The Ontario House of Bishops want to end the week by offering you their personal words of hope and encouragement – Gospel words. Thank you for the extraordinary ways in which you are ‘being the church without being in the church’. Bishop John Chapman – Diocese of Ottawa I am delighted to say to all the people whom God loves, and I have said it already to the people of the diocese of Ottawa, the Church is not closed! Our Churches are more vibrant, alive, brash, responsive, and hopeful than ever. There is no detouring our Call. All the baptised are called to hope-filled and grace-filled service. Bishop Michael Bird – Assisting Bishop Diocese of Ottawa What I am seeing as we faithfully respond to this pandemic crisis is a profound movement of the Holy Spirit that has empowered and mobilized many clergy and lay leaders to initiate innovative and creative new ideas, allowing the work of the church to continue. This will, no doubt, prove to be a launching pad for a renewed and invigorated ministry that reaches out to and engages with the people of this generation in exciting new ways.

  • Anglican-Lutheran Cycle of Prayer 2020-2021
    An Anglican-Lutheran Cycle of Prayer for Canada Advent 1, 2020 to the Reign of Christ, 2021 Introduction One of the characteristics of the Christian community throughout the ages has been our commitment to pray for the whole world, but especially for our Christian sisters and brothers in churches closely linked to our own. Anglicans and Lutherans in Canada are accustomed to praying for the Anglican Communion and the Lutheran World Federation. As churches in full communion, it is also appropriate for us to pray for our immediate Anglican and Lutheran neighbours. The Joint Anglican-Lutheran Commission has designed this cycle for use in Canadian Anglican and Lutheran congregations and communities in Sunday liturgies throughout the year. For most Sunday there are intentions for specific dioceses/synods/groups in both the Anglican Church of Canada (ACC) and the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada (ELCIC). In some cases, because of differences in the numbers of local and regional jurisdictions between the two churches, the ELCIC intention for a given week may instead be substituted by a topical intention shared in common by the ELCIC/ACC. Some weeks also provide an additional common ACC/ELCIC intention for an event or concern associated with that week. Prayer cycles can be overwhelming and ‘crowded’ pieces of liturgies. Care needs to be exercised in setting a context: we are intentionally, as churches in full communion, holding each other in prayer. Some words of explanation may be needed to set this cycle of prayer in context. In addition to using this cycle of prayer, congregations may wish to pray regularly by name for: • the Primate and National Bishop • the diocesan and synodical bishops in whose region the congregation is located and • the dean of the Lutheran Area and for the Anglican archdeacon and/or regional dean in whose region the congregation is located • the members and work of the Joint Anglican-Lutheran Commission (Note: At the time of writing, the information contained herein is as accurate as can be.

But its economic effects have also been profound— have prompted varied responses from dioceses across the Anglican Church of Canada seeking to maintain their financial health. To get a better sense of how dioceses are weathering the financial storm of the pandemic, the Anglican Journal reached out to executive staff members of Anglican dioceses across Canada. The resulting feedback offered a diverse picture. Some dioceses were able to provide more detailed responses to our inquiries, and not all were able to contribute to this report. But from PHOTOGRAPHICS the information the Journal received, a number of common trends emerged. Perhaps the most universal trend was the MORRIS : In October and as part of a years-long plan, the diocese of Fredericton sold some underused property near its cathedral. cost savings incurred from reduced travel Property sales—some planned, others in response to financial pressures—have helped some dioceses fill budgetary gaps.

  • Annual Report 2016
    Making a difference every day 2016 Annual Report From the Executive Director 2016 was quite a year for the Anglican Foundation of Canada. From ground-breaking projects to inspiring stories, 2016 was indeed memorable. By imagining more, Canadian Anglicans made it possible to fund over $300,000 in building and project grants, $100,000 in student bursaries, and $40,000 for the Request- for-Proposals addressing the Truth and Reconciliation Calls to Action. The Anglican Foundation remains committed to addressing changing times with strong and steady support for people of faith, progressive vision, and an innovative spirit. We are your reliable faith partner, doing things that matter most to you. Why? Because we believe in you. Because together, we can do more than we can ask or imagine! To celebrate 2016, the AFC team has compiled this report looking back at some of the projects and moments that made this year quite remarkable. We extend profound thanks to many generous and dedicated Canadian Anglicans whose donations have helped hundreds of individuals and parishes achieve a dream. Anglicans from coast to coast to coast are making it possible for AFC to be well positioned to offer generous support to Canadian faith communities and individuals as they think big and dream imaginatively into the future. 2 What We Do Mission and Values Since 1957 the Anglican Foundation of Canada has been a The Anglican Foundation of Canada seeks to provide generous champion of ministry across the country by: abundant resources for: • innovative ministries • building strong faith communities • Anglican presence • cultivating innovative expressions of faith • diverse infrastructure • championing dynamic leadership for the next projects generation • supporting ministry in Canada’s Northern communities across the Canadian Church.
