Epiphany & St Mark Anglican Church – We are an inclusive and vibrant community of God's people in Parkdale

All are welcome here!

Come as you are, struggling, questioning, confident, joyful, grieving…there is a place here for you.

We offer a safe and welcoming space free from judgement and discrimination, inclusive of all, regardless of race, gender, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, nationality, ethnicity, marital status, physical or mental ability, political stance, or theological perspective.

We celebrate our love for one another as followers of Jesus within our congregation and within our community, sharing our space, and working with and learning from partners who make Parkdale, Toronto, and the Earth a more just, supportive, healing, and sacred space. Our roots include a strong heritage of over 60 years of leadership and participation from members of Toronto’s Black Caribbean community, strengthening our commitment to anti-racism in all forms.

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.
