The first bishop’s father, George Hamilton (1781-1839) was born in Ireland of Scottish parents. By 1806, he had established a branch of the family trading business at Québec. In 1811, he together with his brothers William and Robert took over the Hawkesbury sawmills established by David Pattie and Thomas Mears and developed an integrated company. George Hamilton ran the Hawkesbury Mills, William operated in Québec, and Robert managed marketing in Liverpool.

The sawmill business was an appropriate enterprise for a family whose coat of arms featured a saw blade slicing through an oak tree and the word ‘Through’— elements that were replicated in the seal and coat of arms of the Diocese of Ottawa in 1896. The sawmills and the fortunes of the Hamilton family went from strength to strength in the early nineteenth century, resulting in the construction of this large comfortable masonry structure with basement kitchen.

A family calamity occurred in the 1820s when George Hamilton was horrified to witness three children drown when the canoe in which they were travelling with their mother capsized in the Ottawa River en route to Montreal. Many years later, Charles, the youngest son, had a Montreal silversmith fashion a chalice in memory of another brother who survived  until 1864—a chalice that ultimately ended up at Saint Bartholomew’s Church in Ottawa.

The Hamiltons were a prominent Anglican family at Hawkesbury. If they did not put up most of the money to build Holy Trinity Church in that village in 1844, they certainly underwrote Thomas Fuller’s refashioning of that house of worship in 1859 into a structure more in accordance with High Victorian Ecclesiastical Gothic Revival ideals being promoted by the Cambridge Camden Society and the Tractarians at Oxford.

That venture in church rebuilding was of a piece with Charles Hamilton’s future. He decided upon a career in the church, and he went from strength to strength, first building Saint Matthew’s Church at Québec, then becoming elected Bishop of Niagara, then Bishop of Ottawa, and eventually Archbishop of Ottawa.

In the closing decades of Queen Victoria’s reign, it was a truth universally acknowledged that a bishop in possession of $10,000 a year would want to manifest his good taste by building churches of impeccable good taste. We should not be surprised if Charles Hamilton used some of his family largesse to get his first bishopric established at Hamilton, Ontario (and named Niagara, not Hamilton), as he provided funds to get an ornate bishop’s crozier created.

Awaiting the day Ottawa was made a diocese, Hamilton as Bishop of Niagara returned many times to open and consecrate churches. Like other wealthy men, Charles Hamilton seems to have subscribed to the philosophy, “Waste not, want not.” The chalice he had made while at Québec, he brought back to Ottawa. When elected Bishop here, he brought his crozier from Hamilton, which explains why an enameled image of Niagara Falls appears on Ottawa’s crozier.

A series of questions confronts me at the Cross. Why was the terrible suffering and death of Christ necessary? Could not God have chosen another way to redeem us? I have always had difficulty with the extreme language of some writers that seem to portray God as demanding a blood sacrifice in payment for the sins of the world, which seems to reduce the life of Christ to some legal/judicial payment of debts. This is not to deny the reality of original sin that has destroyed the relationship between God and His creation or the reality of suffering and death becoming an integral part of the human condition. But rather the difficulty with this language is that it leaves little room for the images of Christ as shepherd, as healer and teacher. The image of a loving God who calls us into relationship with Him, of a loving Father as portrayed in the parable of the Prodigal Son is more in keeping with my understanding of the God revealed to us in Jesus.

The Cross was the sign of the reality and power of sin and death in creation and that Jesus through His suffering and death destroyed the power of death and by His resurrection open a new and living relationship with our Father. The Cross is the ultimate sign of God’s love for you and me, that restores our relationship to the Father.

As St. Paul expresses in Romans 6:5-6: “For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. We know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be destroyed, and we might no longer be enslaved to sin.”

I found in a little book on the Orthodox faith the following quote which helped clarify my thoughts:

“St. Isaac the Syrian writes: “God the Lord surrendered His own Son to death on the Cross for the fervent love of creation. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son to death for our sake (cf. John 3:16). This was not, however, because He could not have redeemed us in another way, but so that His surpassing love, manifested hereby, might be a teacher unto us. And by the death of His only begotten Son, He made us near to Himself. Yea, if He had had anything more precious, He would have given it to us, so that by it our race might be his own.”

The Cross offers us a choice, to stay enslaved by sin, estranged from God or to chose to respond to the new life of the Resurrection and be restored to our true identities as people made in the image of God. The sacrifice of the Cross is God shattering the bonds of slavery and inviting us into His life. How awesome is this invitation, what love He has shown for us!

