Join Us On A Lenten Journey, starting February 17th
Brynn Phillips Lawrence is pleased to join the Henri Nouwen Society online community as a moderator in the Lenten discussion of In the Name of Jesus. Graduating with a degree in International Development from the University of Guelph, Ontario, Brynn spent three years teaching at a small Christian International School in South Korea. In this international community she filled the role of teacher, department supervisor, and mentor for her students. Upon returning to Canada in 2007 she joined the Romero House community of refugees, located in the west end of Toronto. Life in this beautiful community, founded by Mary Jo Leddy, involved being a companion to, and learning from, refugee claimants who have fled to Canada from all over the world. It was also an important time of learning what it means to live in community and be a good neighbour. Most recently she has taken on the role of Project Coordinator for the Nouwen Archive Letter Project, sponsored by the Henri Nouwen Legacy Trust and the Henri J.M. Nouwen Archives and Research Collection at the University of St. Michael’s College in Toronto. She is in this role because she believes that one letter Henri Nouwen wrote to an individual could make all the difference in the heart of another.
