Mend: An Invitation from Jesus to Return to Land-based Repair."Are you searching for a meaningful way to respond to the challenges of colonization? Mend: An Invitation from Jesus to Return to Land-Based Repair offers a hands-on pathway for Christians in Canada and beyond to pursue a path of repairing right relations. Centred around the story of Zacchaeus from the Gospel of Luke (Luke 19:1–27), this book serves as a guide, recovering repair as central to discipleship and the restoration of communities to health. Let Mend invite you into a journey of hope, transformation and even joy—discover practical steps to embrace repair and experience the life-changing impact of following Jesus to repair the damage of the colonial project."Jodi is a Settler of Nordic/German heritage who lives as a guest on unceded Coast Salish territory on the west coast of Canada. She leads Red Clover Initiatives, which works to heal and restore relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous neighbours across Canada. This book grew out of Jodi’s PhD studies with NAIITS, an Indigenous Learning Community exploring Indigenous theology and Christian ethics. Plus — we’ll be highlighting several local authors and their brand-new books. It’s going to be an inspiring evening of stories, conversation, and community.James Prette- Five InvitationsVanessa Siemens Maher- 50 States of GriefRandy Hein- From Where We StandMatthew Church- Through DarknessKyla Ward- Under the SkyCopies of all the books will be available for purchase at the eventFriday, November 21 | 7:00–9:00 PM Church of Our Lord, hosted by The Table ChurchCost$10 in advance or $15 at the door.This collaborative event is brought to you by Vista: The Vancouver Island School of Theology and the Arts and New Leaf Network.At Vista, we love partnering with others to spark meaningful theological conversations, showcase local creativity, and celebrate the work of ministry leaders across Vancouver Island - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/victoria/a-book-launch-for-jodi-spargurs-new-book-mend/100001910673047519 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art, health-wellness - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: https://consumer.pxf.io/c/1339408/3151484/39691?partnerpropertyid=1191892&MediaPartnerPropertyId=1191892&svlink=14105511&level=1&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.com%2Fe%2Fa-book-launch-for-jodi-spargurs-new-book-mend-tickets-1910673047519 - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 11.98, max: 11.98, currency: CAD ## Event venue details - **city**: Victoria - **state**: BC - **country**: Canada - **location**: Church of Our Lord National Historic Site - **lat**: 48.42050700000001 - **long**: -123.3642715 - **full address**: Church of Our Lord National Historic Site, 626 Blanshard Street, Victoria, Canada ## Event Organizer details - **affiliate_id**: 10 - **organizer**: Kathleen Busch (https://allevents.in/org/kathleen-busch/22502076) ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: banner - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/295b1585b9d68b7b1d5ae26ac3adc253b02051c899f2a6b92fb3fb7ef731021a-rimg-w528-h856-dc010101-gmir.jpg?v=1762751377 - **Alt text**: thumbnail - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/74a423fae8083092f861eb89baae1d9783d5f6b94b13c74e748e36b0f287dabd-rimg-w400-h400-dc020102-gmir.jpg?v=1762751373 ## FAQs - **Q**: When is the event happening? - **A:** Fri, 21 Nov, 2025 at 07:00 pm - **Q**: Where is the event happening? - **A:** Church of Our Lord National Historic Site, 626 Blanshard Street, Victoria, Canada - **Q**: What is the ticket price? - **A:** starting from 11.98 up to 11.98 CAD - **Q**: Who is organizing the event? - **A:** Kathleen Busch - **Q**: What type of event is this? - **A:** art, literary-art, health-wellness - **Q**: Where can I find ticket details about A Book Launch for Jodi Spargur's new book Mend ? - **A:** You can find ticket details about this event on AllEvents. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "A Book Launch for Jodi Spargur's new book Mend", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/295b1585b9d68b7b1d5ae26ac3adc253b02051c899f2a6b92fb3fb7ef731021a-rimg-w528-h856-dc010101-gmir.jpg?v=1762751377", "startDate": "2025-11-21", "endDate": "2025-11-21", "url": "https://allevents.in/victoria/a-book-launch-for-jodi-spargurs-new-book-mend/100001910673047519", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Church of Our Lord National Historic Site", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "626 Blanshard Street", "postalCode": "V8W 3G6", "addressLocality": "Victoria", "addressRegion": "BC", "addressCountry": "CA" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "48.42050700000001", "longitude": "-123.3642715" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "VISTA is thrilled to be hosting a book launch celebration for Jodi Spagur and several other local authors", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "CAD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-04", "availabilityEnds": "2025-11-21", "validFrom": "2026-04-04", "lowPrice": "11.98", "highPrice": "11.98", "price": "11.98", "url": "https://allevents.in/victoria/a-book-launch-for-jodi-spargurs-new-book-mend/100001910673047519" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "CAD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-04", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-04-04", "url": "https://allevents.in/victoria/a-book-launch-for-jodi-spargurs-new-book-mend/100001910673047519", "price": "11.98", "name": "General Admission" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Kathleen Busch", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/kathleen-busch/22502076", "description": "Offering one on one Spiritual Direction and pastoral counseling in the Christian Tradition, and group Lectio Divina and retreats.
