About

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 a part-time editor (Jude Claude), external designer (Mike Berg), advertising manager (Angela Rush), 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.

In our Community Catechesis section, Gwen McAllister introduces readers to the Korean concept of han and its connection to sin, as outlined by theologian Andrew Sung Park.

Then, Merrill Grant, Kaitlyn Duthie-Kannikkatt, and Sandra Bender each reflect on institutional sin in relation to the well-being of sex and gender diverse populations.

Next, RLN features a generative art piece by artist Megan Krause, whose work offers meditations on “the push and pull that happens between humans and nature” and the “unrelenting power of nature and the respect it deserves”.

Finally, this issue concludes with a review of Dr. J. Kameron Carter’s webinar From the Religion of Whiteness to Religion Otherwise.

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 Metis 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.
