Anglican bishop gets out and learns in Huron
By David Blaney
Citizen staff
The Rt. Revd. Bruce Howe,
Anglican bishop of Huron has been
spending some time getting to know
his congregation in north Huron
County. On Monday he visited
Goderich, then celebrated a service
at Huronlea in Brussels before
visiting Blyth.
A priest for 33 years Bishop Howe
was consecrated as the 11th Bishop
of the Diocese of Huron in October
2000. His charge ranges from
Windsor in the south to Tobermorey
in the north and goes from Lake
Huron to Kitchener-Waterloo.
He describes his trip as "getting
out and learning." He said that part
of a bishop's role is to provide
"oversight" and "be out and
accessible." Bishop Howe felt he
needed to get out to know his
parishioners and for them to have a
chance to know him.
During a conversation Bishop
Howe touched on the Anglican
Church's problems with lawsuits
stemming from some of their former
residential schools. He said the
schools were a well meant attempt
to provide an education for First
Nations peoples in co-operation with
the federal government.
He pointed out it was done in a

cases where those attracted to teach
in the schools were guilty of child
abuse. In many cases he felt the
remoteness of the locations and the
residential nature of the facilities
made supervision very difficult.
On a happier note he talked about
the agreement on Full Communion
which had been reached in July with
the Evangelical Lutheran Church in
Canada. The agreement will allow
priests from either denomination to
serve with the other if local
congregations express a desire to
have it happen. He noted it has also
served to promote co-operation in
many informal ways which he feels
may prove to be more important.
Bishop Howe said the Anglican
Church already extends the right of
communion to any baptized
Christian. He suggested the
established churches had converged
in many ways since the 1950s. "If
you went into a Lutheran Church in
Kitchener-Waterloo on a Sunday,
then down the road to an Anglican
service you would see no big
differences."
He commented that the established
churches grew accustomed to the
people coming to them and perhaps
lost the drive to go out to the people.
"Our pattern has been more reactive
than pro-active. We got complacent
and must learn to reach out."
He says this is one of the things he
wants to work towards as the bishop
of Huron. It is an attitude he once
practised to the extent of spending
10 days as a junior deckhand on a
fishing boat out of Lunenburg, Nova
Scotia when he had a parish in that
community.
"I hope to help call people to the
faith community," he said, .,and
strengthen that community to

time when "we wanted everyone to
be like us - European and middle
class in outlook. We made a mistake
taking away native culture," he said.
"The Indian population was
"deprived of their own culture and
not given another."
He acknowledged that there were
