Thank you to all you seekers who have stayed with this page and its development. Welcome to the rest of you who have just happened upon the website of the Anglican Church of Canada.

All visitors to this site will be seeing changes in coming weeks now that a full-time Web manager has been hired. Leanne Larmondin and Keith Nunn will share the duties of Web development over the coming months.

One new area will be the Anglican Book Centre. First up in the online store will be resources for Lent and Easter, and these will be followed by the entire 1998 catalogue.

The staff directory will be redesigned to provide up-to-date telephone and email contacts. A directory of committee members will also be available.

Other plans and possibilities are simmering in the background and will be announced as they come close to being realized. We are beginning to define possible growth areas and input from you is very important to the development of this website.

This is just the beginning. Please feel free to join the process.

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.