The question is are we ready to leave the shadows and move into the light of the new life of Christ? The shadows can be uncomfortable, but it is what is known. Responding to the call of Christ will move us out of ourselves and into a deeper relationship not only with God but with our neighbours and all of creation. Each one of us needs to look at the crucified one on the Cross and decide for ourselves. Will I reject His love shown at such a great cost?

Campbell is from the Bahamas, and he reminisced about the shock of arriving in Canada in the middle of winter when the snow was up to his knees.

Michael Perkin, stewardship co-ordinator for St. Mark’s, offered words of thanks on behalf of the parish. He praised Campbell’s ability to navigate his way in a new parish, in a new country, and just four months later, in a global pandemic.  “What a way to begin a ministry,” he said. “Fr. Julian and the dedicated team quickly initiated a YouTube ministry that took us through services and a celebration of virtual Holy Week and Easter. YouTube led to live streaming,” which Perkin noted continues and has brought viewers for services from the Bahamas, the United States, Great Britain and beyond.”

Among the highlights of Campbell’s time in the parish, Perkin mentioned renewals of pastoral visits and the pastoral care team, a focus on youth participation in services, outreach to students at Carleton University and lots of hard work to make the church’s 75th anniversary celebrations memorable.

Campbell played a key role in diocesan anti-racism efforts.  St. Mark’s has planned and hosted many impactful Black History Month events during Campbell’s tenure, and the parish was known for hosting excellent celebrations after those events enhanced by delicious food and sweets from the Caribbean, music and dancing.

The High Commissioner of the Bahamas to Canada, V. Alfred Grey, spoke at those events and attended the farewell service. He thanked Campbell for being a wise advisor and friend to him in Canada.

Campbell thanked the parish and said he felt “honored by the kindness you have shown … over the years, but also particularly on this Sunday.” He asked for their prayers as he embarked on this new journey and promised to continue to pray for St. Mark’s.

The mini-conference was organized by both lay and ordained members of the Anglican faith community.  It was inspired by a similar four-day retreat “You Are Leaven: Fermenting Cultures of Spiritual Formation,” which was supported by the national church and brought Anglicans from across Canada together in Mississauga, Ont. last April.  The one-day “You are Leaven Ottawa” mini-conference featured a wide variety of workshops on three themes — Everyday Spirituality, Practices of Prayer and the Spirituality of Church Operations.

Archdeacon Rhonda Waters said the mini-conference provided an opportunity for people to discover innovative practices to take back to their parishes. She mentioned that the workshop leaders and facilitators from both the clergy and the laity were volunteers who wished to share practices they use to enable spiritual development.

The Rev. Dr. Jonathan Martin, another member of the organizing committee, explained the conference was intended to examine ways that church communities can encourage spiritual development through everyday activities. “God is already present,” he said.

As people arrived at St. Clare’s, they enjoyed a time for light refreshments and socializing before the Rev. Colin McFarland from St. Margaret’s, Vanier in Ottawa called everyone into the opening worship by playing the “Washerwoman of Ireland” on his fiddle.

The morning session on Everyday Spirituality was divided into workshops for smaller groups:

• Pretzels with Auntie Patti – Pattie Robillard shared her family’s Lenten tradition of making pretzels, an ancient symbol representing two arms crossed in prayer
• 10,000 steps for Jesus – Ron Hubbard shared his practice of spiritual walking
• Spiritual Formation through Role Playing Games — the Rev. Geoff Chapman guided participants through a session of Dungeons & Dragons, exploring themes of identity, morality, choices and the joy of imaginative play
• Doodling — the Rev. Fresia Saborio and the Rev. Dr. Neil Mancour of the Diocese of Montreal, explored ways of using paint, crayons and collage, doodling and drawing as a medium for expressions of soul and prayer
• The Creative Connection: Art and Spirituality — Karen Daley’s group explored arts and crafts as an expression of prayer, study of scripture, and focused thought

*Editor’s update: In case you missed this event, Julian of Norwich is hosting a mini mini-conference, Spiritual Dimensions, with some similar sessions on April 5. 

Heather Mallett, a parishioner at St. Thomas the Apostle in Ottawa, facilitates creativity workshops herself and told Crosstalk she was especially interested in learning “different ways to meld creativity and spirituality.”

The Rev. Fresia Saborio said people are able to connect with the Divine and the Sacred in more ways than can be imagined, with shapes, colours and forms used to make the connection.

