Introduction
The Primate’s World Relief and Development Fund is a
response by Canadian Anglicans to the Gospel call to bear witness to God’s healing
love in a broken world.
Inspired by the vision of a spirit filled
community of hope, PWRDF walks together with partners in Canada and overseas to share in
the creation of a more just and peaceful world.
In joy and struggle, the Primate’s Fund
engages in development work, responds to emergencies, works to protect refugees and
educates and advocates for change.
"Give Us A Thirst For Justice"
This phrase summed up the PWRDF Strategic Plan for 1996 to 1998.
The plan identified five priority goals:
- deepen theological reflection
- strengthen partnerships with dioceses and parishes
- improve advocacy work on justice issues
- support community based development work
- undertake organizational development.
The PWRDF responded to emergency and refugee situations in
thirty four countries and supported development work in twenty eight countries.
