- Notes
- At the July 2019 meeting of the General Synod, clergy and lay delegates will elect the 14th primate of the Anglican Church of Canada. "The 'Anglican Journal' asked the five primatial candidates to share how they would serve the church, and where they see Good leading the Anglican Church of Canada. To read the candidates' complete responses to primatial nominee forms, visit the General Synod website at gs2019.anglican.ca". Five nominees: Jane Alexander, Bishop of Edmonton; Ronald Cutler, Bishop of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island; Gregory Kerr-Wilson, Bishop of Calgary and Metropolitan of the Ecclesiastical Province of Rupert's Land; Linda Nicholls, Bishop of Huron; and Michael Oulton, Bishop of Ontario.
- "How would you serve the church as primate ? I would do my best to be a servant of the church, understanding the primacy as a role which relies on faithful relationships and shared vision for God's church. .... Where is God leading the Anglican Church of Canada ? I think that God is leading us into a time of change where we have to be open to the many ways of being church outside of the traditional Sunday service. It is also a challenging time because our attendance figures show us that we need a very different strategy for reaching younger people and more flexibility in forming church commiunities."
