Each 8’ x 10’(2.4 m x 3 m) cabin includes lighting, heat, a fire extinguisher,a small fridge to safely store food, and a microwave. The idea ofusing the cathedral grounds as a demonstration site arose out of anumber of conversations about the housing crisis in Hamilton happening atthe same time, says the diocese of Niagara’s Archdeacon Bill Mous.As of press time, HATS was still searching for a location to set up a tiny cabin community, to includeportable bathrooms, showers, laundry facilities and regular garbage and recycling pickup.PM# 400696703Fundraisingduring thepandemic—and afterAn unaudited financialstatement released to Councilof General Synod (CoGS)from the church’s financialmanagement committee showsinvestment income helpingpropel General Synod to asurplus of about 3.6 million—on a total budget of 8.6million—for 2021.According to the draftstatement, income frominvestments topped 2.5million last year—roughly 2.3million more than budgeted.Total revenue—most of whichconsisted of contributionsfrom the dioceses—was alsoover budget, reaching 9.6million, or more than 1million more than projected.“Despite the dioceses facingall the challenges theySee INVESTMENT, p. 7New hymn compilationawaits Anglican voicesSean Franklingstaff writerAnglicans in Canada andaround the world may findthemselves singing some newhymns this spring. As thisarticle was being written, Singa New Creation, a supplementto the 1998 hymnal CommonPraise, was set to be released—and was said to be alreadyattracting interest both insideand outside the country.And what’s more, theproject was begun and led byvolunteers.Since the 1970s, churchpractice has been to publish anew hymnal every 25 years orso, and a supplement about 10years after each new editioncomes out, says KennethHull, a retired professor ofmusic at the University ofWaterloo and the convener ofthe committee that compiledthe new supplement. But withfewer staff to dedicate thanever before and the AnglicanChurch of Canada’s in-housepublishing capacities greatlyreduced over the past decade,the 10-year anniversary ofCommon Praise came and wentwith no sign of a supplement.Hull made several inquiriesabout starting one, but whenit became clear that a fullyfunded project wasn’t likely,he stepped up to lead it as avolunteer.“Particularly in the last 50years, congregational songhas been changing rapidly,”says Hull.

anglican journal may 20223FUNDRAISING4Sean Franklingstaff writerOlderAnglicans,Barretto notes,can’t continuegiving at thesame ratesforever. Unlessthe church canbetter engageyoungerdonors,the overalldownwardtrend willlikely continue.When the pandemic began, CanadaHelps, acharity that offers online donation solutionsfor churches and other charities, beganwork on an expanded version of its annualGiving Report, says Jacob O’Connor, thecharity’s Senior Vice President of Charity,Engagement and Growth.“In light of the pandemic and what wewere seeing on the ground with charities,we felt a responsibility to speak loudlyabout what was going on and advocate onbehalf of all charities,” he says.Normally, the report focuses on trendsin online giving throughout Canada’s nonprofit sector. But the 2021 edition includeddata on charitable giving by any meansacross Canada, plus a look at trends in theyears surrounding the last major economicrecession in 2008.The charity found the pandemic hitthe charitable sector hard—with a 10 percent loss in donations across the country,totaling about 1 billion down from theprevious year. As in the previous recession,there was a strong correlation between thedrop in Canada’s gross domestic product(GDP) and Canadians’ patterns of giving.When GDP fell in 2020, so did donations.In addition to that drop in donations,charities across the country saw suddenjumps in demand for their services as stressand financial instability from the pandemicleft more people relying on everythingfrom mental health aid to food banks.With in-person methods of fundraising nolonger an option, many non-profits foundthemselves squeezed from both directions.Not all the news is bad, though. Onlinegiving, for example, had been growingsteadily at a rate of around 21 per cent eachyear, but in 2020 it shot up by 86 per cent,year-over-year. Especially among religiousorganizations, “in-person services werekind of gone overnight and for a long timeafter,” says O’Connor. So going onlinebecame the best option they had.As a result, even during the leanesttimes in 2020, there was a significantjump in Canadians’ giving through onlineThe pandemic hit Canadian charities hard—to thetune of 1 billion in donations in 2020 alone, accordingto one estimate. Why were things different for thechurch—and what might the future hold?According to theCanadaHelpsreport, those aged55 and up give attwice the rate ofthose aged 25 to55.GIVINGDODGINGA BULLETphoto: rawpixel.comimage: volha hlinskayaand saskia rowleyAGEmethods.As this article was being written,the 2022 Giving Report, with moreinformation on 2021, was not yet available.But O’Connor says that preliminary datashow that as GDP began to recover lastyear, rates of giving did, too.Donations to General Synod never sawthe dramatic 