Last week, I asked to speak with you about gifts to CHIMP for a total of $120 million: Ø $ 34.4 million from Almoner Foundation (2011-2019) Ø $ 33.8 million from Foundation For Public Good (2017-2019) Ø $ 12.1 million from the Association for the Advancement of Scholarship (2012-2018) Ø $ 10.5 million from Eden Glen Foundation (2017) Ø $ 10.1 million from Timothy Foundation (2012-2017) Ø $ 7.0 million from Mighty Oaks Foundation (2014) Ø $ 4.0 million from Headwaters Foundation (2011) Ø $ 3.7 million from Homestead on the Hill Foundation (2018) Ø $ 3.4 million from Global Charity Fund (2014) Ø $ 1.0 million from Theanon Foundation (2011-2014) $ 120 million TOTAL On the basis of my research, it is clear to me that these gifts for $120 million stem from tax-receipted donations reported by charities involved with funds for starting Quest University.

  • 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.

  • Anglican-Lutheran Cycle of Prayer 2019-2020
    An Anglican-Lutheran Cycle of Prayer for Canada Advent 1, 2019 to the Reign of Christ, 2020 Introduction 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. As churches in full communion, it is also appropriate for us to pray for our immediate Anglican and Lutheran neighbours. 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 most Sunday there are intentions for specific dioceses/synods/groups in both the Anglican Church of Canada (ACC) and the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada (ELCIC). In some cases, because of differences in the numbers of local and regional jurisdictions between the two churches, the ELCIC intention for a given week may instead be substituted by a topical intention shared in common by the ELCIC/ACC. Some weeks also provide an additional common ACC/ELCIC intention for an event or concern associated with that week. 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 addition
