  • '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..

  • Residential Schools Update #15 -- November 20, 2002
    Residential Schools Update #15 -- November 20, 2002 Archdeacon Jim Boyles, General Secretary Overview: After ten months of intensive bi-lateral negotiations between the Federal Government and the Anglican Church of Canada, an agreement in principle relating to the participation of Anglican entities in the residential school system has now been officially tabled and awaits ratification by the Anglican dioceses. The agreement-in-principle was announced at a news conference in Ottawa this morning by the Honourable Ralph Goodale, Minister of Public Works and Government Services, and Archbishop Michael Peers, Primate. Four key features of the draft agreement include: Establishment of a $25 million settlement fund under Anglican auspices to pay for the Anglican share of compensation for victims of validated physical and sexual abuse claims. These funds will go directly to settlements. Once the fund is exhausted, General Synod and dioceses will be relieved of further liability with respect to physical and sexual abuse claims; Generally, an end to Anglican involvement and outlay for litigation; Support for alternative dispute resolution processes; Encouragement for a programmatic approach by both the Government and the Church to respond to loss of language and culture. This agreement-in-principle with the government is of critical importance. It signals willingness and commitment by the Government and the Church to respond to the legacy of residential school abuse in a way that is responsible, just, and humane for survivors. It will pave the way for a constructive working relationship between the Government, Anglican entities and Indigenous peoples. It will also demonstrate that principled resolution can be achieved in an environment of mutual co-operation and respect.

It is hoped, therefore, that the Algoma Anglican will rectify this situation, that it will keep us all informed of what is going on in all parts of the diocese, and, perhaps more importantly, help us to know each other better and more deeply understand each other’s problems and hopes. The success of the Algoma Anglican will depend, of course, on the support it receives from our people throughout the diocese.
