- "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".

- Guest column. Speaking about his involvement with the resolution presented at the 2019 General Synod, Rabbi Stein said: "I had spent several weeks working with Bishop [Bruce] Myers to plan our presentation, and I was aware that it was a truly amazing moment. A bishop inviting a rabbi to share his thoughts on a prayer 'For the conversion of the Jews' -- offensive content for Jews throughout our historical relationship with Christianity -- and the proposed replacement: a 'Prayer for reconciliation with the Jews'". "The Anglican Church has mad a significant effort, particularly since the 1980s to acknowledge and tackle the issue of Christian antisemitism. Examples include the removal of a supercessionist Good Friday collect from the 'Book of Common Prayer' in 1992 and the powerful document 'From Darkness to Dawn' (Christian post-Holocaust reflections on antisemitism), published in 1989 and reprinted and disseminated again in 2015 through the active leadership of Bishop Myers". "The timing of this decision is poignant. A recent Tel Aviv University study found that last year saw the highest number of Jews murdered in antisemitic attacks in decades. The Jewish community is experiencing a sense of vulnerability that, at least here in North America, is perhaps unprecedented -- due in no small part to the two fatal shooting attacks on synagogues in the United States in the past year. By replacing the prayer for conversion with one of reconciliation and acknowledgement of the history of Christian antisemitism, the Anglican church has sent a compelling message to the Jewish community that you stand with us at this worrisome time".

- Notes
- "The writer of 'Leave the BCP alone' (Letters, Nov. 2016, p. 5) must have been put out to pasture a long time ago, just as I have been. I looked up the former third collect for Good Friday (which asks God to 'have mercy upon the Jews, thine ancient people'). I am grateful that you published what the Rev. Paul Jennings calls the 'theological equivalent of hate speech' (Letters, Jan. 2017, p. 4)". "Alan Perry sets the record straight when he says that the above-mentioned collect was declared 'inappropriate for use in public liturgy in the mid-1960s by the House of Bishops and formally deauthorized by the General Synod and omitted from further printings of the BCP in 1989' ('Repudiate toxic ideas', Letters, Jan. 2017, p. 4)". "Thank you for publishing those letters. It has been a teaching and a blessing in disguise".)
