Primatial Address
“Let go of old patterns… and soar renewed in faith.” In her shared Primatial address to the 44th General Synod in London, Ontario, Archbishop Anne Germond called the Anglican Church of Canada to bold hope, unity, and sacred risk-taking. Drawing on Isaiah’s vision of soaring eagles, she invited the church to shed old feathers and rise toward God’s new future.