2020 dip that hit the rest ofthe non-profit sector. Deborah Barretto,Director of Resources for Mission for theAnglican Church of Canada, monitorsincoming donations and correspondsdirectly with donors. She says that whilethe trend in recent years has been a slowdecrease in donations as the averagechurchgoer ages and congregations shrink,“during the pandemic, we’ve actually seenan increase in donations.”In 2020, the church reported 468,230in revenue from Resources for Mission,up from 440,718 in 2019. In 2021, thatnumber rose again to 601,682, accordingto an unaudited statement presentedto Council of General Synod in March(see “Church may have surplus of 3.6million for 2021,” p. 1, for coverage of thatstatement).Barretto says her conversations withdonors suggest this increase has comefrom a sense of urgency about the church’sministries during the pandemic and thesocial strife it has uncovered.“When I call them to thank them, theysay they feel at this time it’s more necessarythan ever to support the national church,”she says. “People are experiencing theirown economic hardships. Despite that,people stretch themselves—which I think isthe true meaning of generosity—[knowing]that other people are in a worse situationthan they are.”While the church does not collectdemographic data on its donors, Barrettonotes that anecdotally, they tend to skewolder, with some known to be in their 70sand 80s.According to the CanadaHelpsreport, those aged 55 and up give attwice the rate of those aged 25 to 55. Andindeed, Barretto says, the church’s agingmembership may well be the reason for itsstable donations during the pandemic. Still,she notes, older Anglicans can’t continuegiving at the same rates forever. As theycontinue to age, their incomes shrinkand eventually they pass away, meaningthat unless the church can better engageyounger donors the overall downwardtrend will likely continue.One piece of advice both O’Connorand Barretto offer is that younger donorstend to respond better to specific causesas opposed to institutions. For example,O’Connor says, CanadaHelps got a sizeableresponse from donors under 55 when itset up two funds to aid underserved racialcommunities and Indigenous peoples inthe wake of 2020’s rise in concern overinequality.Barretto says the church has alreadybegun efforts to highlight the specificcauses its mission funds go to support—including racial equity projects and aidto Indigenous communities throughthe church’s department of IndigenousMinistries. But she cautions that factorslike employment instability and inflationwhich impact young peoples’ financialadvancement may complicate the goal ofincreasing the pool of younger donors.Until the future becomes clearer, shesays, “We need to proceed with optimism,but caution. We’re careful with howwe spend, but we also have to invest infundraising to get back.”The money Resources for Missionbrings in is just a small part of the AnglicanChurch of Canada’s revenue.

4anglican journalANGLICANVOICES4 may 2022A changing churchA tale of two cookbooksBy David HarrisonIN 1972, THE “Women’s Auxiliaryfor Outreach” at St. Margaret’sAnglican Church in New Toronto—aneighbourhood in southwest Toronto—published From Our Kitchen to Yours,a classic parish cookbook with the sortof recipes you might expect from theearly 1970s: quick tomato aspic, salmoncasserole, creamed pork chops, andtomato soup cake (to name a few). Itoffers a very bland diet. Sure, there is ateaspoon of paprika or garlic powderhere and there. But for the most part it’spretty much salt and pepper all the way.And, as for “diversity,” there are Danishmeatballs (is it the ½ tsp of mace whichmakes it Danish?), Hawaiian chicken (thisis the spiciest recipe in the collection, withgarlic salt, ginger and mace), and “WesternChinese” casserole (complete with onepackage of Lipton’s onion soup mix!).Fast forward to today and St. Margaret’shas produced a new cookbook, tomark the parish’s 115th anniversary.It’s the “new Toronto community 2021cookbook” (small letters intentional). Theintroductory message from the cookbook’seditor, Jannah Wigle (lifelong parishionerand recent PhD graduate!), states thebook’s purpose: helping St Margaret’s “tocontinue providing key programs andservices for residents in South Etobicoke,and beyond.” This cookbook includes anostalgic section of excerpts from the1972 book (as well as the 2006 cookbookproduced when the parish turned 100).And it certainly includes lots of “classics”:Great Granny’s pancakes, meat loaf, andmy own contribution: a simple raisinpudding my family calls “radio pudding”because my grandmother heard the recipeon the radio but missed the title. (I grewup eating radio pudding for dessert inEtobicoke, not far from St. Margaret’s.)But this new version also has chapati(East African flat bread), and curriedcabbage (submitted by the parish priest ofSt. Margaret’s, the Rev. Jacqueline Daley).There is Nigerian jollof rice, Indian lentildal soup with ghee, Iroquois three sisterssoup, Nigerian egusi soup (which includesground crayfish, dry fish, ogiri okpei,onugbu leaf, hot pepper, garlic, ginger,and uzuza leaf!), Bahamian fire engine,Jamaican curried goat, timan bagila, andSri Lankan love cake. (And many more.)All of which make garlic seem quite tame.Clearly the St. Margaret’s of 2022 is notthe St. Margaret’s of 1972.LETTERS4The AnglicanJournal welcomesletters to the editor.Since not all letterscan be published,preference isgiven to shortcorrespondence (300words or less). Allletters are subject toediting.photo: ra2studio5 From tomatosoup cake toJamaican curriedgoat: In the last50 years, theSt. Margaret’scookbook hasbecome muchspicier—and sohas the churchitself, writes theauthor.photo: david harissonAnd it is not only the recipes whichmark this change. It is also the content.The 1972 version dedicates an entire pageto (yes) Beatitudes for the Housewives.