Theme: Waiting Upon God
Greetings from Faith, Worship, and Ministry as we enter the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity.
As General Synod's new Coordinator for Ecumenical Relations, I will be periodically sending out notifications about events and resources of possible interest. If you have events of your own that you'd like shared with the network of Anglican ecumenical officers, please let me know.
WEEK OF PRAYER FOR CHRISTIAN UNITY - This annual time of intentional prayer for the unity to which Christ calls us officially begins at the Confession of St. Peter and ends on the Conversion of St. Paul. However, many communities will bookend their observances between the following two Sundays. The Prairie Centre for Ecumenism has several online resources related to the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, as well as a calendar of many of the observances taking place across the country.
CALL FOR NOMINATIONS TO 2013 WCC ASSEMBLY - The tenth assembly of the World Council of Churches will take place in Busan, South Korea, in October 2013. The theme is "God of Life, Lead us to Justice and Peace." A founding member of the WCC, the Anglican Church of Canada is entitled to send send two delegates to this assembly. Nominations are being received until April 1, 2012. Details on the assembly, the expectations of our delegates, as well as how to submit a nomination, are available here. The Council of General Synod will determine our church's representation to the assembly at its spring 2012 meeting.
SEEKING STEWARDS - The WCC is also looking for stewards to serve at the next meeting of its Central Committee, which will take place in Crete from August 23 to September 7, 2012. This is a unique opportunity for 18-30 year olds seeking an intensive, international, ecumenical experience. Details on how to apply can be found here. The WCC will also eventually be seeking stewards for the 2013 Busan assembly.
WCC GENERAL SECRETARY TO VISIT - The Rev. Dr. Olav Fykse Tveit, the General Secretary of the World Council of Churches, will make an official visit to the Canadian member churches of the WCC in March. In recognition of our full communion partnership, his visit with the Anglican Church of Canada and the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada (ELCIC) will take place jointly on March 13 at the General Synod offices in Toronto. Susan Johnson, ELCIC's National Bishop, among others, will be present. Accompanying the General Secretary will be Natasha Klukach, formerly General Synod's Coordinator for Ecumenical Relations, now WCC Programme Executive for North America.
ECUMENICAL SHARED MINISTRY CONFERENCE - The Diocese of Kootenay, the Anglican Parishes of the Central Interior, and the Kamloops/Okanagan and Kootenay presbyteries of the United Church of Canada are together hosting a conference on ecumenical shared ministries. It will take place March 2-4 at the Sorrento Centre in Sorrento, B.C. Sanda Beardsall, professor of church history and ecumenics at St. Andrew's College, Saskatoon, is the guest speaker. A poster for the event is attached. You may also register online.
JALC TO WELCOME U.S. PARTNERS - The Joint Anglican-Lutheran Commission (JALC) will meet in Niagara Falls from February 15-17. At this gathering the Canadian commission will be welcoming representatives from its American counterpart, the Lutheran-Episcopal Coordinating Committee, to discuss ways these four full communion partners can work even more closely together in mission.
ARC CANADA CONTINUES - After November's 40th anniversary celebrations, the Anglican-Roman Catholic Dialogue of Canada is set to move forward with its conversations. Several suggestions for this next phase of ARC Canada's work were suggested during a fruitful joint meeting with the Anglican-Roman Catholic Bishops' Dialogue of Canada. An account of the anniversary celebrations and subsequent discussions appears in the current issue of the journal One in Christ. ARC Canada will next meet April 12-14 in Ottawa.
NEXT ROUND OF ANGLICAN-UNITED DIALOGUE TO BEGIN - The next round of the bilateral dialogue between the Anglican Church of Canada and the United Church of Canada will begin in Toronto from May 14-17. This next phase of the dialogue will build on the work of the first six years of recent Anglican-United conversations, the fruits of which are summarized in the St. Brigid Report.
