February is Black History Month Black Anglicans of Canada Declaration
We as people of African Descent are commissioned and called to be ambassadors of reconciliation. We are called to create opportunities and space for courage building, healing, fellowship and empowerment. This special calling is both a reminder and a challenge to ourselves and to the whole church that we are no longer destined to just obey, suffer and witness; but to disrupt, heal and lead.
There is an opportunity to join the Black Anglicans of Canada as an ally: click here.

Bishop Anna Greenwood-Lee to Offer Lenten Video SeriesFebruary 17 marks the beginning of the 40 days of Lent. The word "Lent" can be traced to an Old English word "lecten" which is related to "lengthen" referring to the lengthening of days in the Spring season. It's a time for spiritual renewal and what some call a "spiritual spring." So we offer you this series, "Renew" consisting of eight short (2-minute) reflections by Bishop Anna Greeenwood-Lee during these 40 long days before Easter. The videos will be available on Twitter, Facebook and in the media section of the website beginning Wednesday, February 17 and each Wednesday after that during the season. |
