Launched in August 2019, Epiphanies is a digital magazine produced by the Anglican Journal team, providing in-depth stories and diverse perspectives on complex subjects.

Issue 1 (August 2019) - Crisis in Creation: in-depth reporting on the theology of bees, church greening, climate change in the North and food security in Newfoundland and Labrador; reflections by Primate Linda Nicholls, National Indigenous Anglican Archbishop Mark MacDonald, and the Rev. Vivian Seegers.

Issue 2 (December 2019) - For Where Your Treasure Is:  in-depth reporting on the ministry of non-stipendiary clergy in Indigenous communities; how the Anglican Church of Canada grapples with responsible investing; and a look at how the Sisters of Saint John the Divine live out their vow of poverty; reflections on the dangers of the theology of abundance by the Rev. Maggie Helwig; a guide for talking about giving by Susan Graham Walker; a Q&A with drop-in ministry director Rachel Robinson; and views on debt across faith lines. Primate Linda Nicholls shares her views on the necessity of talking about finances, and National Indigenous Anglican Archbishop Mark MacDonald issues a spiritual challenge: to “see the poor in our day.”

Issue 3 (June 2019) - Differences: detailed examination on what it means for the church to take sides in situations of conflict or injustice, and the degree to which the Anglican Church of Canada might be considered an “ethnic” church given its increasingly diverse and multicultural nature; a new group, Black Anglicans of Canada, which seeks to give life to the church’s racial justice charter, and how accessibility in the church speaks to the very heart of Christian theology; an interview with the Rev. Leigh Kern, a prison chaplain who discusses the human suffering unfolding within Canadian prisons during COVID-19; a discussion with Mary Jo Leddy, director of Romero House in Toronto, who speaks on refugees and “otherness”; reflections from the Rev. Edmund Laldin on immigrants and new Canadians; and from Lyds Keesmaat-Walsh, a young queer and trans Anglican who speaks about their own experience in the church.
