  • ELECTIONS for GENERAL SYNOD Under the Constitution of The
    Revised: November 14, 2011 ELECTIONS FOR GENERAL SYNOD Under the Constitution of the Diocese of Toronto and the Constitution of the General Synod, Synod is required to elect nine clergy and nine lay members to serve as members of General Synod. The next General Synod meeting will be held from July 3 to 7, 2013 in Ottawa, Ontario. The General Synod of the Anglican Church of Canada is the church’s chief governing and legislative body. It is made up of members from every diocese and all three orders (lay people, priests, and bishops) from across the country. It meets every three years during which members exchange information, set policy for the Church and pass resolutions and canons. In years when the General Synod does not meet, the Church is governed by the Council of General Synod (CoGS), effectively a smaller subcommittee with a similar mandate and similar powers. This year, nominees for General Synod were asked to submit approximately fifty words about their involvement at the diocesan, parish and community level. The following are the biographies submitted by the nominees. GENERAL SYNOD – Nine Clerical Members to be elected o The Rev. Jenny Andison – St. Paul, Bloor Street - Jenny was ordained in 1997 and first served in a multi-point parish in the Diocese of Ontario. She then spent a year at St. Alban's Church in Tokyo and two years at St. Timothy, Agincourt. She then moved, with her husband Tim, to London, England for five years where she served as Associate Vicar at St. James, Clerkenwell, a church reboot in the heart of the city.

  • COVID-19 Up-Date
    The Office of the Metropolitan of Ontario The Anglican Church of Canada ___________________________________________________ The Most Reverend Anne Germond Metropolitan of the Ecclesiastical Province of Ontario Friday 13th March, 2020 Dear People of God, On behalf of the Bishops of Ontario, I am writing to say how grateful we are for the way in which you have so readily responded to the new guidelines with respect to protective measures in our churches during this season when COVID – 19 is affecting so many people around the world. We are coordinating our efforts, united in our approach, and monitoring the situation closely. The bishops of the province are ready to act together should the public health officials ask us to take different or more drastic measures. Plans are in place for online prayer and worship resources to be posted on the provincial website should it become necessary to temporarily suspend communal worship, as well as for those in self- isolation or who are ill with the virus and receiving care. Our synod offices have ways for staff to work from home, so as much as possible, we are striving to maintain the services we provide to sustain the work of the Church. We encourage you, as people of faith, to find creative ways to stay connected during this time and to keep praying for and with each other. In the meantime, it is our hope that our mission and ministry in the Church and in the world, will continue for the sake of the Gospel. Like so many others we are involved in frontline ministry and our faith summons us to reach beyond our fears and step out in faith confident in God’s abiding love.
