- "The election of a new primate [the Most Rev. Linda Nicholls] and the establishment of a self-determining Indigenous Anglican church were only some of the highlights of the 42nd General Synod of the Anglican Church of Canada, which met July 10-16 in Vancouver. In these seven days, General Synod took concrete steps in helping realize the dream of a fully self-determining Anglican Church of Canada and advance reconciliation. It affirmed the creation of the Jubilee Commission, tasked with finding 'just, sustainable and equitable' ways of funding the Indigenous church. Synod also approved the creation of a permanent committee to carry on the work of the Primate's Commission on Discovery, Reconciliation and Justice, established in 2013. And, in a speech that brought many members of General Synod to their feet, outgoing Primate Archbishop Fred Hiltz apologized, on behalf of the church, for the spiritual harm it had historically inflicted on Indigenous peoples". "A vote to replace the 'Book of Common Prayer's' existing prayer for the conversion of the Jews with a new prayer for reconciliation with them -- written in consultation with the Canadian Rabbinic Caucus, and approved by the Prayer Book Society of Canada (PBSC) -- passed its first reading". "The same day, General Synod signed on to and endorsed 'A Common Word', a letter inviting Christians and Muslims to dialogue". A resolution of sorts was reached on the often painful discussion of same-sex marriage, with the House of Bishops recommending dioceses make their own decisions on the matter in the wake of a vote against changing the marriage canon. There were also votes urging the church to adopt new ecological practices, the approval of new liturgical texts, and much more -- all of it made possible by the donations of Anglicans like you".

- "Canada's General Synod will be asked to look again at a proposal to remove a prayer for the conversion of the Jews from its Book of Common Prayer. The Synod rejected a similar motion in 2016, but in November [2017], the synod's executive body -- the Council of General Synod (Cogs) -- agreed to put the matter before the Synod once more, when it next meets in 2019. The Bishop of Quebec, Bruce Myers, told a Cogs meeting in November [2017] that 'a lack of context' could be why some Synod members voted against the motion. The Archbishop of Canada, Fred Hiltz, suggested that Cogs should take a lead in inviting the Synod reconsider the matter 'in a way that would be much more thorough in terms of background, contemporary context, and the solemn obligation of the church to be sensitive to dialogue with people of other faiths', the Province said".

- "Albert Dumont (South Wind), Algonquin spiritual teacher in residence at Christ Church Cathedral in Ottawa, shares thoughts on the apology for spiritual harm the church caused Indigenous peoples, issued at General Synod 2019".
- "The Indigenous spiritual beliefs of the Anishnabe (First Peoples) never hurt anyone ! Yet, many generations of Christians were told by their faith leaders that Indigenous spiritual beliefs were a dark and threatening cloud pushed furiously forward and locked into the minds of savages by the scalding breath of the 'devil'. Because of this and because of Canada's Christian foundation, Indigenous spirituality was outlawed until the 1950s. To me, at least, a monstrous sin was committed by Canada for making it a crime to sing a beautiful song to Creator with the help of a drum or rattle. But at last, a church has seen fit to apologize to the First Nations, Inuit and Metis peoples for the spiritual harm the actions and deeds of the church brought to Indigenous spirituality. Many segments of Christian religions are guilty, but only the Anglicans have so far admitted that their condemnation of Indigenous spirituality was wrong. The Anglicans are brave and, I believe, righteous. They are ahead of their time ! I have a relationship of mutual respect going on presently, with the Anglicans".

- "Council of General Synod (CoGS) is asking leaders of the Anglican Church of Canada to encourage discussion, within provinces and dioceses, of the same-sex marriage amendment now awaiting its second reading at General Synod 2019". The resolution was approved by CoGS members 12 November 2017, following a request by Archdeacon Lynne McNaughton, chair of the CoGS working group on the canon, to "write down any questions they had about either the resolution to change the canon or the process of discussing the resolution ... The working group, she said, would compile answers to their questions in a 'fact sheet' to be given to provinces, dioceses and members of General Synod 2019". General Synod Chancellor (Lay Canon) David Jones answered some of the questions related to possible legislative procedure at the 2019 General Synod. "A second session on the marriage canon, also led by McNaughton, was meant to instruct members on how they might conduct 'respectful conversation' on the controversial resolution. McNaughton recommended a number of practices, all based on the idea of seeing the goal of conversation as understanding rather than changing another person's mind".

- "I began to write this, my first column for the 'Anglican Journal', on the plane heading back home after General Synod [2019]." "In a world that increasingly seeks to polarize people into rigid camps, marked by hatred or rejection of the other, we are called to be a community in which love is stronger than hate; in which disagreement on an issue does not demand separation; in which uniformity is not demanded; in which diversity is our teacher; in which we all acknowledge our own limitations and seek in good conscience to respond to God's call. In the midst of both rejoicing and agonized pain at General Synod, we continued to worship together: lifting our voices in song; praying together; and sitting together as children of God -- all called by name, all forgiven, all valued, all needed in community together. St. Paul's image of the body reminds us that no one is more important than the other; the body functions when all exercise their gifts for the sake of the whole. We do not yet live perfectly as the body of Christ, and we have wounded each other. However, I see the signs of hope as we grow into our calling".

- "The Anglican Church of Canada and the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada (ELCIC) have decided to postpone the date of their next Joint Assembly in 2022. When the national governing bodies of both churches met together for the first time in 2013, they agreed in principle to hold a second Joint Assembly in 2019. In a joint statement released February 2 [2017], ELCIC National Bishop Susan Johnson and Archbishop Fred Hiltz, primate of the Anglican Church of Canada, say organizers from both churches have been working to put the plan in place, with Vancouver chosen as host city. However, Hiltz and Johnson say they now foresee a number of challenges standing in the way of a 2019 Joint Assembly -- including insufficiencies of money and of time, given the busy agendas expected for both General Synod and the ELCIC's National Convention, and the difficulty of finding appropriate meeting places" (p. 1, 15).
