Anglicans Working on the MDGs
The Millennium Development Goals are 8 international development goals that all 192 United Nations member states and 23 international organizations agreed, in 2000, to achieve by 2015. Our Primate, the National Bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada, and the Archbishop of Canterbury all encourage our work on achieving these goals. See the links below for more information and ways of working.
Earth Day Liturgy
The Diocese of Montreal Stewardship of the Environment committee has put together a liturgy for Earth Day, which this year is on April 22nd. It is available for download. The PDF document prints as a booklet.
Just Living
This resource is designed to help parishes commit to justice for our earth household. Unless we take time to learn about the consequences of our choices, we may find ourselves tossed about by the waves of consumerism and culture around us.
Liturgical resources for the Six Marks of Mission
“I have compiled supplementary liturgical resources for the six ‘Marks of Mission.’ They are being used for a Mission Sunday in the Diocese of Montreal that focuses on the Marks of Mission and coincides with the Diocesan Synod whose theme is also the Marks of Mission.”
Niigaanibatowaad: FrontRunners
In 1967, ten Indigenous young men were chosen to carry the torch from St. Paul, Minnesota to Winnipeg for the Pan American Games. When the runners arrived at the stadium, they were not allowed to enter. Instead, a non-Aboriginal runner was given the honour of carrying the torch inside. Thirty-two years later, the province of Manitoba issued an official apology to the runners, nine of whom were students at redisdential school.
A Charter for Racial Justice
This charter outlines the Anglican Church of Canada’s commitment to fight racism. It was approved by the Council of General Synod in March 2007 and is intended to complement a more detailed policy for employees and members of General Synod, its committees, councils, and board.
