Land Acknowledgement
Sacred covenants of mutual respect and relationship made in solemn witness of spiritual leaders from Indigenous Nations and from the Anglican Church began to be broken after the War of 1812, when the Anglican Church allowed itself to be absorbed into the British imperialist programme. These covenants reflected the primacy of sustainability, mutual regard, and sharing; and acknowledged this to be the territory of Indigenous Nations since time immemorial. The members of the congregation of the Epiphany & St. Mark Anglican Church, Diocese of Toronto, honour these covenants made by our forebears, and hold them to be the best hope for our future generations. We pray that all Canada will restore this sacred relationship.
