This series contains volumes 1-50 of the newsletter “Bridging” spanning from 1991-2016 and produced by the Congregation’s Associate Core Team (ACT) members. Two volumes were published each year, usually in the winter and summer, but sometimes in the fall and spring. This newsletter was intended to inform people about the Associate relationship in the Congregation and to keep the Associates up to date with news about events. Each newsletter has its own theme, such as, service, relationship with the Divine, and longing for belonging. Common sections throughout the newsletters are poems, “mark your calendar” sections, suggestions for readings, news about events, fundraisers, and retreats, introduction of new members, and updates from various Associate communities. These communities include Maidstone, St. Thomas, Windsor, Chatham, Kingsville, Woodstock, Simcoe, London, Grand Bend, and Sarnia. Also included is a coloured drawing of a bridge that is crossing a small creek with trees and other flora surrounding it that was made for the newsletter.
