Andrew Asbil, rector of St. James Cathedral and dean of Toronto, has been elected coadjutor bishop of the Diocese of Toronto. He will become the 12th Bishop of Toronto when Archbish- op Colin Johnson, who currently holds the position, retires at the end of the year. “I am overwhelmed,” he said to about 600 Synod members after his election at the cathedral on June 9. “And I am humbled. To my core. Never in a million years would I have imagined this moment. But I am deeply grateful for it.” Bishop-elect Asbil, 57, was elect- ed on the third ballot, ahead of Bishop Victoria Matthews, the for- mer diocesan bishop of Christch- urch, New Zealand and a former suffragan bishop in the Diocese of Toronto. The other nominees in the elec- tion were Bishop Jenny Andison, the area bishop of York-Credit Valley; the Rev. Canon David Harrison, the incumbent of St. Mary Magdalene, Toronto; Bishop Kevin Robertson, the area bishop of York-Scarborough; and Bishop Riscylla Shaw, the area bishop of Bishop-elect Andrew Asbil receives applause from his wife Mary and Synod members after his election at St. James Cathedral.

  • Downtown East Churches Pandemic Letter
    His Worship, John Tory Mayor of Toronto City Hall, 2nd Floor, 100 Queen St. W. Toronto ON M5H 2N2 May 6, 2020 Dear Mr. Tory, Since the beginning of the pandemic, churches in Toronto’s Downtown East have stepped up to provide the basic necessities of life for homeless people. We are handing out meals, toiletries, and when available, sanitizer and masks. Our staff, clergy, and laity, who are not health care professionals, politicians or city-operated have been making do, trying to minimize contact while meeting people’s most basic needs. We are doing this dangerous work because like generations of Christians before us, we believe it is our mandate that compels us to protect life. But we are also doing it because the City of Toronto has failed in its mandate to ensure accessible basic health needs and safe housing accommodations for the poorest people and to ensure the overall safety of all Torontonians. These two failures have met in our response to the COVID-19 pandemic. More than a month ago we heard Councillor Joe Cressy announce that the City of Toronto was pursuing the acquisition of hotels and vacant residential buildings to provide safe shelter for people experiencing homelessness, accessible hand washing stations with portable toilets and we were most encouraged. We imagined that there would be a swift and positive impact on the people who are using our outreach programs. Once inside their own rooms, people could shelter in place and reduce their risk of becoming infected or infecting others, and churches in Toronto’s Downtown East could return to a role improving the quality of life for the most vulnerable neighbours.
