- Notes
- The Amazing Grace Project raised $160,000 for Council of the North programs dealing with suicide prevention and leadership development. Editor Keith Knight writes: "While not trying to minimize the significance of the gift, the $160,000 came from only a few of the 640,000 members on the parish rolls. It represents, on average, just 25 cents per member. Imagine if, on a given Sunday this year, we all give just a loonie; a solitary loonie, less than the price of a cup of coffee. And imagine if 640,000 loonies were poured out onto the desk of Bishop David Ashdown, the chair of the Council of the North, or National Anglican Indigenous Bishop Mark MacDonald. That would truly be an outpouring of God's amazing grace and our amazing generosity ! Giving, after all, comes naturally to Anglicans. It is our covenantal response".
