Bishop Logan McMenamie is inviting clergy and lay members of the diocese, along with other faith leaders in the region, to join him in a walk of solidarity. The walk will begin on the steps of Christ Church Cathedral and will end at the legislature where land protectors and their supports are gathered.
Background
In an open letter to the clergy of the diocese Bishop Logan McMenamie is calling on Anglicans of the diocese of islands and inlets to walk in solidariity with Wet'suwet'en hereditary chiefs and the land defenders who are trying to protect their traditional unceded territory.
The hereditary chiefs and their supporters have remained resolute in their opposition to the BC Supreme Court injunction asserting Wet'suvvet'en law and are demanding that the province and federal government come to the table to sort out their rights and title to the territory. They have further called on settler allies to join them in their defense as an act of solidarity and witness.
