[The Living Church] 23 June 2007--Clergy and lay deputies to the triennial General Synod of the Anglican Church of Canada elected the Rt. Rev. Fred Hiltz, Bishop of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, Friday to be the next primate.

In a statement about primacy published along with his biographical profile, Bishop Hiltz stated the job of Canadian primate “involves what someone once described as ‘pushing the boat out from the shore,’ launching out into the deep. It’s about raising sights, broadening horizons. It’s about ‘drawing the circle wide, drawing it wider still.’ It’s about the work of respecting the dignity of every human being, building a just society, and announcing the reign of God.”

Hmmm.
