What would it truly look like for the church to be anti-racist? 

For our February Cathedral Chat, we will be joined by The Reverend Naomi Kabugi and Sarah Bird, two members of our diocesan anti-racism working group. Naomi and Sarah will talk with us about their group’s experiences and about how churches across our diocese might begin a similar process of intentional anti-racism work.  

Through our discussion, we will talk about the relationship between the difficult work of anti-racism and our own baptismal covenant. Because as Naomi and Sarah will remind us: Doing the work of anti-racism is an expression of our Christian faith. 

Please join us for what will prove to be a rich and important conversation.  

We will livestream the event on our YouTube page at 7:00pm on Wednesday February 16. There will be a Q&A session following the conversation. Viewers of the livestream will be able to ask questions through the chat feature. 

Members of our Cathedral parish are invited to participate in a time for reflection, sharing, and discussion via Zoom after the event at 8:15pm. 

February 26th 4-8pm

The walk will begin and end at 621 Barton Street East (by the EduDeo mural!) and teams will walk either 2 or 5 km  on a guided prayer walk along Barton Street, stopping at 541 Eatery & Exchange for a bagged meal, Helping Hands Street Mission for a coffee and snack, and a few other ministry-connected stops as well (outdoors). Teams will go out one after the other (no large groups, COVID-restrictions and protocol in place), with a paper guide to lead them and give information.     Registration is easy and free, and you don’t need to have a team all set up to register. Start by registering, and then invite your friends to join in over the next days or weeks.

PWRDF is forwarding an in-Canada emergency grant of $50,000 to support northern Indigenous communities responding to recent COVID surges in northern Manitoba.

The funds will be used to purchase and distribute face masks and supplies for cleaning and disinfecting. The needed supplies were identified by the Indigenous People's Alliance of Manitoba-North (IPAM-N).

Throughout the pandemic, IPAM-N has been supporting several communities with food hampers, educational supplies, and meals to those who are shut-in. They have also provided funds to hunters to buy gas so they can get out and harvest caribou which have then been shared within the community. While temperatures plunge to 30 and 40 degrees below zero, please keep these communities in your prayers as they try to self-isolate and return to good health.