The design of St. Clare’s lends itself to events such as this with the various areas of the church and technical equipment used for different groups and activities. Registration, coffee breaks and lunch as well as workshops were held in the hall, with other workshops using smaller spaces of meeting rooms, the Memorial Chapel, Nave, and the kitchen.

The other morning session Practices of Prayer was divided into four workshops.

• Introduction to Contemplative Prayer Practices – The Rev. Canon Kevin Flynn offered a brief overview of the variety of contemplative practices with a focus on yoga.
• Spiritual Autobiography – The Rev. Mark Lewis and the Rev. Pat Martin offered participants a tool to help consider the critical moments in their lives and faith journeys
• Gospel-Based Discipleship – The Rev. Ben Stuchbery shared a highly adaptable prayer practice from the Indigenous church, which anchors people’s common life in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus through a shared engagement with a passage from the gospels.
• Praying with Music – Joshua Zentner-Barrett led an exploration of the spirituality of music in worship, engaging with psalms, short songs, instruments, and more.

After the whole group gathered together for lunch and some social time, they again broke into smaller groups for the Spirituality of Church Operations workshops:

• Shaped by the Altar Guild – Meghan Kitt led a group exploring expressions of beauty, hospitality, inclusion, and devotion in the altar guild and its work.
• Sacred Hospitality – The Rev. Dr. Jon Martin introduced the founding principles of sacred hospitality and the challenge to be open to the transformation that comes from genuine engagement and connection to the world around us.
• Change as Spiritual Formation – Archdeacon Rhonda Waters led a group exploring ways to respond to change in spiritually life-giving ways for both individuals and parishes.
• Spiritual Formation for Pastoral Caregivers — The Rev. Canon Hilary Murray led a group exploring the Divine call and how it is actualized through pastoral care and ways that it can deepen spiritual formation and one’s relationship with God.

The day ended with everyone coming together for a closing worship service with Joshua Zentner-Barrett leading them in music and even a small foray into dance.

Dr. Sarah Johnson, director of Anglican Studies at St. Paul University, reflected on the day’s aims and activities in a homily. Reminding those gathered that the church is not its buildings, it is made of people listening to and filled with the Holy Spirit. “Our aim today was not to become educated in strategies and techniques. Our aim was to share with one another how the Spirit is forming us through scripture and prayer and song, through … writing and drawing, through role playing and pretzel making and more. Our aim was to receive from one another practices that we can bring back to our own communities that nurture openness to the work of the Spirit within us, among us and beyond us.”

Participation will be limited to 30 teams and registration is on a first-come-first-served basis. Teams will be asked to articulate a campaign goal and project focus at the point of registration. Most costs associated with youth projects and programs, including staffing, are eligible.

SYTK is an annual fundraising appeal sponsored by AFC. Launched in 2021 to encourage church-led pandemic recovery programs and initiatives, the SYTK movement has now provided $755,000 in funding to more than 150 beneficiaries and fundraising partners for youth-focused ministry and outreach across the Anglican Church of Canada.

“The top three ministry impact zones have been faith formation, arts and education, and outdoor recreation,” says AFC executive director Dr. Scott Brubacher. “It’s wonderful to see the year-over-year impact as so many churches and dioceses are using SYTK to invest in youth retreats, Vacation Bible Schools, and part-time staffing to revitalize children and youth ministry programs.” Other impact zones include food security and poverty reduction, reconciliation, and health and well-being.

At the close of the 2024 campaign AFC surveyed past SYTK participants. “Seventy-five percent of respondents told us they use SYTK to create a sustainable revenue stream for an ongoing ministry and that it’s an important source of funding for them,” says Brubacher. “We also heard how influential the AFC Angel Donor matching gift program has been to local campaigns. We are all very grateful to the lead donors who, over the past four years, have championed this cause with donations totaling more than $100,000.”

At the close of the 2025 campaign, teams will have secured a grant of 80 percent of the funds raised, including any matching gifts or leadership giving boosts provided by AFC. Campaign funds will be disbursed in August. The 20 percent share that is retained by AFC will build up the Kids Helping Kids Fund to enable even more youth-focused grants across Canada.

The new arrivals generally fall into two groups. Many are Internationally Educated Nurses (IENs) who have been recruited for two-year contracts in local long-term care homes. These nurses are well educated, many with Bachelor of Science in Nursing degrees, and bring valuable experience in areas such as labour and delivery, intensive care, emergency room and cardiac catheterization labs. Here in Perth, they’re working as personal support workers while they seek to obtain their Ontario Nursing Registration qualifications.