(“Blessed is she whose daily tasks are alabour of love: for her willing hands andhappy heart translate duty into privilegeand her labour becomes a service to God.”I’ll spare you the other eight.) And it’sfull of small advertisements from localbusinesses.The new version, however, is acommunity cookbook in an entirelydifferent way. Some of the recipes havebeen submitted by people who don’t attendthe church but live nearby. Many arerecipes used at St. Margaret’s to feed thevulnerable and the hungry. And instead ofpious words for housewives, the cookbookis full of pictures of St. Margaret’s in serviceand mission to the community, depictingits weekly soup-to-go, its Christmas andEaster meals, its monthly communitydinners.Over the past year I have had theopportunity to come alongside St.Margaret’s as it celebrated its anniversary.One of my tasks was to delve into thearchives and help tell the story of how theparish has changed and evolved. (Hencemy discovery of the 1972 cookbook.)Order of the Diocese of Toronto honoureeRebecca Wang (who served as the parishorganist and choir director for 50 yearsuntil her retirement in 2018) tells methat, in 1972, St. Margaret’s was a classicAnglican parish. The pews were full, thecongregation and choir sang traditionalAnglican music lustily, and all the womenwore hats. Her family and one other werethe only non-white people in the parish.And what of St. Margaret’s today?What I discovered is a simple yet elegantbuilding, tucked among modest homes,in a diverse, working-class community.Many newcomers to Canada, all peopleof colour, mix (in the pews and inleadership) with those who are lifelongmembers. The building is seldom if everempty but is, instead, constantly a placeof respite, warmth, and sustenance forthe community. The music is lively, witha definite Cuban feel, thanks to Rebecca’ssuccessor, Pedro Quintana. There is somuch going on, day by day, that theoutdoor sign barely has space to fit it all in.Meeting budget is never easy but somehowby the grace of God and the generosity ofmany, there is just enough. “A communitychurch and a community hub for all” ishow St Margaret’s sees and bills itself.The Church is changing. We knowthat. We can feel it. And at St. Margaret’s,I got to see it. On the ground. In thecommunity. Worshipping. Gathering.Feeding. Serving. Comforting. Gritty.Determined, Courageous. Real.And, yes, wonderfully spicy! gCanon David Harrison is a freelance priest inthe diocese of Toronto, director of music atSt John the Evangelist in Kitchener, Ont. anddirector of the doctor of ministry programat the Saskatoon Theological Union. Heis expecting to graduate with a doctorateof ministry in online worship this springfrom Bexley Seabury Seminary in Chicago.Harrison spent 2021 getting to know thenooks and crannies of the Body of Christ,including and especially St Margaret’s.Keep ‘catholic’ in the creedsI am afraid that in her letter (“More onreconciliation and creeds,” Letters, March 2022,p. 4) Ann Knutson’s logic rather escapes me.Removing the word “catholic” from our creeds willnot suddenly absolve anyone from the hurt of theresidential schools, Catholics or Anglicans alike.I do not need to shake my head when I grapplewith the concept of Anglicanism being part of theHoly Catholic Church. While we are a Protestantchurch we are also a direct descendent of theRoman Catholic church of the 16th century. Tostart to deny that now would call into questionmany of our beliefs, thereby leading to thedismantling of Anglicanism as we know it.Perhaps the writer is looking for a spiritualhome more in the United or Baptist expressions ofProtestantism?David CollinsVictoria, B.C.Online Eucharist is enough if webelieveFurther to Cathy Laing’s letter (“Struggling withPandemic Eucharist,” Letters, March 2022, p. 4) Ihave had the option of receiving the Eucharist foralmost two years, via Zoom. This has been throughan ELCIC congregation of which I was a memberfor 15 years before moving to Victoria.Members of the congregation raise theirown bread and wine as the presider does in theblessing and subsequently partake in concertwith the pastor. It is my belief that if we believein the power of the Holy Spirit, this is merelyan acceptance of that power. Too simple? It’senough for me. This celebration has sustained thecongregation throughout the pandemic and alsogiven opportunity to far-flung relatives and friendsto join.David HandleyVictoria, B.C.

