  • Being Multicultural, Becoming Intercultural
    Being Multicultural, Becoming Intercultural Report of the Ethnic Ministry Consultation Committee to the College of Bishops of the Diocese of Toronto September 29, 2011 Preamble All ministry can be described as “ethnic”. (1) The Anglican Church itself is an ethnic church with its roots in the Anglo, Celtic, and Saxon people of Britain. As a church that followed the path of British colonialism, it spread to North America, to Africa, Asia, the South Pacific, the Caribbean, and to the Middle East and Central and South America where expatriate communities introduced Anglicanism and attracted local people. The Anglican Communion is now made up of about 77 million members in 44 regional and national churches around the globe in 164 countries. (2) Indeed, one report from the 1998 Lambeth Conference stated that “The average Anglican is between 20 and 30 years old, is brown‐skinned, poor, lives in the Two‐Thirds World, and is evangelical.” (3) For its part, Canada is a country made up of Indigenous peoples, people of British and European origin, and of immigrants from all parts of the world. The City of Toronto is a particularly dense microcosm of this intermingling of peoples, where it is projected that by 2031 six out of every ten Torontonians will be foreign‐born, and one in every four of South Asian origin. There are clear signs of this growing diversity not only in the Greater Toronto Area, but in municipalities and rural communities across the Diocese. Forty years ago the response of the government of Canada to this plurality was to adopt a policy of multiculturalism within a bilingual framework.
