The Anglican Church of Canada's mission statement:
As a partner in the worldwide Anglican Communion and in the universal Church, we proclaim and celebrate the gospel of Jesus Christ in worship and action.
We value our heritage of biblical faith, reason, liturgy, tradition, bishops and synods, and the rich variety of our life in community.
We acknowledge that God is calling us to greater diversity of membership, wider participation in ministry and leadership, better stewardship in God’s creation and a stronger resolve in challenging attitudes and structures that cause injustice.
Guided by the Holy Spirit, we commit ourselves to respond to this call in love and service and so more fully live the life of Christ.
In God’s Creation, change is constant. The world is in a constant state of flux. Not all change is for the better but, when it is rooted in God’s continuing creative and redemptive activity, it is always good. Within this work of God, we are summoned faithfully to feel our way forward, to map, assess, and learn from the swirling and flowing patterns of God’s work and to intentionally participate in it.
Within an overall emphasis on the newness and freshness of God’s Resurrection promise, Turning to Grace sets out three aspirations, to become: a learning church, a more just church, and a more diverse church. These things are built on the foundation of strategic stewardship and resource allocation. Specific Acts and Actions are outlined for each of these areas. These are collected together separately.
