"Just as we have many parts in one body — and all the parts do not have the same function — so we, who are many, are ONE in Christ and everyone parts of one another. We have gifts that differ according to the grace that was given to us.”

- Roman 12:4-6

equitable . inclusive . diverse

Join us in acknowledging that the Quinte region is traditionally home to Anishinaabe (Ah- nish-in-ah-bay), Huron-Wendat (Huron-wen-dat) and Haudenosaunee (Ho-den-o-show-nee) people. We are grateful to be orchestrated by the Most High to live, play, learn, and serve with them, on this land, in this time --- for a higher calling and greater purpose.

Our acknowledgement represents our recognition of this region's longer history, one predating the settlement of the earliest European immigrants. The churches in our region are many. Our direct call-to-action is for local churches, institutions, organizations, small local businesses and community members to take time this year, to engage in truth and reconcili-action to foster peace and unity for us all; as ONE united race of people. We are hue(mans); regardless of our gender, racial, cultural and alternative identities.

While Equity, Inclusion and Diversity policies and procedures are essential, real change stems from the heart. We're calling the Quinte region to observe the bodies of water on our planet -- they collectively reject and transcend imaginary lines of division, labels and identity they've been assigned and gather into ONE ocean. Similarly, we look forward to pacing towards labels of identity that unify us as humans while honouring and celebrating our similarities and differences to abolish systematic injustice and close Equity gaps for marginalized people together as ONE people.