anglican journalSINGINGWITH JOY4 may 20225Faith and making it through the whitewaterBy Linda NichollsILIKE TO HAVE a clear path from theacknowledgment of a problem to itssolution. If something is wrong, fix it.If it is complicated, lay out a plan with thesteps needed.That approach works when the problemis understood and a solution can beseen—even if it may take some time toaccomplish. It does not work when theproblem is complex and solutions arenot evident from the information orexperiences of the past. The way forwardmay be a winding path of trial and errorthat requires risk-taking and dealing withambiguity—an unsought adventure!In the summer or fall I enjoy wildernesscanoe trips, which are always adventuresindeed. My companions and I cantake comfort in our maps, but manyunpredictable factors remain—especiallythe weather and the wildlife. We travelwith just the essentials for food, clothing,shelter and safety, since these supplies haveto be carried—either over a portage, or ina canoe which, for safety reasons, cannotbe overloaded in winds and bad weather.We prepare for what we know, and trust wehave the tools and gear necessary to adaptif we meet the unexpected. There are daysof slow, steady travel and predictability—and then there are days when nothinggoes the way we had planned. Every tripends with stories to tell: Remember when5 “The wayforward may bea winding path oftrial and error thatrequires risktaking and dealingwith ambiguity—an unsoughtadventure!”photo: dugdaxthe bear snuffled the tent! Remember whenthat storm caught us on the lake! Rememberwhen we lost our way!For a few years I also shared inwhitewater trips, where instability andchange are daily fare. There may bestretches of calm water followed by a lifethreatening wild run where every ounceof your concentration and skill is needed.Although skill will keep you upright andhelp you navigate the rocks and waves, youknow you are not in control of the water.The river is powerful and carries you alongwhether you are on the water or in it, nearan upside-down canoe!The life of faith is surely an adventurealso! It places us sometimes on a slowmoving river with predictable strokes andpatterns of life, and at other times a wild,whitewater run of change. We are surelyon one of those whitewater stretches now,as powerful forces of social, political andeconomic change reshape our world. As Iwrite this reflection, we see daily imagesof the horrific war in Ukraine. By the timeyou read it, that war may have ended—orwe may be in a bigger conflagration thatengulfs the world. We are being carriedalong by powerful forces that are not oursto control, though we can at least pray,offer compassionate support and advocatefor peace.Today calls for change in how we liveout our faith and respond to the rapidlyshifting environment. We will need tocall on the skills we have, the knowledgeof our tradition; but we cannot turn backor slow these developments. We can onlyconcentrate on this moment in time andask what is needed now to be faithful toour calling to reflect the Good News.The disciples, in the time that followedthe Resurrection, were also living day today—in their case, into the joy unleashedby the risen Christ. They too had to ask,“What does this Good News ask us to beand do today?” Their faithfulness handedon the hope of the gospel to us. Now wemust live it in a different time, but withequal faithfulness. May their couragebe ours today and tomorrow, whateveradventure lies before us! gArchbishop Linda Nicholls is the primate ofthe Anglican Church of Canada.Money and baptismWALKINGTOGETHERA post-Easter reflectionBy Mark MacDonaldADULTS PREPARING FOR baptismin the early Church were taught topractice three primary disciplines:prayer, fasting and the giving of alms incare of the poor. The time before the Eastercelebration was dedicated to daily prayerand instruction, usually by the bishop. Thegospels were at the heart of this time.Later, when fewer people were baptizedas adults, these practices were rememberedas people prepared to experience Easterresurrection. The baptismal disciplines—prayer, fasting, and the giving of alms—became the focus of Lent. As baptismalpreparation or as a Lenten discipline, theywere identified as