New appointment at General Synod

Notes: "The Anglican Church of Canada's new reconciliation animator says the church needs to see reconciliation as a 'gospel imperative' that transforms how the church operates". "[Melanie] Delva has worked extensively on reconciliation-related issues throughout her 12 years as a church archivist for the diocese of New Westminster and the ecclesiastical synod of British Columbia and Yukon. Delva's role will involve implementing the national church's response to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's 94 Calls to Action, and supporting the reconciliation efforts of local congregations and Anglican groups". Delva will take up her new position on 1 June 2017.
