St. Dunstan’s will mark the 50th Anniverary of the Ordination of Women in the Anglican Church of Canada on Sunday, November 29 with the Ven. Beverley Stewart as presider, the Rev. Linda Varin as deacon, and the Rev. Helen Tervo as preacher. Fifty years ago on November 30, 1976, the Feast of St. Andrew, several people were ordained as priests in the Church of God at services across the country. Six of them were the first in a long succession of women to be ordained as priests in the Anglican Church of Canada. Join us marking this important occasion to celebrate the inclusive love and universal call for all God’s children.