fundamental to Christiandiscipleship, the clearest expression of a lifethat had been touched and transformed byGod.It is the third practice that is myconcern here, the giving of alms. Itwas seen as a primary and essentialelement of Christian faith. It was theclearest indication that a person knewto whom their money and resources5 “In the joy ofour resurrectionin Jesus . thereis no more urgentquestion thanhow we are usingGod’s moneyand resources,the money andresources of thepoor.”photo: addkmbelonged. Without this step, you werealmost certainly the slave of money andnot completely yielded to the deep andhealing grace found in Jesus.You and I would probably agree thatthe money and resources of our churchbelong to God. You have certainly heardour preachers saying that our personalresources belong to God. What wehaven’t heard very often in our time isthe opinion of many of our early Churchelders.

6anglican journal may 2022WORSHIP4photo: conrad grebel university collegeSing a New Creation includes a new category of hymn—songs of lament. They make up a small part of the supplement, but if the hymnal committee had knownabout the pandemic before the contents were finalized in 2017, it might well have added more, says committee convener Kenneth Hull.Hymnal project led by volunteersContinued from p. 1“The idea ofdoing anotherhymn bookproject seemedoverwhelming. We didn’thave apublisher, noneof the staffwho had beenaround forCommon Praise.PraiseSo we keptsaying to theselovely churchmusicians [likeHull] ‘Sorry,but.’—The Rev. EileenScully, GeneralSynod’s director ofFaith, Worship andMinistrypublish supplements, he says, becausethey can help the church keep up withmusical trends and try out new ideas thatmay or may not make their way into thepermanent rotation of hymns. “It’s a veryimportant part of the character of whatwe sing on Sunday that it is rooted in ourhistory. And that the church has testedand weighed and decided ‘this is really akeeper.’”The church was clear that due toshrinking attendance and resourcesnationwide, it could not fund and staffthe new project as extensively as it hadCommon Praise, says the Rev. EileenScully, General Synod’s director of Faith,Worship and Ministry. “The idea of doinganother hymn book project seemedoverwhelming. There was simply no way.We didn’t have a publisher, none of thestaff who had been around for CommonPraise. So we kept saying to these lovelychurch musicians [like Hull] ‘Sorry, but.’”Prospects looked bleak, she said,until Hull and his team came forwardto volunteer. So they began what wouldbecome the decade-long endeavor ofcompiling and publishing Sing a NewCreation.The committee assembled some of thecontent of the book from submissionsby and consultation with members ofdioceses across Canada, says Hull. But itfound most of them by culling varioushymnals written since the last edition ofCommon Praise.As the book came together, he says,several trends emerged.First, the committee set out to includemusic from a wide variety of sourcesSing A NewCreation beginsshipping onMay 17 and canbe purchasedthrough theAnglican Churchof Canada eStore(www.anglican.ca/store) as wellas major onlinebook retailers,or directly fromChurch PublishingInc.across Canada—both geographically andethnically, Hull says. The songs they pickedincluded some of what Hull refers to as“paperless hymns”—songs musicians canteach to a congregation without the needfor members sitting in the pews to havea copy of the book themselves or evento follow along on slides. And, he says,they added an important new category ofhymn—lament—which they wove into asection of hymns of praise.Hull says the inclusion of that elementgoes back to a conversation he had withAnglican liturgist the Rev. Paul Gibson inthe wake of the terrorist attacks of Sept.11, 2001. He and Hull had been discussinghow to run a wo

The protein that is formed? Gene Expression DNA has many regions, some of them are coding regions – the genes which code for proteins, and other regions are non-coding regions which can switch the genes on or off and therefore determine if they will be expressed (if their protein will be produced) or not. Your cells have all of your genes but your cells don’t need to express all of these .
