'The Deans' Conference: The North American Deans' Conference is taking place this year in Jerusalem - a far away part of North America!!! The Dean and Anne are very much looking forward to this year's conference and appreciate the support of the Cathedral to enable them to attend. It will be Anne's first trip to Israel/Palestine! Since the location is such a great distance away, the conference is somewhat longer this year, so they will be gone almost two weeks, beginning on April 10. The deepening relationship between the Anglican Church of Canada with the Anglican Diocese of Jerusalem and the Dean's work with local Anglican and Lutherans in the Holy Land make this a significant event indeed. Please keep them and all those attending the conference in your prayers! HELP NEEDED! Brass and wood polishers to meet on Maundy Thursday (April 2) at 9am in the Cathedral.
