Beginning in the new year, National Indigenous Anglican Bishop Mark MacDonald will also be the new area bishop for the Northern Manitoba region of the diocese of Keewatin.

David Ashdown, Archbishop of the Diocese of Keewatin and Metropolitan of the ecclesiastical Province of Rupert’s Land, made the announcement on Dec. 17 and requested prayers for Bishop Mark, the clergy and people of the northern Manitoba region “as together we begin this new adventure in witness and ministry.”
