"From Brokenness to Wholeness": CCSTVAN 2025 Pastoral Retreat
CCST Vancouver hosted a pastoral retreat this June at the Epiphany Chapel (UBC), gathering more than 20 local pastors for a day of reflection, learning, and renewal. Rev. Dr. Andres Tang offered a devotional message and a theological reflection on trauma theology. Rev. Dr. Joyce Chan guided participants through an experiential activity inspired by the Japanese art of kintsugi, inviting them to reflect on experiences of brokenness and restoration. Rev. Dr. Enoch Yim introduced the practice of the labyrinth walk as a spiritual exercise for grounding ourselves amid life’s uncertainties. The retreat provided a meaningful time of learning, silence, and fellowship, concluding with communion as a shared symbol of healing and renewal in the body of Christ.
