The Parish and
Diocesan Services Office at 443 Queen St. maintains a Resource
Centre for the use of individuals and parishes. There are
many books and videos available on a wide range of topics,
including Biblical scholarship, parenting, a child's growing
faith, ministry development, parish evaluation and renewal,
and social issues. Some are geared towards personal edification
and some are more suited to group study. In addition, a
good collection of magazines, which have been published
by many different faith groups and interests, is available.
A complete catalogue
of the magazine, book and video holdings is available for
parishes and groups.
The Resource Centre regularly adds new titles to its collection.
If you are aware of a book or video that you would recommend
to be added to this collection, please do not hesitate to
contact the Programme Secretary at the number given below.
To make a reservation
or inquiry or to volunteer, please call the Parish and Diocesan
Services Office at 233-6271 extension 222. You may come
in during office hours (8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.) but it is
best to phone ahead for an appointment. This Resource Centre
is for the use of all members of the diocese. We will courier
your selections to you if you are reachable by Parbus (intercity
bus courier).

The Resource Centre
received a lovely thank you note from a high school student
who had borrowed some tapes on Anglicanism for a presentation.
She said, "They (the videos) were extremely helpful
and they enhanced my oral presentation a great deal."
It is always interesting to hear how the resources have
been used. If anyone has any stories to tell, the tales
would be gratefully received by your Resource Centre
The Resource Centre would also be grateful to receive donations
of current books and/or videos. Videos must be prerecorded
and not recorded from the TV or copied from another source.
The Prison Fellowship International set and the Icon set
were both donations. Our thanks go to those thoughtful donors.
We do have an acquisitions policy which will be referenced
when considering a donation.
