Common Ground, a Canadian Ecumenical Youth Ministry Forum took place in London, Ontario from May 31 to June 5, 2011. This was a five-day event for anyone whose work, life and ministry connects them in some way with young people in the faith community.
To my delightful surprise, this forum also connected me with some Newfie friends and colleagues. I am a mainlander and now back in my home province of New Brunswick; however, I did study at Queen's College in St. John's for three years and was a priest within the Anglican Diocese of Eastern Newfoundland for almost three years. I love Newfoundland!
During my flight to London, I passed the time reading the June edition of Downhome magazine. Naturally, when there were so many Newfoundlanders at the conference, I just had to get a picture of us all together during the closing banquet. As one Newfie to another said at the table, "Next to the Bible...Newfies (and Newfie wannabes) hold their issue of Downhome magazine close to their heart!"
