P1: Plenary #1 (9:15-10:00) Calvin and Maggie Odhner

Join Calvin and Maggie for a true grit picture of marriage as it travels over the rocky and rowdy places of life.

Margaret Vanz Odhner, BSN, is a 29 year veteran registered nurse with a specialty in Critical Care.  She is the mother of 5 children and is currently a “stay at home mom” residing in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Maggie loves people, homeopathy and babies and often can be seen with all three.  With a life and marriage full of failures and success Maggie feels she has grown through the sorrow and joy and is grateful for the unceasing love she feels from her Maker.


Reverend Calvin Acton Odhner, MA, MFT, MDiv., is currently Assistant to the Pastor of the Olivet New Church and School in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Together with his wife Maggie (Van Zyverden) they watch/manage a family of 5 that is mostly out of the house but always in touch.  Calvin is enjoying teaching, counseling and preaching in the Toronto church society and looks forward to discovering new ways to spread the church. He is also a self-described guitar-playing-Laureliting-SWETtie-Warrior with a passion for men’s work and healing.
