- Notes
- "Early in the year, the national church's website www.anglican.ca transitioned to a cleaner, fresher look that incorporates new ways to share pages through social media networks, clearer web pages that better introduce the church to newcomers, strengthened content ... Having grown measurably over the past couple of years, the site now welcomes more than half a million visitors each year, and it is an invaluable tool for information exchange and knowledge transfer across the church" (p. 3). "2011 also saw a major advancement in the church's ability to offer podcasts designed to enhance people's personal and devotional practices" (p. 3). "In the fall of 2011 the Rev. Jesse Dymond from the diocese of Huron joined the web staff as the first online community coordinator for General Synod. With wide experience in parish ministry, technology and communications, Dymond began work on an online community that will launch in 2012" (p. 3). "In 2011 the award-winning documentary 'Topadhewin: The Gladys Cook Story' as well as two other videos were made available free to a whole new generation of online viewers. Lisa Barry, senior producer for Anglican Video, says, 'The very best part of doing this work today is the capacity to make it all available through the worldwide web for Anglicans and others to see whenever they want to. I believe that our growing capacity for conversation with each other makes our relationships stronger and our story as Christians that much more powerful in this broken world'" (p. 4). "In addition to producing 10 newspapers in 2011 -- including special reports on the military chaplaincy and education -- the team at the 'Anglican Journal' has been working on a comprehensive five-year business plan to increase revenue, build capacity and achieve greater financial independence. In 2011, the 'Anglican Journal' corporation was wrapped up and the newspaper returned to being a ministry of the General Synod" (p. 4) "At 160,000 subscribers, the 'Anglican Journal' remains the largest Christian publication in Canada. 'We are particularly proud of the partnership nature of the Journal and the fact that it carries 23 diocesan newspapers', says Bev Murphy, senior manager for CIR [Communications and Information Resources]" (p. 4).
