The Presbyterian Church in Canada and Project Ploughshares have chosen Adam Parsons for an eight-month internship at the Ploughshares offices in Waterloo, Ont. The internship is the first in a three-year partnership between the two bodies.
“My passion for my field of study and my faith makes this internship an ideal opportunity for me,” Parsons told the Record. “I can utilize and cultivate the skills I have developed in my academic, professional and faithbased life. I am extremely fortunate to have been selected.” Parsons is a member of Gale, Elmira, Ont., and has an MA in International Relations.
The Peace and Human Security Internship Program, funded by the PCC's undesignated bequests, provides an opportunity for a Presbyterian who is a recent graduate to work in an ecumenical setting and to learn how Project Ploughshares and sponsoring churches are addressing peace challenges.
