Archbishop of Canterbury to visit Canada 

(Staff) THE ARCHBISHOP of Canterbury Justin Welby will visit Canada this spring.  The symbolic head of the global Anglican Communion has accepted an invitation from the Primate of the Anglican Church of Canada, Archbishop Linda Nicholls, and National Indigenous Archbishop Mark MacDonald.

From April 29 to May 3, Welby will meet with Indigenous Anglicans and Indigenous leaders in three communities: Prince Albert in northern Saskatchewan, Six Nations of the Grand River in southern Ontario, and Toronto.

During his six-day visit Welby will hear from residential school survivors, visit Indigenous communities and share in the Anglican Church of Canada’s work of reconciliation with Indigenous peoples, a news release from Lambeth Palace said.

One quarter of the bishops in the ACoC are Indigenous. 

This will be Welby’s third visit to Canada. He last visited in 2018 and earlier in 2014. He has made it his intention to visit every province of the Anglican Communion during his tenure as Archbishop of Canterbury. TAP
