KoinoniaChurch

Ecumenical church in downtown Halifax. It is called Koinonia (meaning "Community") Church. It meets bi-weekly, so check LocalEvents for which Sundays.

We are a small faith community forming a solid foundation so we do no harm in practicing our faith.

The minister is Pastor ElaineWalcott. Her background is Baptist.

She herself is straight and has a husband and two sons but she truly feels that gays and lesbians have had a raw deal with church experiences and hopes that gay and lesbians might give this new church a try.

She is very committed to doing same sex marriages or unions and believes it is the right to have a church bless such a union if a same sex couple wishes.

The space for the services is donated by The Halifax Feast (JimPetrie.)

Place

Halifax Feast Co, in the Aliant building (aka Maritime Centre) . Use the Salter St entrance of The Halifax Feast, see LocalEvents for service times.

Time

Every other Sunday, 12:30pm. See LocalEvents for the days.

It is not a traditional church as folks would think. The congregation just sits at the tables and the stage is used as the altar.

The more choices we have for church the better. All are welcome.

Pastor Elaine can be reached at 876-8771 or mailto:koinonia@eastlink.ca

It's one of several gay friendly churches - more can be found on ReligionLinks. Going to church is a great way of MeetingPeople.
