The Rev. Canon Claudette Taylor and a group of clergy and laypeople from across the diocese, together with the Social Justice & Advocacy Committee, are planning an online Lent book study on Encampment: Resistance, Grace, and an Unhoused Community by the Rev. Canon Maggie Helwig, incumbent of St. Stephen in-the-Fields. The study series aims to deepen participants’ understandings of the complex issue of homelessness and inspire them, in the light of the gospel, to seek justice for and solidarity with those who are unhoused. It will be held on five Wednesday evenings in Lent from Feb. 25-March 25. All are invited to participate.

Canon Helwig won the 2025 Toronto Book Award for Encampment, a nonfiction work about the encampment of unhoused people that existed outside St. Stephen’s from 2022-2024 and the efforts of Canon Helwig and the ministry team to defend and minster to it. The book was reviewed in the May issue of The Anglican.
