Primate urges Canadians to give generously to earthquake response
The primate of the Anglican Church of Canada, Archbishop Fred Hiltz, has urged Canadian Anglicans to pray for the people of Haiti and the Canadian Haitian community, and to “give generously” to the relief efforts. “The people in Haiti have suffered so much in the past 10 years. Hurricane Jeanne ripped through the island in 2004 and in 2008, tropical storms took a huge toll. Now, a new disaster,” he said. Read the full story in the Anglican Journal.
