Legacies inspire legacies

Notes: "In 2022, the Anglican Church Women (ACW) in the Diocese of New Westminster established the ACW Council of the North Retired Clergy Fund with an initial gift of $100,000 and a challenge for others to contribute. The subsequent momentum to build it up is one of the best examples in AFC’s 65-year history of one legacy inspiring another. Not long after the seed gift was announced, an anonymous memorial gift of $150,000 arrived. A note from the donor said, “My parents were generous people, and they would have found a project of providing housing to people who have generously served the church as a fitting way to give to others what God gave to them".
