Where your Church is poor, enrich and empower it; where there is need for clergy, call them forth; where it is spread thin by geography, bind it with cords of love; where there is confl ict, bring reconciliation. Give to us, with all our brothers and sisters, that due sense of fellowship in your Kingdom, that you may be glorifi ed in all your saints, through Jesus Christ, your Son, our Lord. Amen. Th e Council of the North is a grouping of fi nancially assisted dioceses, which are supported through grants by General Synod. Th ere are 9 dioceses, the Anglican Parishes of the Central Interior and the Archdeaconry of Labrador. In these parts of the country, costs, particularly of travel, are high and fi nancial resources are scarce. Th e council, comprised of all bishops of the assisted dioceses, administers the General Synod’s grants for northern mission. Th e council meets twice a year to share information about the unique challenges faced by smaller ministries in the north. Th ey are encouraged by emerging creative ministries across the church.

  • The Diocese of the Arctic ANGLICAN CHURCH of CANADA
    The Diocese of the Arctic ANGLICAN CHURCH OF CANADA Dean of the Diocese of The Arctic The Bishop of The Arctic is receiving letters of applications for rector of St. Jude’s Cathedral and Dean of the Diocese of The Arctic. The Diocese of The Arctic is extremely large, covering almost 4,000,000 square kilometres. It includes the territories of Nunavut, Northwest Territories and Nunavik (Northern Quebec). Most of our communities are relatively small and remote. Both English and Indigenous languages (mostly Inuktitut) are spoken. Our Diocesan office is in Yellowknife NWT and our Cathedral is in Iqaluit NU. Although we are an Anglican Church of Canada Diocese, our priorities differ considerably from those of the national church. Those outside the Diocese often refer to us as “conservative” or “evangelical.” Those description have some truth to them, but they fail to capture completely the uniqueness of Arctic faith and ministry. Our mission statement clearly states our priorities, which are: A) to proclaim the Good News of the Kingdom of God, as revealed through the life, death, and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, and through the power of the Holy Spirit, and B) to enable all members of the Church to live out their Christian calling in parishes, the wider church, in society at large, and in the world. This means that, as a Diocese, we are about evangelism. We want everyone in our community to know Jesus Christ. Following on this, we want to teach and encourage our people to become disciples who are living out in the teachings of Jesus Christ in all areas of their lives.

    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.
