April Issue

Dear friends,

The April issue of Perspective is here with news and stories from across the Anglican Diocese of Ottawa.

This issue offers inspiration for the rest of your Lenten journey looking toward the dawn of Easter.

Bishop Shane Parker shares the story of a remarkable hike through the summits of the Maumturks, in County Galway, Ireland when a thick fog hemmed him in on all sides and the parallels he sees in our faith journeys.

The Rev. Canon Stephen Silverthorne writes of the good news Easter offers to all who are burdened by the cares of this life.

A story from All Saints’ Westboro highlights the challenges and joys of being home to the Westboro Region Food Bank for the past 40 years, welcoming and caring for vulnerable neighbours.

All Saints Greely shares an update on their mission to keep milk bag plastic out of landfills by weaving the bags into soft, waterproof mats that provide comfort to people sitting or sleeping on the streets.

And you can catch up on highlights from the joyful celebrations of Black History Month.

Explore these stories and more in this month’s edition of Perspective.

Read it now.

Sincerely,

Leigh Anne Williams
Editor, Perspective and Crosstalk
