Westview is an inclusive learning community with an Anabaptist heritage where participation comes before perfection. Together we aim to develop a sensitivity to the call of love, peace, justice, reconciliation, hope, beauty, and in these, God. Assisted by dialogue and learning, we hope to orientate our lives to the “Good News” found in Christ’s life and teachings. During the week Westview is a community hub for women in the Queenston Neighbourhood. At Westview Centre4Women you’ll find the same guiding principles in practice as women from all walks of life are offered a safe place that encourages respect and dignity for self and others.
Recorded at Westview on Feb. 14, 2021: Mystic hope is difficult to grasp, but it’s more than simply a desire for good outcomes, it’s a way of being in the here and now that holds on to life, however fragile and vulnerable it might be. The woman who anoints Jesus for burial finds a way to hold on to life even when she knows it’s about to be snuffed out.
