Transformation Task Force

Also in Governance and decision-making

The Transformation Task Force supports the work of the General Synod by coordinating and advancing the implementation of the six pathways identified in Creating Pathways for the Transformational Change of the General Synod (PDF), approved by General Synod 2025. These pathways outline priority areas for renewal and strengthened national structures.

The six pathways are:

  1. Organizational structure
  2. Management overview and restructuring
  3. Inclusion and diversity in decision making
  4. Communications
  5. Partnership with the Indigenous Church
  6. Ministry in the North

An implementation team exists for each pathway. Members of the Transformation Task Force participate in one or more implementation teams as liaisons, facilitators or subject matter experts, helping coordinate progress and ensure alignment between the pathways.

Acknowledging the land and God’s creation

This acknowledgement is crafted in light of the Principles of Reconciliation by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, as we seek to live faithfully in Christ and in right relationship with all. 

We give thanks to the Creator for this land, its waters, forests and all living beings, and for the abiding presence of Christ among us. From coast to coast to coast, these have been cared for and nurtured by First Nations, Inuit and Métis through countless generations. 

We honour the enduring relationship Indigenous Peoples have cultivated with these lands and waters, and the treaties and agreements that reflect these sacred bonds. We acknowledge the harms caused by colonial expansion, through frameworks like the Doctrine of Discovery and structures like the residential school system. We recognize our past failures as a Church, including disruption of connections to the land and suppression of Indigenous spiritualities. 

Guided by the gospel of Jesus Christ, we confess our need for healing. We commit ourselves to seeking truth, pursuing reconciliation and nurturing harmony with all creation. We place our trust in Christ, through whom all things are reconciled to God. 

May God strengthen us to live faithfully as stewards of the Earth. Let us walk in love, justice and reconciliation, joining in God’s work to restore all creation.
