The official publication of the Anglican diocese of Islands and Inlets, Faith Tides is a space where people of faith and doubt can share their stories, challenge their perceptions, and grow together.

We acknowledge that for thousands of years the Coast Salish, Nuu-chah-nulth, and Kwakwaka’wakw peoples have walked gently on the unceded territories where we now live, work, worship, and play. We seek a new relationship with the First Peoples here, one based in honour and respect.
