  • 'A Step Along the Path'
    ‘A Step along the Path’ On Friday, August 6, 1993 at the National Native Convocation in Minaki, Ontario, Archbishop Michael Peers offered an apology to all the survivors of the Indian residential schools. Shaped by his listening to their stories, and his devotion to healing and reconciliation, he said, “I want to take one step along that path here and now.” And with that he said, “I accept and I confess before God and you, our failures in the residential schools. We failed you. We failed ourselves. We failed God. “I am sorry, more than I can say, that we were part of a system which took you and your children from home and family. “I am sorry, more than I can say, that we tried to remake you in our image, taking from you your language and the signs of your identity. “I am sorry, more than I can say, that in our schools so many were abused physically, sexually, culturally and emotionally. “On behalf of the Anglican Church of Canada, I present our apology.” Not only did Michael say, “I am sorry,” he also said, “I know how often you have heard words which have been empty because they have not been accompanied by actions. I pledge to you my best efforts, and the efforts of our church at the national level, to walk with you along the path of God’s healing.” That was twenty years ago—to this very day. Then and there the apology was offered—quietly and prayerfully. The next day Vi Smith, speaking on behalf of the elders and participants, said, “It was offered from the heart with sincerity, sensitivity, compassion and humility..

  • 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.

  • September 2013 Remember the Sabbath
    ANGLICAN JOURNAL Inspiring the faithful since 1875 vol. 139 no. 7 september 2013 Remember the Sabbath September seems to be all about gearing up for back to school, back to work, back to the rat race after the fleeting reprieve of summer holidays (if you had any). The promise that computers and labour-saving technology would mean more leisure time for everyone now seems laughable in the face of statistics that clearly show most people are working harder and longer than ever. In the midst of that busyness, and the stress that comes with it, the Journal poses the question, have we forgotten Sabbath? “Remember the Sabbath day, and keep it holy. For six days you shall labour and do all your work. But the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God; you shall not do any work” is the fourth commandment (Ex. 20:8–10a), but what does it mean in a society that can shop, work and chatter online 24/7? What have we lost? What does it cost? What is the church’s role in calling people to keep the Sabbath? —Leigh Anne Williams See RX, p. 8 Drop thy still dews of quietness, till all our strivings cease; take from our souls the strain and stress, and let our ordered lives confess the beauty of thy peace.
