The 33 Anglicans—nine teenagers from four parishes along with 24 adults—left Ottawa August 13 for a weeklong visit to the capital of Nunavut, as part of the general effort of the diocese of Ottawa to support the diocese of the Arctic. In (in)finite November 2005, an arson fire destroyed much of St. Jude’s Cathedral, prompting the northern diocese to launch a national fundraising campaign.

Foodgrains. Excited by Grow Hope Manitoba, Dave CANADA4 Epp, Canadian Foodgrains’ Ontario rep- resentative, approached Dyck last winter Canadian Foodgrains tries new about doing something similar with the Niagara field. Dyck was once one of six or seven local farmers and a number of model of charity crop-growing corporate sponsors involved in growing crops for charity on the Bethesda-owned property. For various reasons, all the other farmers but Dyck had moved on. Copying Grow Hope Manitoba, Epp thought, might help re-energize the project. Inviting donors to sponsor their own parcel of land, project partners say, taps into an important need that fundraisers are seeing, especially among younger would-be donors, for more direct contact with a project than simply writing a cheque and trusting an organization to use the money as it sees fit. “The younger generation says, ‘It’s not that we don’t trust you—we want to be involved, and we want to see where it goes, and we want to know how we’re making a difference,’ ” Dyck says. “If they get excited by the mission, the money will get there, but if it’s just photo: simon chambers a budget, there’s no real energy,” agrees Donors to Grow Hope Niagara help pay the cost of raising the crop by sponsoring a parcel 5Larry of the land.

It was a point Archbishop John Privett, metropolitan of the ecclesiastical province of British Columbia and the Yukon, also agreed with. “There are huge questions about how we continue to grow disciples in these times and reflect more deeply on the mis- sion of our church,” he noted. “I am hoping that in the next three years we will have some energy and focus and time for that.” However, since it was the first meeting of bishops following July’s General Synod, Hiltz said they spent the bulk of their time debriefing about synod and the fallout resulting from the provisional approval of the motion allowing same-sex marriage.

CANADA4 Bishop raises $22K in ‘pedalling pilgrimage’ Tali Folkins staff writer Sometime before he was about to embark on his cross-province bicycle ride this June, Bishop Rob Hardwick, of the diocese of Qu’Appelle, was approached by someone wanting to know what the point of it was. Hardwick responded that the nine-day, 723-km ride was to be a pilgrimage for prayer and worship with parishioners, with the goal of raising $10,000 to support mis- sion and the Bishop’s Discretionary Fund. The man, Hardwick says, then handed over a cheque for $10,500 on behalf of his family. “We don’t want you to worry about, or concentrate your efforts on, fundraising,” the man said. “Go enjoy the ride and dedi- cate your time instead [to] what is more important, your Lord and your people.” The event represented the answering of just one of Hardwick’s prayers for the ride, the bishop says in a reflection that appeared in the Saskatchewan Anglican. Soon after the ride, more than $22,000 had already been raised, without even any overt fundraising on the bishop’s part, he said. Moreover, the nine days, the bishop says, were also “a time of intense prayer and fellowship,” as he stopped to lead worship in 19 places along the route. All 5Bishop Rob other similarly gruelling—yet spiritually God’s still small voice, even when his voice told, 377 people gathered in 19 churches Hardwick (left) rewarding—events of the summer: an suggests a different way. along the way, for morning prayer services, and his son, intensive study week for new bishops in “Without a doubt, all three events were Eucharists, mid-day prayer, evening prayer Robert (right), with Richmond, Va., and July’s General Synod in challenging, uncomfortable, demanding, and gospel jamborees—not to mention, he members of St. Richmond Hill, Ont. enlightening, and yet all were bathed in the says, potluck feasts.
