ABOUT AFP CANADA-ORGANIZATIONThe work of the AFP (Canada) is carried out by an Executive Committee, a National Director, Diocesan and Parish Representatives. At the present time, we have a National Director who is also a member of the Executive Committee, the Rt. Rev. Gary Woolsey of Calgary. The Diocesan Representatives are appointed by the Diocesan Bishop in consultation with the National Director and they may be clergy or laity. The National Director is the main ambassador of AFP (Canada), travelling across Canada meeting with diocesan bishops and representatives and other clergy and laity. They give workshops and talks encouraging the practice of prayer. The Diocesan Representatives do similar work on a smaller scale within their own dioceses. The Diocesan Representatives may also ask parish rectors to appoint parish prayer representatives. The Executive Committee supports the work of the National Directors and Diocesan Representatives by looking after the finances and resources of the organization, developing new resources and encouraging and supporting regional and national conferences on prayer. At the present time, Mr. Paul Dumbrille chairs the committee. One becomes a member of the committee by invitation. AFP (Canada) is part of the International AFP and liaison is maintained through the International Executive Committee. The National Director, the chair of the Canadian committee and one other delegate attend the meetings of the International Committee, which are held once a year. AFP (CANADA) |
