ACiC Celebrations

The Anglican Communion in Canada was privileged to receive encouragement and ministry from Bishop "TJ" Johnston and his wife, Rees, this past week at a number of locations in BC. Bishop TJ is a missionary bishop of the Episcopal Province of Rwanda, one of the 38 provinces of the Anglican Communion. He oversees congregations in Canada and the USA on behalf of the Primates.

An information evening was held in Victoria to discuss the Windsor Report and the Primates' Communique. A joint service for the three Vancouver Island congregations in Nanaimo, a confirmation service at Pender Harbour, a Renewal Conference at St Simons, North Vancouver, and a large celebration at Richmond Emmanuel Church (with 102 confirmands) were among events packed into one week. People came from several provinces in Canada to participate. What a joy it is to receive pastoral care from a Godly and Spirit-filled shepherd.
