Welcome Bishop Anderson Jeremiah

This week, we had the pleasure of welcoming Bishop Anderson Jeremiah and his family to the Diocese of Edmonton. Bishop Anderson is the Anglican Communion’s other Bishop of Edmonton, where he serves as suffragan bishop of one of the regions of the Diocese of London, UK. His area of focus includes theology and the environment, justice, reconciliation, and anti-racism. He is married to the Rev. Dr. Rebecca Aechtner, who grew up in Alberta and now serves as Area Director of Ministry in the Diocese of London. They have two daughters.

Bishop Anderson, who began his ministry in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu, took time to visit with the Church of South India congregation that meets at St. Augustine’s, Edmonton. He and his family also spent a day with elders Verna Fisher and Russell Auger, learning some of the teachings of this land. We look forward to continued friendship between the two Edmontons.
