On June 5, Acting Primate Archbishop Anne Germond appointed Canon Ian Alexander as Interim General Secretary of the Anglican Church of Canada. Ian, a member of Christ Church Cathedral, is also currently Prolocutor of General Synod. We are grateful for his many ways of service to the Church and especially for stepping into this large role in the weeks leading up to General Synod. We ask that you keep him in your prayers as he serves in this way, and that you pray for all members of General Synod and the delegation from our Diocese who will meet in London, Ontario next week.
