Rise Up, My Love

To begin this issue, the Right Reverend Rachael Parker, Bishop of Brandon, writes on her experience stepping into the role of bishop.

The Bible has a vast number of instances where God shows His love for His people. In the next article, Dr. Obren Amiesimaka tells us about many of these examples, especially in the story of Jonah. The message is clear: where there is love, God is there.

Following this, Dr. Ryan Turnbull introduces the Anglican Poetics Project. He provides insights as to how poetry can help our individual faith and the life of this Diocese. This project gives us an amazing opportunity to explore poetry with workshops, lectures, and retreats in this upcoming year.

Lastly, Ben Girgis shares how food is a way that we can imitate God’s love. He tells us how he learned from his mother and the Bible that God feeds His people, and therefore, we should feed one another. As many share Easter meals with family and friends, may we remember that God is the spiritual food that nourishes our souls.

Peace be with you, for truly, He is risen!
