Since 1988, the Indigenous Anglican Sacred Circle has brought our people together to share our stories, strengthen our relationships and guide the life of our self-determining church.
Our Tenth Sacred Circle met virtually in 2021, gathering July 14–17 and November 12–13 under the theme “Returning Home: Remembering the Lost”. A documentary from the first session remains available on YouTube and Vimeo, while the logo of the gathering by Dixie Bird of Montreal Lake First Nation honoured the spirit of our meeting.
