"A Vigil for British Columbia".

HERE

Archbishop Linda Nicholls, Primate  and Archbishop Mark MacDonald, National Indigenous Anglican Archbishop, will host "A Vigil for British Columbia".  HERE

The vigil will be an online national prayer service to lift up all those who have been impacted by the devastating floods experienced recently in the province.

Bishops of the Ecclesiastical Province of British Columbia and Yukon released a joint statement yesterday, noting that many “are still living in urgent situations following the extreme rainfall these past few days, stranded, evacuated from their homes, living without power”.

Archbishop Mark MacDonald has also written, “People are stranded and cut off from food, [medication] and emergency services. This is a catastrophe for communities, including the folks from Lytton [British Columbia], that have suffered so much in the past year. Our Indigenous Anglican churches are severely threatened. People are terrified. Please pray.”
