All My Relations
Church of the Ascension is intentionally on a learning journey, and we
are committed to listening and walking alongside our Indigenous sisters
and brothers seeking justice, truth, and reconciliation.
Our parish supports the national Anglican Church in its efforts to create
right relations with Indigenous peoples through, among other actions,
apologizing for the role it played in the schools and apologizing
specifically for the spiritual harm that it caused.
A self-determining Indigenous Anglican Church is growing under the
leadership of our National Indigenous Archbishop and the Anglican
Council of Indigenous Peoples.
We welcome all comers to this conversation and invite you to contact
our All My Relations parish group, which focusses specifically on this
healing journey. Find a list of their activities and resources on our
website, and email one of the co-chairs to get connected.
