In this issue, Bishop Anna encourages parishes to spend more time eating together and to bring more people to the table; churches get creative to raise funds for new pipe organs and pianos; the Metchosin Challenge enters its tenth year; and more! 

Read the March 2026 issue of Faith Tides. 

Faith Tides is the online, faith-based publication of the Anglican Diocese of Islands and Inlets (BC). Through news stories, reflections and feature articles Faith Tides aims to showcase the work God is doing through our churches. It is a space where people of faith and doubt can walk alongside one another, share their stories and grow together.

The diocese and all ecumenical partners are invited to a youth and young adult service at St. Peter, Quamichan (Duncan) on April 26 at 7 PM. This evening service is intended for those ages 13–30, and will be led by youth and young adults, with opportunities for participation in readings, music, prayer, and fellowship.

The service is intended to create a welcoming space for young people from different parishes to gather in worship, build connections, and share in community together. There will be a social time following the service, with refreshments.

For more information contact Theo Robinson at trobinson@bc.anglican.ca.

All are invited to join Bishop Anna and The Rev. Christine Conkin for a summer retreat on beautiful Salt Spring Island. We will spend time reflecting together on our call to be the salt of the earth amidst the very real challenges of these turbulent 2020s. We’ll talk about power and empires and how the church needs to organise and mobilize in order to incarnate God’s love and justice.      

Registration is $100 and includes two dinners. To register CLICK HERE.    

Participants need to make their own transportation arrangements and find their own accommodation on Salt Spring Island. For accomodation options CLICK HERE. You are encouraged to make your reservation as soon as possible as Salt Spring always fills up in the summer time.
