Archbishop Hiltz, Primate of the Anglican Church of Canada
What follows is the text of a letter from Archbishop Fred Hiltz, Primate of the Anglican Church of Canada, to his colleague, Archbishop Nathaniel Makoto Uematsu, Primate of the Nippon Sei Ko Kai.
Dear Nathaniel,
I write on behalf of your brothers and sisters in Christ in the Anglican Church of Canada.
We are so saddened by the terrible news of today’s 8.9 earthquake and subsequent tsunami that have crushed or swept so many people to their deaths and caused such widespread destruction. As we follow the news we recognize your very real fears of after-shocks and further tsunamis.
We assure you of our sympathy and of our prayers for all who have died and those who mourn their loss, for all who are injured and those who tend them, for all who frantically wait word of their loved ones.
We hold before God all those who are engaged in the relief efforts as well as you and all who are ministering to the needs of a stricken, grieving nation.
In the compassion of Christ,
I am,
Sincerely yours,
Fred J. Hiltz
Archbishop and Primate

A special series of podcasts is available this Lent. Entitled, “A Journey from Lent to Easter—From Creation’s Dust to Resurrection’s Light,” they are written and presented by Sister Elizabeth Ann Eckert of the Sisters of Saint John the Divine (SSJD). Read more about this series of Lenten podcasts here.
In the first of this series, she asks what are you going to give up at Lent – television? distractions? What are you going to take up – meditation? silence? Sister Elizabeth gets to the heart of Lent.

This is a different approach to bible study – engaging scripture with our imagination and creativity. This modern adaptation of an ancient Jewish scripture study technique allows us to enter scripture from different angles, and see scripture with new eyes.
Christian have engaged the stories of the Bible with their creative imaginations since the time of Jesus, through storytelling; visual representations of Bible stories in paintings, stained glass, tapestry; and dramatic renderings of the highlights of the gospels.
This Lenten Study will be facilitated by our very own Billy Sutherland.
Come and engage with scripture in a different way – make it part of your journey to Easter!
