2009 theme speaker: Rt. Rev. Mark MacDonald - the Anglican Church of Canada's National Indigenous Bishop
Bishop MacDonald will use the theme of "We are one communion with creation" as the focus of his presentations.

Valerie Tutson - Stories and such
Making a repeat visit to 53rd Weekend, Valerie Tutson has been telling stories at schools, churches, libraries, festivals and conferences since 1991.
Valerie draws her stories from around the world with an emphasis on African traditions. Her repertoire includes stories and songs she learned in her travels to South Africa, her experiences in West Africa and stories from African American history. In addition, she has gained a reputation for her exciting retelling of age-old Bible stories. Those who heard Valerie at 53rd Weekend in 2004 will remember her story of the baptism of Jesus told through the eyes of a child!
