  • 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.

  • '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..
