About Synod 2019
Him We Proclaim
Our annual synod gathering will be in Ottawa this year, hosted by St. Peter & St. Paul’s. It is our 12th Synod as the Anglican Network in Canada. Our theme this year is “Him We Proclaim” taken from Colossians 1:28-29:
“Him we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone mature in Christ. For this I toil, struggling with all his energy that he powerfully works within me.”
Our aim is to theme all aspects of our gathering around the proclaiming of Christ and the bringing of our people to maturity in him.

Workshops
WORKSHOP DAY - Wednesday
On the Wednesday of Synod we have our workshops. When you register you’ll be able to select which two you’d like to attend. This year we’re focusing around our 5 Priorities, how they relate to proclaiming Christ and specific, tangible ways to implement them. Here is a list of our current lineup for 2019:
TELLING A BETTER STORY | Loving Children & Families
Rev. Jeremy Graham - Priority Leader
Proclaiming the gospel in a culture of SOGI, Snapchat and Sunday soccer – This workshop will explore the impact of rapid changes in Canadian culture on the ways we seek to do evangelism and discipleship for children, youth and families.
THE BIBLE & APOLOGETICS | Biblically Grounded
Rev. Daniel Gilman - Deacon & Apologist
When we talk to people about the Christian faith it is not uncommon that they will level criticisms about the Bible. What are some of the typical criticisms? What is a wise answer? How do you engage in "apologetic" conversations in general? Our workshop leader is The Rev'd Daniel Gilman. He is an ANiC transitional Deacon, and he is on staff with RZIM Canada as an apologist.
REACHING COMMUNITIES THE JESUS WAY | On Mission
Rev. Neil Van Heerden - Priority Leader
It is vital that we continue to proclaim Him outside of our church building. During this workshop, we will be looking at how Jesus affected the communities of His day and how can we effectively reach ours. We will look at various practical ways to start or increase outreach and mission programs at your church or group. Every community can be impacted by the Gospel and we will explore how to make correct choices regarding the community you are in.
GOOD NEWS FOR EVERYTHING | Bold Witnesses
Scott Hunt - Priority Leader & ANiC Comm Director
To be bold about the gospel with everyone everywhere in everything, we have to be convinced we have something which dramatically affects everyone everywhere in everything. But how? How can we speak the gospel directly into everyday stuff—parenting, pornography, divorce, technology, anxiety, miscarriage, school, dating? That’s what we’re going to explore in this workshop, through practical, real-world examples: how to train people to be bold with the good news about Jesus by seeing it as it is: good news for everything!
Planting & Growing Churches
Roundtable Panel - including: Bishop Charlie Master, Bishop Trevor Walters, Bishop Stephen Leung, Bishop Ron Ferris, Canon George Sinclair, Rev. Daniel Avitan
This discussion will revolve around the diverse spectrum of church planting and growth approaches available within ANiC and how they can be developed and implemented.
