ANGIE TYSSELAND THEATRE DEDICATION CELEBRATION


Dianne Mesh, Rector, conducting the dedication Eucharist
  
The Refinery Art & Spirit Centre with St. James' Anglican church dedicated and named their performance theatre The Angie Tysseland Theatre.  The celebration took place on Thursday, November 30, 2010 at the Centre.  Angie was Music Minister at St. James' for many years. As the celebration brochure noted, in that role she was "choir director, pianist, organizst, worship leader, teacher, composer and founding Artistic Director of the Refinery."

The service pamphlet makes it clear on the front page that 'welcome' is not a platitude but a refreshing action statement as follows:


"WHO IS WELCOME HERE? YOU ARE WELCOME HERE?



Janet Clarke presenting the Homily

 Whatever your gender, gender identity or sexual orientation;

Whatever your personal and private history;

Whatever your age, race, language, or country of origin;

Whatever your marital status or family type;

Whatever your education, income, or employment, wherever you live."
