Thirty years ago, a small group of Indigenous Anglicans met with a singular purpose. Following the 1993 apology offered by then Primate Michael Peers on behalf of the Anglican Church, twenty-one indigenous peoples from across Canada met in Winnipeg in April of 1994.
Creator God, we the children of your creation lift our prayer for those whose voices have been silenced, for those lost to the struggles of change and control, for the peoples suppressed for just existing.
As we step into May, I lift my prayers for all who walk forward in courage and bravery, beginning new journeys, new ministries and new blessings.
Creator God, we, your children of creation, come before you in this prayer with humble and open hearts.
