About - Rupert's Land News

Connecting Church & Community

Rupert’s Land News is the official monthly publication of the Diocese of Rupert’s Land, in the Anglican Church of Canada. The e-magazine is published 10 times per year (September – June) and connects churches and communities from Portage la Prairie, MB, to Atikokan, ON by offering news, events, opinions, and ideas to thousands of readers per month.

Since 2014, RLN has evolved and achieved status as an award-winning publication in faith journalism. Our mission at RLN is to explore issues at the intersections of faith and life. This means that we are doing more than simply getting the news out. Our platform provides a voice for parishioners who would like to explore difficult or challenging topics and offer opinions and insightful solutions for moving forward. Parishioners have the opportunity to write about items close to their hearts as well as read and benefit from professional writers and experts on matters relevant to church and culture.

RLN solicits writers from both inside and outside of the Diocese, and thus publishes a range of opinions, not all of which reflect the official positions of the Diocese. Our team, composed of an editor (Cinna Baran), external designer (Mike Berg), and volunteer Advisory Board, strives to be innovative in the ways we serve the multiple demographics within our Diocese and the larger faith community.

In addition to our monthly e-magazine, RLN also distributes a weekly newsletter via email.The newsletter provides a format for current news and events relevant to our diocese to be shared in a concise matter.The magazine, in contrast, is a platform for exploring difficult and challenging topics, for creative expression, for learning about and from those within and without our churches, and for complex theological engagement. With the magazine we hope to cultivate thought, while enriching faith. While the newsletter is about the diocese, the magazine is for the diocese. Subscribers to RLN can choose to receive our monthly e-magazine exclusively, or our weekly newsletter in addition to our monthly magazine.

Length of Days

To begin this issue, I got a chance to sit down and chat with our new Bishop-Elect, Rev. Naboth Manzongo. In this interview, he shares his interests and hobbies, information about his prayer life and ministry, and some of the lessons he has learned throughout his life.

Then, on behalf of Alongside Hope (formerly PWRDF), Kaitlyn Duthie-Kannikkatt writes on the Grow Hope campaign. She tells us about what it is, how it works, how Manitobans are helping those all the way in Marsabit County, Kenya, and what each of us can do to support the project.

Following this, Rev. Theo Robinson says goodbye to the Diocese of Rupert’s Land as he moves to B.C. at the end of the summer. Looking back, he reflects on his faith journey and offers some advice for those who may be wondering what the point of going to church is.

Lastly, Rev. Andrew Rampton looks at how the patterns of daily prayer reflect the rhythms of our entire lives, not just our individual days. He does this by looking at how morning prayer reflects new life, midday prayer reflects the energy of midlife, evening prayer reflects the wisdom of age, and night prayer reflects the preparations for our death.

“The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with all of you” (2 Corinthians 13:13).

RLN exists to explore issues at the intersections of faith and life. In doing so we solicit and publish a range of opinions, not all of which reflect the official positions of the Diocese.

We acknowledge that we meet and work in Treaty 1, 2, and 3 Land, the traditional land of the Anishinaabe, Cree, and Dakota people and the homeland of the Métis Nation. We are grateful for their stewardship of this land and their hospitality which allows us to live, work, and serve God the Creator here.
