When Reconciliation Costs Us Something

Reconciliation is not sustained by annual observances alone. It grows through faithful relationships, honest listening, and the courage to let repentance reshape the way we live. This reflection challenges the Church to move beyond good intentions and embrace the ongoing work of truth, justice, and healing with Indigenous peoples—one faithful step at a time.

Truth That Walks: Reconciliation Beyond Good Intentions

The work of truth and reconciliation is not complete because we have acknowledged the past. The Gospel calls the Church beyond good intentions into faithful action—listening deeply, building authentic relationships, and pursuing justice with humility and courage. Reconciliation is not a destination but a lifelong journey of discipleship, where our prayers become partnerships and our faith becomes visible in the work of healing.

Finding time for the little things in ministry as an Anglican Priest

In the midst of busy schedules and endless responsibilities, it is often the smallest acts of kindness that leave the deepest mark. A handwritten note, a bedside communion, a few unhurried moments with someone who feels forgotten—these quiet gestures become powerful signs of God’s love. This reflection reminds us that faithful ministry is measured not by how much we accomplish, but by how well we love the people God places before us.
