In the name of the one God of all creation, the violence must stop, regardless of where it comes from and to whom it is directed. God has gifted us with everything we need to live in peace. What is happening in Israel and Palestine is not a religious fight, it is a political fight. True religion is love, true religion is peace, true religion is justice.

– Bishop Anna Greenwood-Lee

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.
