As you are able, please join Bishop Anna and others from across the diocese on Wednesday, Feb. 5, 2025 at 6 p.m. for an evening of relationship building. The evening will also be an opportunity for Bishop Anna to speak about what she sees in her travels across the diocese, particularly in our vibrant churches in the North Island: Port Hardy, Port McNeil and ‘Yalis (Alert Bay). All funds raised from the evening will be directed to ministry in the north of our diocese.
The Bishop’s Dinner will be held in the Terrace Ballroom at the Inn at Laurel Point, Victoria. Tickets are $200 per individual or $1500 for a table of 8. Tax receipts will be issued for $100 per ticket and for $700 for a table. Menu options for the night include braised beef short ribs and whipped potatoes, roasted chicken breast with roasted fingerlings, and steelhead trout and spiced cous cous, as well as a vegetarian option.
At this dinner, Bishop Anna will take some time to reflect on what she sees when she looks out at our diocese as a whole, faithfully serving God on these islands and inlets. In particular, she’ll share some stories about our churches in the north of the island, which have a particular charisma for outreach and reconciliation. It will be an evening to celebrate the beauty of small churches focused on community connection and service, and that are incarnating a post-colonial church in a secular age.
A number of tickets and tables have already been sold so if you’d like to join us, please buy your tickets soon. If you need to stay over in Victoria to attend the dinner, the Laurel Point also offers a favourable room rate in February. Call the front desk and ask for the Anglican Diocese corporate rate.
