- Notes
- "An Advent version of the 'Acts or Faith' gift catalogue is being readied for online shoppers who want to give something a bit different this Christmas. The Anglican Church of Canada's first alternative gift guide highlights ministries and suggests ways people can support them. It was first distributed in April [2010]. It is hoped that Anglicans choose to make it a big part of their Christmas gift-giving". "Those ministries that appear to resonate most strongly include The Primate's World Relief and Development Fund (PWRDF) and the suicide prevention project of the Council of the North. Although new to the Anglican Church of Canada, the fundraising vehicle has proved popular with World Vision, which pioneered the concept 10 years ago. Last year, donations to the World Vision gift catalogue totalled $18 million".
