The Wide Welcome

Within the long Christian tradition there have been times for excavations, deconstructions, and necessary leavings. And there have been a need for places to forge expansive, deeper pathways with God towards one another. The Abbey is a space to gather and create towards those pathways. For many Christians they’ve realized they do not or can not belong to the community of faith they had been given. But the longing for beauty, prayer and a community to ask robust questions withins still exist.

The Abbey is a place to do this work. Like abbeys of an earlier Christianity were places for communities to intentionally to do the work of faith, beauty, questions, community, The Abbey is a digital space for that community of practice.

And you are welcome here.

The Abbey is facilitated by Spiritual Director Jacqui Mignault who is also an ordained minister on Treaty 7 territory, specifically in Moh’kinsstis, which is the Blackfoot name for Calgary, AB. She serves the city’s post-secondary campuses and The Road Church community.
