“Improve and enliven communications”—this was one of five practices proposed by the Anglican Church of Canada’s strategic plan, Vision 2019. One way General Synod is living out this mission is by launching a cleaner and clearer look for the national website, www.anglican.ca.

On Jan. 30 the first stage of this visual refresh process was launched, with these new elements:

  • New ways to share pages through social media networks
  • Clearer web pages that introduce the Anglican Church of Canada to newcomers
  • Content-rich landing pages for larger sections of the website
  • A graphic news banner that gives higher profile to stories on anglican.ca

Some sections of the website are still in the original template, but will be gradually transitioned to the new look and feel.

The web team would like to thank you in advance for your patience as they work to introduce the new design to all sections of the national website.

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.
