M25 Zoom Gathering for Clergy & Lay Leaders

December 6 | ON ZOOM | Registration Required |

Dear ANiC clergy,

Many of you would be familiar with the Matthew 25 Initiative (M25), an initiative of the ACNA, working to equip and sustain Anglicans serving alongside the vulnerable. Some of our clergy have travelled to attend M25 gatherings in the US and shared their experiences at our Tuesday Bishops’ Zoom meetings. Now we will all have the opportunity to get a taste of an M25 Gathering experience.

On December 6, 2022 join us in attending via Zoom an M25 Virtual Gathering specifically for ANiC and our context in Canada. M25’s vision is to see an Anglican expression of justice and mercy in every parish. This event will have a wide assortment of opportunities to learn and consider how we might cultivate and grow in these expressions in our own parishes including

• plenary talks on justice and mercy in an Anglican context
• breakout group discussions
• field reports
• plans for parish formation, affinity groups, and soul care
• soaking prayer
• and more.

The M25 Gathering events are designed to be a hybrid retreat and conference – offering space to worship, learn, heal and dream. The virtual events condense this vision into several hours, offering a taste of the richness of the full experience.

There will be speakers and leaders from across the continent, including Christine Warner (M25 Executive Director), Rev. Bill Haley, Dr. Danny Carroll R., and Rev. Herb Bailey II.

You can learn more about the Matthew 25 Initiative on their website: anglicanjusticeandmercy.org

You must register to attend. You can register using the link below.

Please also pass on this information to any lay leaders in your congregations involved in or called to mercy and justice ministries who you think might benefit.
