Blessings and congratulations to Bishop Shane Parker as he takes up the work and responsibilities as Primate Elect of the Anglican Church of Canada. Bishop Parker was elected during General Synod this week in London, Ontario and will be installed as the 15th Primate during Closing Worship this coming Sunday.
Bishop Parker preached at St Barnabas last June to mark the Solemnity of the Feast of St Barnabas, where he touched on a number of themes, including National Aboriginal History Month, and the role of St Barnabas in advocating both for the place of gentiles in the early church and for the spiritual leadership of St Paul.
