Bishop attends pivotal moment in the life of the Anglican Church

Bishop Stephen London made a whirlwind trip to Ontario this week to be present for an historic and important event in the life of the Anglican Church of Canada (ACC): the installation of The Most. Rev. Chris Harper as National Indigenous Anglican Archbishop. On his Facebook page, Bishop Steve commented, "I was so happy to be able to be a part of this to celebrate the ministry of Archbishop Chris, the Anglican Council of Indigenous Peoples (ACIP) and the whole of Sacred Circle. Good relationship is at the heart of the Gospel, and I truly saw that today."

The installation took place on the first full day of Sacred Circle, a national gathering of Indigenous Anglicans for prayer, worship, discernment and decision-making. This is the 11th such gathering and it included both the installation and the ratification The Covenant and Our Way of Life. Somewhat similar to the function of a constitution and canons, these documents set out the way in which Indigenous Anglicans will function as a self-determining group within the ACC. Links and information can be found on the ACC website. Articles regarding all these events are available through the Anglican Journal.
