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.

  • 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.

  • Read the Parish History
    For all those, past and present, who have worshipped and made the Church of the Ascension the warm and welcoming sanctuary that it is. Introduction The Right Reverend Peter R. Coffin Eighth Bishop of Ottawa Congratulations on the publishing of this history of the Church of the Ascension, which actually spent its first four decades as Holy Trinity on Canal Road in the village of Archville. The Rector at the time of the name change was Robert Jefferson, who later became the third Bishop of Ottawa. So many things have changed since that time. With the building of the Pretoria Bridge, the parish no longer needed its row-boat to ferry parishioners across the Canal. What a pilgrim image! And now the Church of the Ascension is very much an inner city congregation and has adapted to that reality in so many ways. I have a sense that this is a deeply loyal and supportive community, well concerned about and engaged in those things required by God: “to do justice and to love kindness and to walk humbly with God” (Micah 6:8). This parish has seen much of the history of this city, and has lived through the tumult of the last century. In the midst of this, it is a witness, and may it continue to be so. In the quest for the Kingdom of God, there are often difficult times and always a need for a generous and gentle people to establish God’s rule. Blessings. In the peace and grace of Jesus. The Right Reverend Peter R.

  • 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.

  • Page an Anglican – Lutheran Cycle of Prayer July – September
    An Anglican – Lutheran Cycle of Prayer July – September 2019 Introduction The Joint Anglican-Lutheran Commission has designed this cycle for use in Canadian Anglican and Lutheran congregations and communities in Sunday liturgies throughout the year. For each Sunday, there are intentions for specific dioceses/synods/groups in both The Anglican Church of Canada and the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada. One of the characteristics of the Christian community throughout the ages has been our commitment to pray for the whole world but especially for our Christian sisters and brothers in churches closely linked to our own. Anglicans and Lutherans in Canada are accustomed to praying for the Anglican Communion and the Lutheran World Federation, so it is appropriate for us to pray for our immediate Anglican and Lutheran neighbours. Prayer cycles can be overwhelming and ‘crowded’ pieces of liturgies. Care needs to be exercised in setting a context – we are intentionally, as churches in ‘full communion’, holding each other in prayer – some words of explanation may be needed to set this cycle of prayer in context. In using this Cycle of Prayer, congregations may wish to pray regularly by name. 7 July 2019 DIOCESAN Bishop Chris and Tracy Harper Diocese of Saskatoon Delegates to the 42nd Session of General Synod to be held July 10- 16 in Vancouver: Bishop Chris Harper, The Very Rev. Scott Pittendrigh, The Ven. Ken Watts, Ms. Ruth Skinner, Mr. Chris Wood and Ms. Alexa Wallace, At the meeting of the General Synod this July, clergy and lay people will elect a new Primate. The Primate is the presiding bishop of The Anglican Church of Canada, leads the church in discerning and pursuing the mission of God.
