A wonderful thing happened to me this week, in a moment, in an instant. I was at a breakfast meeting. It was a business meeting, but not of the church kind. We received reports, asked questions, and made decisions. We heard announcements, and marked our calendars with coming events. We enjoyed each others' company. With the agenda completed the meeting was adjourned, and we began to scatter with calls of “see you next time,” and, “have a good day.” It was then it happened.

Between the melodies, speakers shared stories, and poems written by former soldiers; includ
A journey through the heritage of the Anglican Church Women A Brief History of the ACW In 1885, Canada’s population was as small as 4.5 million people, Sir John A. MacDonald was serving his second term as prime minister, and the ceremonial final spike was driven into the Canadian Pacific Railway. At this time, the suffrage movement was still young but was experiencing small amounts of varying success in each of Canada’s then eight provinces and territory.
