ANNOUNCEMENTS
Bishop Sandra is pleased to announce the appointment of Heather Carter as our Diocesan Representative for The Anglican Fellowship of Prayer (AFP). Heather has had an active and inspiring prayer ministry with The Cathedral Church of All Saints for many years, including the use of the Diocesan labyrinth in Victoria Park for prayer and meditation, and introducing online meditation and the online Pray As You Can series during the pandemic. These online ministries continue to benefit those seeking community and new ways to pray. We look forward to Heather’s ministry as our AFC representative and offer our prayers for her as she takes on this new role. Heather succeeds the Reverend Frances Drolet-Smith, who resigned from her role on September 30th after serving as our Diocesan Representative for AFP for eight years. Bishop Sandra would like to extend thanks on behalf of our Diocese to Rev’d Frances for her ministry over that time in deepening our awareness of prayer and supporting access to prayer resources through AFP. We are blessed by this rich legacy of prayer.
