Canadian Lutheran Anglican Youth 2010

Lutheran and Anglican youth from across the country will gather August 19-22, 2010 in London, Ontario. Youth gatherings take place every two years with a new location each time. The last youth gathering was held in 2008 in Whitehorse, Yukon. Over 1000 participants made the journey from all parts of Canada to take part in the national event.

Previously known as the Canadian Lutheran Youth Gathering, it will now be called the Canadian Lutheran Anglican Youth (CLAY) gathering. It is the first time the national gathering will be jointly planned by both the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada (ELCIC) and Anglican Church of Canada (ACC). ELCIC and ACC have been in full communion under the Waterloo Declaration since 2001.

Information on the gathering, as well as regular updates and the pre-registration booklet will be available on the Hands On 2010 website.

Construction of St Jude's, Iqaluit Begins

Inside St Luke's, Iqaluit 2005

The Diocese of the Arctic has 51 congregations in the Northwest Territories, Nunavut and Northern Quebec and is the largest Anglican Diocese by area in the world.

Its cathedral, St Jude's in Iqaluit, was torched by an arsonist in November 2005. Shown is the inside of the cathedral before the fire. With its Inuit tapestries, its narwhal, sealskin and soapstone, and its iglu shape it showcased Inuit culture.

In June, the initial construction phase began to rebuild the cathedral. Over the last 3 years the Diocese has raised almost half the construction cost but still needs to raise another $3.5 million. The design of the new St. Jude's continues to reflect the predominant Inuit membership in the Diocese and will be shaped like the traditional Inuit snowhouse, the igluvigaq.
