The Provincial Council of the
Ecclesiastical Province of BC and Yukon met October 21-23, 2011 at St. Catherine’s Capilano in North Vancouver.
The Metropolitan of the
Province, the Most Reverend John Privett chaired the meeting.
15 Officers of Synod and members of the Executive Council gathered at St. Catherine’s to discuss a busy agenda which included a report from the Diocese of New Westminster’s Youth Ministry Coordinator, Phil Colvin on the BCYAYM, the province’s youth ministry organization, and a Vancouver School of Theology report from
the Rev. Dr. Canon Harold Munn, currently at VST as Anglican Mentor in Residence.
The Provincial Council enjoyed the warm hospitality extended to them by Incumbent, Reverend Christine Rowe and the St. Catherine’s community.
Archbishop John was able to return the favour, preaching at both morning services celebrated at St. Catherine’s, October 23rd.
