On September 7, 1959 a meeting of the General Synod of the Anglican Church of Canada created The Primate’s World Relief Fund.
We invite you to celebrate the 50th anniversary of this date by creating prayers that will be used across the country in local parishes. We are looking for prayers that reflect a variety of theologies and writing styles. A selection of prayers received will be made available online.
For inspiration we ask you to review the Mission and Vision of PWRDF.
Mission
PWRDF is a response by Canadian Anglicans to the gospel call to bear witness to God’s healing love in a broken world. Inspired by the vision of a spirit-filled community of hope, PWRDF walks together with partners in Canada and overseas to share in the creation of a more just and peaceful world. In joy and struggle, the Primate’s Fund engages in development work, responds to emergencies, works to protect refugees, and educates and advocates for change.
Vision
Communities fully restored to right relations based on God’s call for peace, justice, and the dignity of every human being.
