Season of Renewal Initiative in the Anglican Diocese of Toronto with Judy Paulsen
How does a whole diocese lean into spiritual renewal without getting lost in programs or pressure? Judy Paulsen walks us through the Diocese of Toronto’s two-year Season of Spiritual Renewal and the surprising things that grew when congregations focused on prayer, Scripture, and simple, steady practices. Judy shares stories of communities rediscovering connection, courage, and a shared sense of purpose. It’s renewal that looks less like a campaign and more like a quiet turning of the soil—slow, honest, and deeply hopeful.
