Faith Tides is open to submissions from all, whether you are affiliated with the Anglican Church of Canada or not. However, we seek submissions that are relevant to those worshipping in the Anglican Diocese of Islands and Inlets.

We are open to submissions in the following categories:

Please note – we are not currently accepting submissions of poetry, creative essays or fiction.

Diocesan news

We publish news articles about events, projects and significant developments happening in the wider diocese. Articles should be between 400-600 words and submitted as a Word document (.doc or .docx) to [email protected]. Please also submit good quality images where applicable, preferably taken on a camera (rather than a phone camera) and submitted as a jpeg.

Parish news

We publish news articles about events, projects and significant developments happening within parishes, where they are of interest or could provide inspiration to members of the wider diocese. Articles should be between 400-600 words and submitted as a Word document (.doc or .docx) to [email protected]. Please also submit good quality images where applicable, preferably taken on a camera (rather than a phone camera) and submitted as a jpeg.

Features and opinion pieces

We publish longer feature articles (between 600-1000 words) that explore a theme or topic relevant to the Anglican church on Vancouver Island, or that offer more personal insights than a news article allows. We are also interest in opinion pieces that offer a perspective on pressing issues or events of the day. Articles should be submitted as a Word document (.doc or .docx) to [email protected]. Please also submit good quality images where applicable, preferably taken on a camera (rather than a phone camera) and submitted as a jpeg.

All articles will be edited by the editor and proofread for grammar and spelling errors prior to publication. If you have any questions, please email the editor at: [email protected].
