A Special Christmas message from the TAP team

IT WAS A JOY to bring you independent news, features and commentary over the past year. We have been serving Canadian Anglicans since 2004 – and, uniquely, our constituency includes both the Anglican Church of Canada and the Anglican Network in Canada

At the Eaton Centre, December 2023

A proud tree stands storey upon shopping-

mall storey tall, set ablaze by red lights.

Its image captured by pilgrims flocking

in hope to make their days merry and bright.

Sermon for the First Sunday in Advent

And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep.”   (Romans 13:11)

Mountains and Churches

In his hands are the caverns of the earth and the heights of the hills are his also. (Psalm 95:4)

The Holdovers

CHRISTMAS FILMS often come all sugar-coated and candy-cane sweet. But not The Holdovers. Think, instead, bleak midwinter and bittersweet. Instead of Home Alone it is rather a school-alone movie as a woeful handful of students at a boys’ private prep school in New England are left behind as their classmates and faculty cheerfully depart for the Christmas holidays. Only one teacher, a grumpy Classics instructor (Paul Giametti) is left behind to supervise them

On Foot to Canterbury: A Son’s Pilgrimage

I MUST ADMIT from the onset that I am “totally hard-wired” for this book. Ken Haigh’s On Foot to Canterbury: A Son’s Pilgrimage covers so many areas of personal interest – hiking, English history, Anglican history, nature – that it’s hard for me not to become absorbed with his journey

Winter Reads

Curl up with a mug of cider or hot chocolate and enjoy some of these new titles, which our West Coast reviewers recommend.

Little Prayers for Ordinary Days

FOR their spiritual formation children need Bible story books but they also need prayer books suited to their young age. There are certainly some classics out there and a new one has just joined their ranks

The Watchmaker’s Daughter: The True Story of World War II Heroine Corrie ten Boom

I MUST CONFESS that I had not heard the term “historical espionage thriller” before, but now that I have read The Watchmaker’s Daughter, it applies perfectly. Larry Loftis’ book is a page-turner – you can’t put it down but it is also historically accurate. This is not historical fiction but the true story of a remarkable Christian woman, Corrie ten Boom.

Seven for Summer

It’s sandal weather and our West Coast reviewers, who can dip their toes in the Pacific, have some summer reads for us.
