ANGLICAN DIOCESAN RESOURCE CENTRE

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).

Resource Centre News

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.