Almost all are from India, the Philippines and Nigeria and are here alone, although a very small number have able to send for their spouses and children. According to current regulations, it may well be over a year before they can even apply be joined by their families. All of them have young children and understandably are heartbroken by this news.

Most of the other newcomers are refugee claimants, primarily from Ghana. Having initially arrived in Montreal, they quickly learned that without speaking French, there were no employment opportunities for them there while their refugee applications were being reviewed. Somehow word came to them that Perth is a small, quiet welcoming community where they could find work. Over last summer, it is estimated that about 40 Ghanains arrived in Perth. As well as supporting themselves here in Canada, the majority of these newcomers are also trying to send money home to their families in Ghana. Unfortunately, they were advised abroad to come to Canada alone to apply as refugees and that they’d be able to send for their families once the process was started. Sadly, that’s not the case, and they now anticipate being here without their spouses possibly for several years while the refugee application process grinds on.

When I became aware of this situation shortly after my diaconal ordination in May, I questioned what could be done to help all these new folks adjust to life in Canada. My research led to Linda Alexander, the recruitment and settlement officer for Lanark and Renfrew counties. We put our heads together and quickly put out a call to church and community members, local service providers and the newcomers themselves with a goal of creating a coordinated response to support and assist these newest members of our community. Out of this meeting, a grassroots organization called Open Arms Perth was formed!

One of the first pressing needs identified was that fall would soon be turning into winter, and most of the newcomers, of course, had never experienced snow. An information session on winter preparedness was created and very well attended.

Calls were put out for donations of gently used coats, hats and mitts, which then enabled Open Arms Perth to host winter clothing distributions — events, which parishioners from St. James helped with greatly. Rather than ask for donations of used boots, an invitation was sent to local churches for donations of money for the purchase of vouchers from Marks’ Work Wearhouse to help with buying new winter boots. St. James was the first church to answer that call, which consequently allowed every newcomer in need to buy new boots.

Other calls were well responded to for donations of furniture, household items and bedding. Again, parishioners at St. James were particularly generous in responding, donating bedding which also included many new, handmade quilts. As one of our donors said: ”These people deserve to receive new things too!”

In December, space at St. James was made available for the nurses to hold a special celebration. These are very hardworking people, and it meant so much for them to have a space to relax together and celebrate the Christmas season with their own foods and music.

The past months have been a time of real blessing for all involved in Open Arms — for newcomers, volunteers and donors alike. Best of all, and most touching to experience, are the new personal relationships being formed as we warmly welcome our brothers and sisters in Christ to Canada. For many their journeys have been really difficult, and we’ve been grateful to be able to help them along in some small way.

What is contextual mission? The context for Anglican churches in the Diocese of Ottawa and in Canada has changed dramatically in recent decades. No longer predominantly Christian, Canadian society is now pluralistic, multicultural, multifaith, and largely secular, so contextual mission is about sharing the love of God in ways that help the church connect with and serve people in the wider community in this context.

Introducing two people presenting examples of their parishes’ forays into contextual mission at Synod in November, the Rev. Thomas Brauer reminded everyone that contextual mission is not about getting more people to attend church or something a parish imposes on the community. It must be “a ministry of the resurrection, a ministry of Jesus, where we enter into the community as we find it and hear the need that is there and respond out of compassion, grace and love.”

Epiphany’s wish list

Kitty Galt, the Rector’s Warden at Epiphany church in Ottawa, described a project that was inspired by a discussion following a Time of Prayer Bible study of a passage from the Book of Acts that described how a group of people in the early church did not claim private ownership of any possessions, but everything they owned was held in common. “Those gathered talked about what we felt God was calling us to as a community. We heard that there were several people within our parish and just outside its walls who had significant unmet needs. And we reflected that even though there were many within our parish who had resources to meet those needs, we couldn’t connect the two because it’s often difficult for people to speak up about their needs. We asked ourselves, how we could live out this calling to hold everything in common,” Galt explained.

They wondered if they could create a wish list, similar to that used by Cornerstone Housing for Women with requests for specific items the women need. Talking it through, they came up with a plan for how Epiphany’s wish list could work. “If someone had a need, such as money for groceries, a mattress, funds to register a child in a soccer club, they would send an email to an anonymous person called the wishlist coordinator. Wishes could be published each week in the bulletin and the weekly parish email. If someone could fulfill a wish, they would also contact the coordinator who would facilitate the transfer. The names of wishers and wish fulfillers would remain confidential as much as possible.”

