The Anglican Foundation of Canada (AFC) has new money available for parish projects, and Diocesan Synod treasurer Heather Harris-Jones wants all parishes to understand the full benefits of the program.

“It’s for innovative, transformational ministry,” she said, adding this year’s theme is Viriditas—God’s Greening Power, meaning projects should focus on green, innovative and/or transformative ministries to qualify.

The Rev. David Smith has been appointed part-time incumbent in the Parish of Grand Manan effective Aug. 26. David has recently retired from the Diocese of Toronto.

The Rev. Isabel Cutler has been appointed a deacon at Christ Church Cathedral effective immediately after moving back to New Brunswick from the Diocese of Western Newfoundland.
