A Covenant

“Under the guidance of God’s spirit, we agree to do all we can to call our people into unity in a new, self-determining community within the Anglican Church of Canada. To this end we extend the hand of partnership to all those who will help us build a truly Anglican Indigenous Church in Canada. May God bless this new vision and give us grace to accomplish it.”

—Indigenous Anglican leaders, Winnipeg, April 1994

“And the one who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” —Revelation 21:5a

“From now on, when we look at where we fit in the structure, we see ourselves as a partner in this church and as a self-determining body. We now need to use our own spirituality to describe our faith and our own way. All things have to be developed, stated, and understood so we feel we are truly part of the church … we are not on the outside anymore. —Donna Bomberry, Cayuga Nation
