First, Three Notes from the Dean: … and Two Invitations from Deborah
Dear Friend of the Cathedral, Here we are at the beginning of a long, hot, relaxed summer, delighting in the permission to reconnect with friends and family. However, most church activities are on holiday while we refresh our energies, so the newsletter too will be on hiatus until the end of August, with a possible letter in late July to remind us of Pride events. This week’s letter is a bumper issue which you can read at your leisure over the next few weeks. Please be sure to read the profile of a special member of our community in the last part of the newsletter. First, three notes from the Dean: • Livestreaming option From this Sunday, we will start to Livestream our three Sunday morning services on YouTube as well as continuing to use Zoom for now. You will be able to reach our YouTube channel at www.montrealcathedral.ca/live/ It would be helpful if you could subscribe to the channel and ‘like’ it. This would not only mean that you would be informed when new livestreams are starting or videos are being added if you wish, but it will also give the cathedral additional options for running the channel. Archival videos of previous services, evensongs, music and other educational material will be kept there, as will sermons. • Survey Thank you to all who completed the survey. This is now closed. We are working on analysing the data collected and will be in touch with those who have agreed to take part in small group discussions over the coming weeks. -

Annual Report 2019
2019 Annual Report From the Executive Director 2019 was a year of singularly profi ling the generous support that the Anglican Foundation makes possible in faith communities throughout Canada. Our goal was to disburse $1 million for ministry in 2019, and we succeeded, thanks to so many of you who have trusted us over the years and provided fi nancial support. You have helped enliven the innovative and creative spirit amongst Anglicans from coast to coast to coast. As the Visionary Sponsor of the July 2019 General Synod held in Vancouver, BC, AFC was delighted to be present with ecumenical guests, delegates, bishops, and others for seven days, during which time we had the opportunity to meet many supporters and colleagues. It was a Synod at which we also said farewell to our beloved Primate and AFC Chair, the Most Rev. Fred Hiltz, and welcomed our new Primate and AFC Chair, the Most Rev. Linda Nicholls. It is my hope that as you read this Annual Report, you will be inspired by the imagination, determination, and resolve that Canadian Anglicans demonstrate in their desire to build up faith communities to create a strong Anglican Church for years to come. As a non-profi t organization, we depend on the many individuals, parishes, and dioceses that support the mission of generosity that AFC has demonstrated for over sixty years. We are always striving to increase the breadth of our donor base in order to ensure that we can carry out our work well into the future. I hope that you will continue to partner with us to make a real difference in people’s lives, build up the church, and strengthen our country. -
Cycle of Prayer
Cycle of Prayer 13 January - 11 May 2019 Diocese of Chester Receive the daily Cycle of Prayer on: www.facebook.com/dioceseofchester Key: C = Clergy LM = Licensed Lay Minister (Reader) (Pastoral Worker) (Youth Worker) Diocesan entries from the Anglican Cycle of Prayer are in italics. Chester Diocesan Board of Finance. Church House, 5500 Daresbury Park, Daresbury, Warrington WA4 4GE. Tel: 01928 718834 Chester Diocesan Board of Finance is a company limited by guarantee registered in England (no. 7826) Registered charity (no. 248968) Foreword This Cycle of Prayer is a reminder to pray. The best reminders have a regular rhythm about them. The reminders of the importance of family life naturally take the form of anniversary events and celebrations. The Christian Year was established for just this purpose, building upon the annual rhythm of ritual and celebration which was well developed in Jewish life. Christmas, Easter, and all the other features and festivals of the Christian Year, are there to remind us of key features of the Gospel story, and the life of the Church. The diocesan daily Cycle of Prayer is provided as a reminder to pray – and a reminder of the central importance of prayer to the Church, and the Christian life. +Peter Face painting in Edgeley Welcome ‘It seems to me their faith is too much about religion and not enough about Christianity.’ The speaker was describing a couple much involved in the life of their local church who had left a lonely aged parent needing assistance to his own devices. The criticism caused me to ponder on my perhaps too easy promise to pray for people.
