A letter from our bishop, The Rt. Rev. Linda Nicholls Dear friends in Christ, Today another horrific tragedy has taken place in New Zealand with... the killing of 49 people in two Mosques while people were at prayer. I cannot imagine the pain and sorrow of Muslims not only in New Zealand but in every country where they live wondering if someone hates them enough to do the same. Today I sent this note to the Imam of the London Mosque: Imam Amin Al-Ali Please let me extend the prayers of the Anglican Diocese of Huron for you and all who are horrified by the shootings in New Zealand today. The kind of hatred that can commit these acts is condemned by everyone seeking the common good for our communities. I cannot imagine the sorrow experienced not only in New Zealand but for all who live in fear of such acts anywhere in the world. We are committed to standing as neighbours with you in opposition to the hatred, bigotry, prejudice and violence that is at times expressed against your faith community here in Canada. You are welcome in our midst as we together build a just society for all God’s people. With much sorrow and with prayers for healing and peace, +Linda Nicholls Please consider reaching out to Muslims around your parish and sharing a note of encouragement and prayer. We are siblings under God and neighbours in our communities together. Our voice must be one of welcome, compassion and solidarity. In peace, +Linda

#Rough #AdventWord Luke the Gospel writer, quoting John the Baptizer quoting Isaiah the Prophet, proclaims that the "rough ways will be made smooth" in prepara...tion for the coming of God. This message, passed down through the ages, now comes to us and we are called to the task of making smooth. Harsh words, sharp elbows, and uneven temperaments are challenges to harmonious relationships, human and divine. Refinement is the process of making smooth and we are called to this work by the One who lovingly refines us. Pass it on. -The Rev. Oran Warder, VTS ‘88, St. Paul’s, Alexandria, Virginia
