Soft-spoken, hard-praying Algoma Archbishop Anne Germond will serve a 41-week stint as interim leader of Canada’s Anglican Church
Germond is Anglican Archbishop of Algoma, Archbishop of Moosonee and Metropolitan of the Ecclesiastical Province of Ontario.
"Until a new primate is elected by General Synod in 2025, Archbishop Anne Germond, who is Metropolitan of the Ecclesiastical Province of Ontario and the senior provincial metropolitan by virtue of having the longest current term of office, will serve as acting primate."And Germond is hoping that will continue until she starts her new gig in September.
"I will do absolutely everything I can to carry out the duties as I am able, realizing that if I'm the acting primate, I will continue to also be the Bishop of Algoma and the Metropolitan for the Ecclesiastical Province of Ontario. "Personal visits are a hallmark of the primatial ministry. The primate travels widely to maintain pastoral and spiritual relationships throughout the church. Across Canada, he or she shares in parish and diocesan celebrations, meets with large and small groups of people, leads parish and diocesan retreats or conferences, and preaches in different settings.
She grew up in South Africa, where she taught primary school and religious studies before moving to Canada in 1986 with her husband Colin when the cancer centre in Sudbury was recruiting oncologists. "She was nominated from the floor on the sixth ballot of the 2016 Algoma synod and elected bishop. She was elected to become metropolitan of Ontario just two years later."
