On Nov. 23, 2008, the Amazing Grace Project took off: over 600 Canadian Anglican parishes lifted their voices to sing “Amazing Grace,” then videos of their performances were compiled into a 10-minute documentary, posted online. The project also raised over $80,000 for the Council of the North, the group of ten financially supported dioceses in Canada’s north. The project was a resounding success.
As this video explains, the Communications and Information Resources Department spearheaded this project, which “proclaims the Good News of the Kingdom” in many ways. Canadian Anglicans sang about their amazing salvation, and by doing so, showed the world their love of and commitment to their faith.
