From these and other discussions the Task Force hopes to receive constructive ideas as it prepares its Report for the Provincial Synod in 2012.
To assist these discussions and to create some context, the Provincial Task Force approached the Diocese of New Westminster’s Archivist Melanie Wallace and the Diocesan Communications Officer Randy Murray to assist with the project.
This request resulted in the planning and pre-production of a short film to be produced and shown at the Diocesan Council meetings throughout the “Province” prior to a discussion facilitated by a member or representative of the Provincial Task Force.
Principal filming took place at VST on August 18th with additional filming scheduled for the week of August 21st. The film is being produced for the Ecclesiastical Province of BC and Yukon by the Diocese of New Westminster’s film team of Cliff Caprani and Randy Murray. So far the project is progressing very well.
The D of NW’s Communications department is grateful for the outstanding support and cooperation of: Melanie Wallace, the staff of VST particularly Elaine Young and Archbishop John Privett and the Task Force.
