I recall numerous fund raising efforts by the ACoC over the years – Anglicans in Mission and Survive and Thrive (Diocese of Niagara), for example.

From Anglican Mainstream. Some interesting ideas here that would never have occurred to me: Up in Canada, things aren’t much better.

Read it all here: Although not attended by great fanfare and ceremony, something quite remarkable seems to be happening in Singapore at the fourth Global South to South Encounter.
