Vision 2019 Sunday set for June 7
Ali Symons
General Synod Web Writer
Trinity Sunday, June 7, is a time to think big. All parishes are
encouraged to think about the future of the Anglican Church of Canada by
joining in on Vision 2019, a church-wide exercise to discern, dream, and
decide where God wants the church to be by the year 2019.
Trinity Sunday is a great time to think about the future mission of the
church, says Dr. Eileen Scully, General Synod's coordinator for ministry
and worship. "The church is invited to participate in the life of the
Trinity," she explained. "The unity of the Trinity isn't for its own
sake. The love binding the persons of the Trinity spills out into
creation, and this is where the church's mission comes from."
Vision 2019 is unlike past plans for the church's mission: it aims to
get grassroots input from as many Canadian Anglicans as possible.
Everyone is invited to answer the two-part question "Where is your
church now, and where do you want the Anglican Church of Canada to be by
2019?"
The fun part is that people can pick how to answer the question. They
can
* Make a toll-free call: 1-866-496-3057
* Post a video online at www.anglican.ca/vision2019/yourstory
* Send an email to vision2019@national.anglican.ca
* Mail a letter: Vision 2019 / Anglican Church of Canada / 80 Hayden
Street / Toronto, Ont. / M4Y 3G2
"To tell us your story is to tell us your walk of discipleship, as
you're living into the Trinity," notes Ms. Scully. "Where is Jesus
calling you? How is the Holy Spirit binding you together? How are you
honouring the gifts of God the creator?"
All responses sent in by October 1 will be analyzed by the Vision 2019
committee and a professional analyst. The team will look at the range of
responses and present their findings to the whole church at General
Synod 2010.
If your parish is interested in adding a Vision 2019 focus to your June
7 service, many resources are available (all in PDF):
1. Sunday school material, prepared by Fiona Brownlee, communications
officer, Council of the North:
www.anglican.ca/v2019/yourstory/pdf/V2019Sunday_school.pdf
2. A bulletin insert explaining the project and ideas for getting
involved:
a) in black and white:
www.anglican.ca/v2019/yourstory/pdf/V2019-bi-bw.pdf
b) in colour:
www.anglican.ca/v2019/yourstory/pdf/V2019-bi-colour.pdf
3. A summary sheet outlining what Vision 2019 is:
www.anglican.ca/v2019/pdf/v2019-intro.pdf
4. A list of ideas on how individuals and parishes can get involved with
Vision 2019:
www.anglican.ca/v2019/pdf/v2019-ideas.pdf
If you want to dig deeper, the Vision 2019 committee has encouraged
Canadian Anglicans to take a look at the Anglican Communion's Five Marks
of Mission--a good launching pad to think about the future of our
church. There is a six-week Marks of Mission study available:
www.anglican.ca/v2019/missionstudy.htm

Synod Office Communications During Synod
Please note that those telephoning the Synod Office (420-0717) on Thursday and Friday, May 28th and 29th, will most likely be greeted by the 'auto attendant' voice system. Most staff will be at Synod at Dalhousie University and therefore unavailable to take calls. Some staff may be in the office at times and may be reached by entering an individual's extension number when prompted. Extension numbers are accessible, by department, from: http://nspeidiocese.ca/contacts/index.htm
Some sections (esp. IV & V) may take a bit longer than usual to load.
For those delegates who registered requesting a paper copy of either a) the Resolutions and Administrative Documents, or b) all Synod Documents, they are expected to be mailed on Tuesday, May 19th.
- Synod Orientation will take place in the Student Union Building on Thursday morning, May 28th at 10:30 AM.
- If you would like to have the musical notes for the Synod music, bring a copy of Common Praise with you. Only the words to the songs will be provided on the projection screens.
- Clergy: please bring vestments for the Thursday night service. All delegates are invited to process in for the service. Liturgical colour is white.
- Youth delegates who wish to vote for youth representative on Diocesan Council and to General Synod 2010 must attend the Friday night youth social to cast their vote
The offering from the Synod Service is designated for the PWRDF 50 Refugees project. The funds will be held in our diocese to support the first parish that decides to sponsor a Refugee family under the PWRDF project. Those funds will be supported by additional funds from PWRDF and matching funds from CIDA.
The Appointments Committee of the Diocese is always searching for people in the Diocese who have gifts and talents to offer in membership of our various Standing Committees.
These are: Administration & Finance, Committee on Ministry, National & World Mission, Audit Committee, Archives and Diocesan Times Management Board. Membership on these committees is open to all Anglicans, not just to those who are members of Synod.
To apply, please fill in the Application Form (linked) and return as indicated.

2010 Commemorative Stole
As part of the upcoming 2010 celebrations, special commemorative stoles will be available for purchase by parishes and individual clergy. The stoles will be a cream coloured straight cut design and will bear a machine embroidered 2010 logo. The estimated cost will be in the vicinity of $50. The work is being done on a volunteer basis by a small group of interested and experienced, "top notch" seamstresses, for the sole purpose of beautifying and contributing to the celebration of our 300th anniversary as a diocese. We are planning to have 100 commemorative stoles ready for the 2009 Synod. Priests and parish representatives are encouraged to purchase and pick-up their stoles at that time. Many of the stoles are already spoken for. If you would like a stole and have not yet contacted Daphne please do so and she will reserve one for you.

Stewardship is:
Trust in God - Stewardship is trusting God. We believe that our generous God will always provide for us. None of us will ever have all that we want, but we will always have all that we need.
Proportionate Giving - Stewardship calls us to realize that each of us is called to give as God has given to us. We no longer base our giving on what others are giving. We no longer excuse ourselves from giving because we do not see others giving. Rather we give in proportion to all that God has given to us.
Accountability - Stewardship calls us to recognize that just as in the Parable of the Talents, each of us will someday be asked by God to give an accounting of all that we have done with the gifts that have been given to us. Likewise, parish communities that embrace stewardship must be accountable to the community for the way in which the parish uses the gifts entrusted to it. Another excerpt from St. Louis Archdiocesan Stewardship Education Council

· May 30 Synod Presentation
· Sept 18/19 Prince Edward Island. Details to be announced.
