Overview:
In 2019 the Anglican Church of Canada (ACC) embarked on a process of listening and discerning the hopes and aspirations of the church. In response to the theme “A Changing Church. A Searching Word. A Faithful God” hundreds of Anglicans across the country participated in various activities and conversations. The result was the creation of five aspirations that the ACC heard as hopes and themes that resonate with Anglicans across the country amidst both vast diversity and unity. 

Five Bible Studies and Videos have been created to open up conversation, prayer, and reflection on these transformational aspirations. Throughout Lent we are invited to gather online (via Zoom) to engage in conversation and reflection through scripture on the ways in which these aspirations resonate with us as community and individuals. 

On the first week we will be joined by Archbishop Linda Nicholls who will introduce the five weeks of reflection and pray with us as we begin our Lenten journey.

 All are welcome to join in this Diocesan wide gathering on any or all the weeks.

Tuesdays 7:00 - 8:30 pm.
