United Church minister Seiichi Ariga’s very personal account of his four years as a university chaplain at UBC snapshots the “not to be served, but to serve” heart of true Christian ministry.
Ariga’s memoir traces this ministry’s remarkably wide-ranging path, spinning out from weekly Friday Night Dinners and Discussions, to touching personal need responses, encounters with unexpected angels on university walkways or at a student Kristallnacht rally, to a suicide’s flower memorial on the brink of Niagara Falls, even to conversations at the Taizé Community in France.
Seiichi Ariga is an engineer, physicist, therapist, and much loved Christian minister. He is also a musician of professional quality. In this affecting little book, he reprises an ancient tune which many hope struggling churches and ministers, far beyond university campuses, will learn to sing again.
