Bishop’s Message:

A Family Gathered!

On Friday February 12, at 11 am the Central Interior family is invited to gather at St Paul’s Cathedral for a memorial service to givethanks to God for the life and ministry of Bishop Jim Cruickshank. Archbishop Fred Hiltz, Archbishop John Privett and others fromoutside of the Central Interior will be joining us. This date was selected as it is the closest day to the anniversary date of his consecrationBishop of Cariboo on February 9, 1992 and that seemed convenient for the community. A reception will follow in the Cathedral Hall.As we gather as the Cariboo family of Bishop Jim, I am inviting the clergy (colour white) and LMWS to robe. Pastoral Elders and theCanons of Cariboo and the Central Interior are invited to join the procession. Visiting clergy and ecumenical partners are also invited torobe. Please confirm your attendance with the APCI office by February 5, 2016 - apci@shaw.ca.

In honour of Bishop Jim’s legacy as Bishop of Cariboo and his ministry throughout the church, a Legacy Fund in memory of Bishop Ji

Cruickshank, has been set up in the APCI Investment Fund. Donations can be made to the APCI office at 360 Nicola St, Kamloops, BCV2C clearly marked in Memory of Bishop Jim.

As families do at the time of the death of one of its beloved members, we will gather to story tell and to share those stories with oneanother. We are inviting you to write your story of Bishop Jim. These stories will be published in a booklet and shared with Bishop Jim

family and the wider church family. We would like to publish some of these stories in the next LINK (deadline January 28). Please submyour stories to apcibishop@shaw.ca  by January 28 for inclusion in the LINK and the booklet for the service on February 12.

Bishop Jim’s Memorial Fund:

At the recent meeting of the Administration Committee, the Investment Committee was directed to set up a Legacy Fund in the memory

of Bishop Jim Cruickshank . Donations can be made to the APCI office at 360 Nicola St, Kamloops, BC clearly marked in Memory ofBishop Jim.

It was decided that 90 per cent of the annual income and realized capital gains would be used to support the work of the Bishop in theCentral Interior, through the Bishop’s Discretionary Fund or approved projects by the Administration Committee.In consultant with Bishop Jim’s family it was decided that the focus of these funds will be used to support the work of Indig enous peoplefor healing and reconciliation (the ongoing work of Truth and Reconciliation), LGBT community in the Central Interior, to support youthand youth events, for people to attend Sorrento Centre, clergy needs at times of illness or family struggles and education for the laity andtheology students. Since many of the disbursements from the Bishop Discretionary Fund are done discreetly some discretion needs to begiven to the Bishop. Requests for funding should be made to the Bishop and those requests which needs Administration Committee suppwill be placed before them by the Bishop.

Tax receipts will be issued for all donations.
