Diocesan Standing Committees routinely meet within the friendly confines of the Board Room at the Synod Offices at 401 West Georgia in downtown Vancouver or in the meeting room of a parish. The Communications Committee responding to an invitation from Bishop Michael to participate in a discussion at St. Timothy’s in Burnaby decided to hold its first meeting of 2012 at one of Burnaby’s Brentwood Mall locations of a well-known coffee shop chain.
CommComm Chair, Rev. Paul Strudwick shared with the group that many of his best meetings take place in coffee shops and CommComm members, Jane Osler and Nancy Southam agreed that the surroundings were conducive to a relaxing but productive meeting.
