Remembering Archbishop David Crawley

It wasn’t long after I became the Ninth Bishop of Kootenay that I had a conversation with Archbishop David who said to me, “You know John, if you die within 5 years of retirement everyone will remember you, but after that no one will!” My predecessor was not wrong about many things, but he was […]

The Liberation of Creation

Arriving by train, we continued by bus through suburban roads towards the old city’s fortified walls. The remainder […]

As Summer 2025 drew to a close and we entered the warning Season of Creation, I found myself pondering the catastrophe that is global heating.

Breathing in the Spirit

Kristy Arndt — Tue, 30 Sep 2025 08:05:43 +0000

October is a beautiful month; the air becomes crisper, the sun drops lower, we give thanks for bountiful harvests and we celebrate St. Francis of Assisi, a person who deeply honoured creation and the Creator.