Galt reported that from the time they began the project in May until Synod in early November, 10 wishes had been fulfilled, including a registration fee for a training course to become a new security guard for a new Canadian, a new tricycle for a grandchild, a ride to a medical appointment. “We are assessing the project to see whether it is meeting its original goal, and if not, we will adjust accordingly. We hope to be fulfilling your wishes for months to come,” she said.

Crosstalk contacted the Rev. Simone Hurkmans at Epiphany for an update since Synod and indeed more wishes had indeed been fulfilled, including:

• A winter coat for a new mother for her first Canadian winter
• Used cellphone for preteen who cares for her siblings to contact her mom while she’s on shift work
• Ladies’ tap shoes
• Used laptop for preteen’s homework needs
• Desktop monitor for new Canadian taking online classes

South Carleton Jazz Vespers

The second example of contextual mission in action came from the Parish of South Carleton. Churchwarden Dorothy Svendsen told the story of how the Rev. Allan Budzin was inspired by the long-standing jazz vespers service at All Saints Westboro in Ottawa and wondered if similar services could also attract a new worshipping community in a predominantly rural environment. “He took the risk and initiated jazz vespers, first at Holy Trinity North Gore, and then found its happy home at St. Paul’s, Osgoode. Who knew that it was the motherload of jazz aficionados in Ottawa South,” she said.

Jazz vespers is an hour of music, prayer, poetry, and reflection. The services have been held once a month (except for July and August) at 4 pm on Sundays since December 2023. The Mark Ferguson Quartet provides the music. “We have done jazz tributes to Leonard Cohen, Gordon Lightfoot, The Beatles, Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel, Duke Ellington, and for the 100th anniversary of our church, we did the jazz music of the 1920s,” Svendsen reported. “Reverend Al provides the prayers, the poetry, and the reflections. It is a wonderful and different way to worship. We have attracted a core following and draw people from about six surrounding communities. On average, 60% of the congregation are new attendees and not regular members of our parish. Our numbers have steadily grown over the year, and we average about 55 congregants, sometimes more, sometimes less, often depending on the weather. We request a free will offering to help pay for the musicians, and we’re about breaking even.”

The reviews have been fantastic, said Svendsen. “One woman came up to me after her first visit, and she said, ‘I just loved everything about this. I love the music, I love the storytelling,’ and she said, ‘I love the reflection, and I just love your minister. I’ll definitely be back.’ I’ve even had people stop me on the street telling me how much they enjoyed it and asking when is the next one. It’s a joyous way to worship through music. [In October], Reverend Al has introduced Sunday Vespers for harp and flute at St. John’s Richmond, and 50 people attended the service. The seeds for another new worshipping community…”

The Ontario government has been sending cheques for $200 to eligible taxpayers to help defray rising housing and living costs. This follows the government’s abolition of the $121 annual fee for renewing licence plates.

The Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) analyzed data from 47 municipalities and reported that the cost of cancelling the licence fee, $1.1 billion annually, happened to coincide with its estimated one-time cost (above current levels) of eliminating chronic homelessness. Chronic homelessness basically refers to being homeless for more than six months or experiencing a recurrence within three years.

The AMO findings gave rise to questions such as, would you be willing to forego the $121 (and/or the $200 cheque) to contribute to housing justice in Ontario?

The emergency shelter for Cornerstone, an Anglican Community Ministry, has been turning away 100 women every month because its 165-bed shelter is constantly full. Crosstalk reported last month that the shelter struggles against rising costs to meet the growing demand for its services.

In Perth, the Rev. Canon Ken Davis is appealing to residents who can afford it, to donate their $200 cheque to Community Housing Initiative Perth (CHIP).“It’s all about fundraising now,” he says, referring to CHIP’s 15-unit project in downtown Perth. More than 300 residents of the town are in need of affordable housing.  St. James the Apostle, Perth plays a leadership role in the community project.

The AMO report,  Municipalities Under Pressure: The Human and Financial Cost of Ontario’s Homelessness Crisis, found that the number of people experiencing “known” homelessness — those known to the homeless-serving system and largely including those in shelters, hotels, or in locations such as in tents or outdoor spaces — has gone up by 25 per cent since 2022.

The report found that refugees and asylum seekers who historically have not remained in shelters for prolonged periods are now increasingly staying in the system long enough to meet the threshold for chronic homelessness. Cornerstone has seen an increase of 340 per cent in one year in the number of newcomers to Canada coming to the shelter.
