- "In mid-January [2019], as the 'Anglican Journal' staff was preparing its March issue, it asked its Facebook followers about meaningful disciplines they had developed over Lent -- things they had given up, things they had taken on. A similar question was posted on the Anglican Church of Canada's Facebook page. We were privileged to hear about a wide variety of practices, apparently arising out of particular needs and circumstances, but all suggesting the idea of spiritual discipline for the sake of a new life". "Among the practices most often cited was abstaining from complaining." "Two wrote of abstaining from swearing, and of making an extra donation to the church or the Primate's World Relief and Development Fund when they did swear. Many also gave up various kinds of food: chocolate, sugar, added salt, popcorn; and other consumables: wine, cigarettes". "Five respondents said they had devoted themselves to extra Bible study and other forms of spiritual reading. Three took on extra volunteers work. Two gave up Facebook, and another stopped looking at her cellphone during lunchtime at work. One made a point of replacing guilt with intentional thanksgiving. One gave up buying new things; another abstained from using credit cards". Those interviewed included Archdeacon Megan Collings-Moore (Diocese of Huron), Louise Simos (Diocese of Toronto), the Rev. John Deepak Sundara (Episcopal Diocese of Dallas), Dawn Upham (Diocese of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island) and Chris Schryer (Diocese of Toronto).

- "In the third week of Lent [2015] I will be making a visit to the Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem with Andrea Mann, the director of global relations for our church". "We will meet with Archbishop Suheil Dawani and his chaplain, the Rev. Canon John Organ. His ministry has been supported for three years by a generous grant from the General Synod of our church". "We will return home with many stories, and I pray that in telling them, our Canadian Companions of the Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem will grow". "Throughout the visit, I will wear the pectoral cross that Archbishop Suheil gave me in 2009. It is a Jerusalem cross that bears five gems representing the wounds of Christ crucified -- his head, his hands, his feet and his side. This cross reminds me of an old Lenten hymn, 'O Dearest Lord', written by Henry Ernest Handy [sic i.e. Hardy] (1869-1946). .... My hope is that this hymn may inspire not only my keeping of Lent and Holy Week but all the days of my life in that Paschal Mystery into which I am baptized".

- Primate Fred Hiltz reflects on a picture published in the Globe and Mail in late January 2012 in anticipation of an upcoming meeting between the primate minister and First Nations chiefs. "In one armchair was seated the prime minister, the Right Honourable Stephen Harper; in the other, the National Chief of the Assembly of First Nations Shawn Atleo. The photo op captured, in a flash, the history of colonialism and the hope of self-determination". "The only stated objective of this meeting was to 'reset the relationship' between Canada and First Nations peoples. Many were hopeful that steps would be taken to repeal the age-old Indian Act. The prime minister's unwillingness to consider that was viewed a real block to resetting the relationship". "Given all this, I am pleased that our church is deeply committed to resetting relations with First Nations peoples. I hear expressions of repentance and contrition for wrongs committed. I hear words of apology and see endeavours to live the words spoken. .... I see people who really hear the desire for self-determination on the part of indigenous people and who want to really work with them to achieve it. I see humility that accepts the hand of fellowship in a journey of spiritual renewal leading to 'a new agape' -- a new love. I hear prayers that this country be guided on a new and different path. I make these observations not to extol how virtuous and wonderful we are but rather to encourage us to press on with this sacred work". And in conclusion, reflecting on this relationship in the context of the Lenten season: "After all, is that what this holy season is all about ? The resetting of our relationship with God, with one another and with the whole of creation".

- Notes
- "In recent years I have come to deeply appreciate the rites of smudging conducted by indigenous peoples". "This entire act is a rite of purification of body, mind and spirit in the service of the Creator". "While I appreciate the significance of imposing ashes at the onset of Lent, I have come to wonder if smudging might not be an equally powerful reminder of the true character of these 40 days. I wonder what the impact might be if there was a ceremony of smudging on each Sunday in Lent -- at the beginning of the liturgy or at the time of confession and intention 'to lead the new life following the commandments of God and walking from henceforth in his holy ways' (Invitation to Confession, 'Book of Common Prayer', p. 76)".
