it. They do indeed have access to trout and altantic salmon, haddock, etc. But mostly, it's all about the cod.

    Next Federal Election

    So has anyone taken a gander at the UCC 2015 Election Kit? I haven't really glanced at it yet.

    Naramata Centre shutting until end of August
