The Indigenous Anglican Sacred Circle is the national gathering and decision-making body for Indigenous Anglicans in Canada. Since 1988, First Nations, Métis and Inuit members of local Anglican churches have gathered every three years to talk about our spiritual lives, past and present experiences, our hopes for the future and our relationships with the Anglican Church of Canada.
The tenth Sacred Circle was a two part virtual meeting. The first part on July 14-17 2021, and the second part Nov. 12-13, 2021.
The theme of this Sacred Circle is “Returning Home: Remembering the Lost”.
Anglican Video created a video documentary of the work of the first part of Sacred Circle 10, available on YouTube and Vimeo.
The Sacred Circle Logo is by Dixie Bird, from Montreal Lake First Nation.
