With Gratitude and Encouragement

Indigenous Ministries Team Member Bids Farewell

Fiona Brownlee

January 27, 2025

Tansi Friends. My time working for you in the diocese has come to an end. I want to express my gratitude for your welcome into your church halls, pulpits and study groups to share why we need to continue this reconciliation ministry. I am sure this work will not end and that you will continue to find ways to honour our calling to right relationship with the First Peoples of this good land. I also want to express my gratitude to the clergy and people of the diocese who reached out to me and asked me questions, who encouraged me and who became my friends. I have loved doing this work but I am sure it is not the end. Blessings to you all, Fiona (Brownlee, Aboriginal and Rural Churches Liaison, Diocese of Edmonton)

What We Do
