SHAWN NEWTON, MINISTER

First Unitarian Church Toronto, ON

...brilliant lectures, visits to a variety of religious communities, and opportunities to see and/or take part in the worship practices of each religion. While I have an undergraduate degree from Harvard in comparative religion, I learned so much more this week than from all those years of studying!

GERMAINE KOVARY

...the excellence, the high caliber of the lectures, and the varied site visits - everything was superb! What a gift to be a student.

LUC BUSSIÈRES, PROFESSOR

Université de Hearst - Timmins, ON

As a university professor, I look for training every year. That week of learning & exploring the world's religions was my best investment in 30 years.
