of generosity 2017 Annual Report From the Executive Director 2017 was a remarkable and memorable diamond anniversary year for the Anglican Foundation of Canada as we celebrated 60 years of generosity from coast to coast to coast. The enthusiasm that Canadian Anglicans demonstrated toward their Foundation was inspiring to witness and share. To celebrate the 60th anniversary, the AFC team has compiled this report looking back at some of the events, the moments, and unique projects that made this year noteworthy. You will see that Canadian Anglicans made it possible to fund over $432,000 in building and project grants, $84,500 in theological bursaries, and $60,000 for the Request-for- Proposal projects to enhance and transform parish ministry in Canada, and many more through disbursements from the various trust funds. In an ever-shifting cultural landscape, the Anglican Foundation is committed to addressing changing times by fostering creative and innovative thinking when it comes to ministry. We are ready, as your reliable faith partner, to look with you toward the future with a progressive vision and an imaginative spirit. We extend heartfelt thanks to all of our donors whose generous gifts have made it possible for hundreds of individuals and parishes to achieve a dream, reach a goal, and try something new in the last year. The next sixty years will present challenges all their own, and I believe that Canadian Anglicans will do what they have always done. They will meet those challenges with a hearty spirit and abundant hope. 2 What We Do Mission and Values Since 1957 the Anglican Foundation of Canada has been a The Anglican Foundation of Canada seeks to foster generous champion of ministry across the country by: Anglican presence by providing abundant resources for innovative ministry and diverse infrastructure • building strong faith communities projects and theological formation throughout the • cultivating innovative expressions of faith Canadian church. • championing dynamic leadership for the next generation • supporting ministry in Canada’s Northern communities • refreshing dated infrastructure • sustaining collaborative interfaith dialogue Fred Hiltz • fostering youth initiatives INNOVATION Primate of Canada • advocating originality, creativity, and imagination evolving, adaptive, Chair open to ideas The Anglican Foundation is here for you when you need us, with an open mind and dependable support.

    Anglican Archives in Rupert's Land by WILMA MACDONALD

    Anglican Archives in Rupert's Land by WILMA MACDONALD Until 1870 the vast area which is now northern Quebec and Ontario, the prairies, Northwest Territories, Yukon, and portions of British Columbia was known as Rupert's Land. Prince Rupert, with sixteen associates, who were incorporated by Letters Patent as the Honourable the Hudson's Bay Company, was granted this vast territory in 1670 by King Charles 11. The new trading company acquired a region extending over 2,700,000 square miles. To protect its lucrative and increasing fur trade, the company successfully resisted attempts to colonize the territory. No effort was made to minister to the few Christian people in the widely scattered forts of the Hudson's Bay Company or to evangelize the native peoples until the early nineteenth century. In 1820, some six years after the tenacious Orkney Islanders established an agricultural settlement on the banks of the Red River, guided there by the Earl of Selkirk, the company sent out an Anglican chaplain, the Reverend John West (1778-1846). Although West was appointed to minister to the company's officers and servants, he also looked after the needs of the small Scottish colony and took great interest in the Indians. He established a school in the Red River settlement on a lot of land set apart for church purposes by thecompany (on which the Cathedral Church of St. John now stands in Winnipeg). West's efforts laid the foundations for missionary work and also marked the beginning of formal education in Manitoba. The small school he began in 1820 was followed by the Red River Academy, founded by John Macallurn and revived by Bishop David Anderson.

Where your Church is poor, enrich and empower it; where there is need for clergy, call them forth; where it is spread thin by geography, bind it with cords of love; where there is confl ict, bring reconciliation. Give to us, with all our brothers and sisters, that due sense of fellowship in your Kingdom, that you may be glorifi ed in all your saints, through Jesus Christ, your Son, our Lord. Amen.

    The Diocese of the Arctic ANGLICAN CHURCH of CANADA

    The Diocese of the Arctic ANGLICAN CHURCH OF CANADA Dean of the Diocese of The Arctic The Bishop of The Arctic is receiving letters of applications for rector of St. Jude’s Cathedral and Dean of the Diocese of The Arctic. The Diocese of The Arctic is extremely large, covering almost 4,000,000 square kilometres. It includes the territories of Nunavut, Northwest Territories and Nunavik (Northern Quebec). Most of our communities are relatively small and remote. Both English and Indigenous languages (mostly Inuktitut) are spoken. Our Diocesan office is in Yellowknife NWT and our Cathedral is in Iqaluit NU. Although we are an Anglican Church of Canada Diocese, our priorities differ considerably from those of the national church. Those outside the Diocese often refer to us as “conservative” or “evangelical.” Those description have some truth to them, but they fail to capture completely the uniqueness of Arctic faith and ministry. Our mission statement clearly states our priorities, which are: A) to proclaim the Good News of the Kingdom of God, as revealed through the life, death, and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, and through the power of the Holy Spirit, and B) to enable all members of the Church to live out their Christian calling in parishes, the wider church, in society at large, and in the world. This means that, as a Diocese, we are about evangelism. We want everyone in our community to know Jesus Christ. Following on this, we want to teach and encourage our people to become disciples who are living out in the teachings of Jesus Christ in all areas of their lives.
