Cathedral Town Hall Meeting Thank you to all those who registered for the Cathedral Town Hall meeting on Zoom on Sunday, May 24 @ 11:30 a.m. Specifically the agenda for our gathering is two-fold: 1) Report to the congregation on the work being done to clarify and strengthen the partnership between the Cathe- dral and Diocese in Cathedral Place. As we heard late last year Bishop Susan commissioned retired Archbishop Colin Johnson to review this partnership. His report to the Bish- op has resulted in a number of recommendations which the Bishop, cathedral corporation and senior diocesan leaders have been considering and pursuing in recent weeks. This is an opportunity for us to hear about that work. 2) Update from the Parochial Committee on the status of the interim and search processes and the Committee’s Cathedral Prayer Line continuing work. In these particularly difficult times, life can be over- whelming, family, friends, health concerns, relationships, financial problems. Could you use prayer?

CATHEDRAL CONNECTIONS Thursday, 21 May 2020: Ascension Day The Ascension of Christ is the main theme of the east window. Only two of the gospels refer to the Ascension, and each devotes only one verse to the event. “He was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God” in Mark 16:19. St Luke says “And, it came to pass, while he was blessing them, he was parted from them and carried up into heaven” (24: 51). We have to turn to the Acts of the Apos- tles for a longer version, four verses (Acts 1: 9-12). In this account we learn that the location was Mount Olivet, that he was taken into a cloud, and angels spoke to the apostles. The window was designed by Ballentine and Allen of Edinburgh (makers of the Suffer the Little Children window), and manufactured by McCausland in Toronto. The dedica- tion in 1885 made it to the newspaper, and in those days the newspaper reported on the sermons, which were prob- ably the major events of Sundays. OFFICE OF THE BISHOP OF NIAGARA Anglican Church of Canada May 21, 2020 Dear Terry, Sharyn, Dan, and the Resting and Hygiene Centre volunteers, Thank you so much for your work to ease hunger and bring peace of mind to some of the most vul- nerable people in your community during this unsettling time. Your commitment to be the hands and feet of Christ is truly inspiring and I am deeply appreciative of your dedication. I am grateful for your compassionate response in supporting those who are in need during the COVID-19 pandemic. Thank you for your commitment to those who need it most by providing a place for people to come and experience care and compassion along with a hot cup of coffee, hy- giene essentials, and simply a place to relax away from the elements. Your commitment to the well -being of our neighbours is deeply appreciated. I am pleased to share with you a gift of $750 from the Diocese of Niagara Pandemic Response Fund, a modest but most sincere affirmation of your good work to care for our neighbours. This gift is made possible by the generosity of so many people from all corners of our diocese who want to help by supporting your ministry. With my deepest gratitude, Bishop Susan Bell The Right Reverend Susan J.

We value our heritage of biblical faith, reason, liturgy, tradition, bishops and synods, and the rich variety of our life in community. We acknowledge that God is calling us to greater diversity of membership, wider participation in ministry and leadership, better stewardship in God’s creation and a strong resolve in challenging attitudes and structures that cause injustice. Guided by the Holy Spirit, we commit ourselves to respond to this call in love and service and so more fully live the life of Christ. L’ Église anglicane du Canada ÉNONCÉ DE MISSION En tant que partenaires à part entière de la communion anglicane internationale et de l’Église universelle, nous proclamons et célébrons l’Évangile de Jésus-Christ par notre liturgie et nos gestes. Nous accordons une place de choix à notre héritage composé de notre foi biblique, de raison, de liturgie, de tradition, de notre épiscopat et de nos synodes, et de la grande richesse de notre vie en communauté. Nous reconnaissons que Dieu nous appelle à une plus grande diversification dans notre communauté chrétienne, à une participation plus étendue dans le ministère et dans les prises de décision, à un engagement plus profond dans la création que Dieu nous a confiée, et à une remise en question des attitudes et des structures qui causent des injustices. Guidés par l’Esprit Saint, nous nous engageons à répondre à ces appels avec amour et esprit de service, vivant ainsi plus profondément la vie du Christ.

    The Office of the Metropolitan of Ontario The Anglican Church of Canada __________________________________________________ The Most Reverend Anne Germond Metropolitan of the Ecclesiastical Province of Ontario “A Word from One is a Word from All” Messages from the Ontario House of Bishops March 20th, 2020 Dear friends, In the past week, your inboxes, newspapers, and news feeds have been overloaded with information about the coronavirus, COVID-19, some of it deeply worrying. 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.
