Season of Spiritual Renewal

Home / Diocesan Life / Season of Spiritual Renewal

During the Cast the Net listening and visioning process, we heard that, as a Diocese, we’re hungry to know and love God more deeply.

To that end, Bishop Andrew called us to a two-year Season of Spiritual Renewal, lasting until Epiphany 2026. This is Call to Action #1 emerging from Cast the Net.

“My hope is that this will lead us to a deep and profound joy in the gospel of Jesus Christ and a sense of communities large and small feeling a part of a rekindling of the Anglican Church in the Diocese of Toronto.” -Bishop Andrew Asbil

Collect for the Season of Spiritual Renewal

Holy and life giving God; through the breath and witness given to the prophets, dry bones were given new life. Through the mission of your Son, that same breath gave courage and conviction to the disciples to go out and preach your Gospel. Continue to share with us that breath of the Holy Spirit, revive our Diocese, and fill us with hope. Grant us vision and courage that our words and actions may be filled with your life and love; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
