  • Council of the North Prayer Cycle
    Council of the North Prayer Cycle The Council of the North began in 1970 when the National Executive Council of the General Synod of the Anglican Church of Canada appointed a taskforce to consider the challenges and opportunities for ministry in the northern parts of Canada. The following year this taskforce was replaced with the Primate’s Task- force on the Church in the North. In 1973 this taskforce became the Primate’s Council on the North. By 1976 this body had evolved into the present Council of the North. The Council of the North is made up of all bishops of the assisted diocese. They administer the General Synod’s grants for northern mission. The council meets twice a year to consider the needs of the mission and ministry of the Church in the north. It reports to both the Council of General Synod and to the meeting of The shaded area highlights the geography of the Council General Synod. of the North. 85% of the land. 15 % of the people. Our strength! Our challenge! Our ministry! The Bishops of the Council of the North believe that their purpose is, under God, to equip one another in their mission to enormous and thinly populated dioceses; The Council of the North is a grouping of financially assisted dioceses, which are to offer mutual encouragement and pastoral care, hope to the oppressed, and chal- supported through grants by General Synod. There are 9 dioceses, the Anglican lenge to the complacent. In all they do, they strive to be a sign of the Kingdom Parishes of the Central Interior and the Archdeaconry of Labrador.

  • Calendar of Intercessions
    CALENDAR OF INTERCESSIONS THE TERRITORY OF THE PEOPLE Includes The Anglican Cycle of Prayer (ACP) The Anglican Church of Canada (ACC) Companion Diocese of Montreal (MTL) The Evangelical Lutheran Church of Canada (ELCIC) April - June 2021 MISSION STATEMENT “We walk together with all God’s people, journeying into a new creation, and trusting with faith and courage in the guidance of the Holy Spirit. We love as Jesus loves, living with integrity and openness, and are committed stewards of God’s world.” [Approved May, 2011] FROM THE CONSTITUTIVE ASSEMBLY OF THE ANGLICAN PARISHES OF THE CENTRAL INTERIOR (June 2002) These three affirmations have guided us as we became the Anglican Parishes of the Central Interior: • We affirm that the Anglican Parishes of the Central Interior needs to gather together as a family of God. • We affirm that this time of transition has been given to us as a gift to explore possible new directions towards which the Spirit might be calling us. • We affirm that God is calling us to share in Jesus’ ministry of healing and reconciliation. These affirmations form a kind of mission statement, but are not exhaustive. They help us to honour the ongoing task of discerning our ministry and mission together. We acknowledge our desire to walk faithfully on a path in which we carry the best of who we were into a living and holy present and towards an unknown and hopeful future. As you pray for persons, parishes and ministries, keep at the heart of your prayer an openness to listen to the direction God calls us to travel together.

Skelton Elected the 12th Metropolitan of the Ecclesiastical Province of BC & Yukon RANDY MURRAY (WITH FILES FROM DOUGLAS MACADAMS, QC, ODNW) Communications Officer & Topic Editor Melissa M. Skelton, Bishop of the diocese of New West- minster was elected Metropolitan of the Ecclesiastical Province of BC and Yukon on the first ballot at 9:40am on Saturday, May 12, 2018. That office comes with the honorific, “Archbishop.” Archbishop Skelton is the first woman to be elected an Archbishop in the Anglican Church of Canada and the second woman in the Anglican Communion with the title Archbishop. The Most Rev.

Archbishop Goldsworthy was installed February 10, 2018. The Most Rev. Katherine Jefferts Schori was elected June 18, 2006 to a ten-year term as Presiding Bishop (Pri- mate) of the Episcopal Church but that office does not come with the title, Archbishop. The Ecclesiastical Province of BC and Yukon is one of four Provinces that comprise the Anglican Church of Canada and is made up of six dioceses: • Yukon • Caledonia (northern British Columbia) • Territory of the People (central British Columbia, formerly the Anglican Parishes of the Central Interior and prior to that, diocese of Cariboo) • Kootenay (the eastern part of British Columbia including the Okanagan) • British Columbia (Vancouver Island and the coastal islands) • New Westminster (the urban and suburban communities of Greater Vancouver and the Fraser Valley including the Sunshine Coast, from Powell River to Hope).
