God is doing an amazing thing. But that doesn’t come without challenges. We’ve gone forward in faith. We’re faithfully following where God leads. Even as the national support available from the Anglican Church of Canada continues to dwindle, and even as Council of General Synod predicts their funds for Northern Ministry coming to an end within the next four years, we continue to grow and … Continue reading The Ask: Let’s not beat around the bush
“Nobody likes to ask for money, but the Lord calls us to be bold!”, says Bishop David Parsons. There can be no doubt that God is doing something absolutely astonishing in The Arctic. This diocese covers over 3.4 million square kilometers, ministering, training, and spreading the Good News of Jesus Christ in 49 communities, most dotting the bays and inlets of the Arctic coast. Every … Continue reading The Winter is Over!
Our diocesan theological college, Arthur Turner Training School (ATTS), has undergone a massive shift in the last six months. We’re still as committed as ever to the task of training northern people for northern ministry. What has changed is our model. We have shifted from a campus-based model, with our primary campus located in Iqaluit, to a hybrid model which combines distance education with twice-annual gatherings in hub communities.

Housing remains a major challenge to fulfilling our mission to carry the Good News of Jesus Christ to all the world. The harsh winters in the Arctic mean that houses aren’t the safe long-term investment that those from the south often count on. With heavy frost and limited access to tradespeople and building supplies, a single overnight freeze-up or furnace break-down when the house is empty can mean the house is uninhabitable without major repairs.
