Our Team

Rev. Christine Boyle, Director

Christine Boyle is a community organizer and storyteller, raised on Coast Salish territory in Vancouver, BC. She grew up in the United Church of Canada, and has an BSc in Urban Agriculture and First Nations Studies from UBC, and an MA in ‘Religious Leadership for Social Change’ from the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, California.

Six years ago Christine launched Spirited Social Change, an initiative aimed at engaging people across generations to explore the intersections between faith, spirituality, and our work for a better world. Through this work she initiated The Self Care Project, and co-created Fossil Free Faith: Canada’s Interfaith Divestment Network. She also works as the Minister of Community Life at Canadian Memorial United Church and Centre for Peace. She was ordained as a Minister in the United Church in 2017.

Chris regularly talks about feelings, practices yoga, worships food, contemplates purpose, nurtures plants, and preaches about the need to create social, political and economic systems that reflect our desire to care for one another. She has an teenage step-daughter and a toddler son. She actively believes that people are good.
