    The Anglican Church of Canada MISSION STATEMENT As a partner in the world wide Anglican Communion and in the universal Church, we proclaim and celebrate the gospel of Jesus Christ in worship and action. 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.
