Guest Speaker: Rev. Bob Mutlow, now retired from the United Church of Canada
- Rev. Bob Mutlow served as a United Church of Canada Minister on the prairies after being ordained in 1971. In 1979, Bob accepted a call to Silver Heights United in Winnipeg, and in 1988, two weeks before the Olympics came to Calgary for an interview beginning July 1, 1988, at Woodcliff United, where he served for twenty-one years. Following early retirement, Bob completed a four-year posting at Red Deer Lake United and then moved to do Pastoral Care part-time at McDougall United, where he currently is the volunteer Honorary Associate, serving on the Leadership Council, chairing the Outreach Ministry, and leading occasional worship services. Bob has been involved in several Calgary Interfaith events and was pleased to join the FCJ Board of Consultants. It has been interesting to serve as an Interfaith Representative on the FCJ Board; it is a great way to meet a whole new group of people and to enjoy the hospitality and spirituality of the FCJ Centre.
Discussion Topic: 100th Anniversary of the United Church of Canada – “An Opportunity to Honour the Past and Look to the Future”
- The United Church of Canada holds a unique place in Canadian history as the largest Protestant denomination in the country. It was officially formed on June 10, 1925, through the union of the Methodist Church, the Congregational Union of Canada, and most Presbyterian congregations, along with the General Council of Local Union Churches. This was a groundbreaking moment, as it was the first church union in the world to cross historical denominational lines, earning international recognition. For a century, the Church has been a beacon of faith, inclusivity, and social justice, shaping communities across the country with its message of love and service. As we honor this historic occasion, we reflect on the journey that brought us here and look forward to the continued impact of the United Church in the years to come.
