    The Anglican Church of Canada MISSION STATEMENT As a partner in the world wide Anglican Communion and in the universal Church, we proclaim and celebrate the gospel of Jesus Christ in worship and action. We value our heritage of biblical faith, reason, liturgy, tradition, bishops and synods, and the rich variety of our life in community. We acknowledge that God is calling us to greater diversity of membership, wider participation in ministry and leadership, better stewardship in God’s creation and a strong resolve in challenging attitudes and structures that cause injustice. Guided by the Holy Spirit, we commit ourselves to respond to this call in love and service and so more fully live the life of Christ. L’ Église anglicane du Canada ÉNONCÉ DE MISSION En tant que partenaires à part entière de la communion anglicane internationale et de l’Église universelle, nous proclamons et célébrons l’Évangile de Jésus-Christ par notre liturgie et nos gestes. Nous accordons une place de choix à notre héritage composé de notre foi biblique, de raison, de liturgie, de tradition, de notre épiscopat et de nos synodes, et de la grande richesse de notre vie en communauté. Nous reconnaissons que Dieu nous appelle à une plus grande diversification dans notre communauté chrétienne, à une participation plus étendue dans le ministère et dans les prises de décision, à un engagement plus profond dans la création que Dieu nous a confiée, et à une remise en question des attitudes et des structures qui causent des injustices. Guidés par l’Esprit Saint, nous nous engageons à répondre à ces appels avec amour et esprit de service, vivant ainsi plus profondément la vie du Christ.

    COVID-19 Up-Date

    The Office of the Metropolitan of Ontario The Anglican Church of Canada ___________________________________________________ The Most Reverend Anne Germond Metropolitan of the Ecclesiastical Province of Ontario Friday 13th March, 2020 Dear People of God, On behalf of the Bishops of Ontario, I am writing to say how grateful we are for the way in which you have so readily responded to the new guidelines with respect to protective measures in our churches during this season when COVID – 19 is affecting so many people around the world. We are coordinating our efforts, united in our approach, and monitoring the situation closely. The bishops of the province are ready to act together should the public health officials ask us to take different or more drastic measures. Plans are in place for online prayer and worship resources to be posted on the provincial website should it become necessary to temporarily suspend communal worship, as well as for those in self- isolation or who are ill with the virus and receiving care. Our synod offices have ways for staff to work from home, so as much as possible, we are striving to maintain the services we provide to sustain the work of the Church. We encourage you, as people of faith, to find creative ways to stay connected during this time and to keep praying for and with each other. In the meantime, it is our hope that our mission and ministry in the Church and in the world, will continue for the sake of the Gospel. Like so many others we are involved in frontline ministry and our faith summons us to reach beyond our fears and step out in faith confident in God’s abiding love.
