Salal + Cedar is rooted in place, tradition and history:

• Seeking transformative encounters with the species and geography of the Fraser River to Salish Sea basin and the wider Cascadia bioregion
• Exploring wilderness, sustainability, and justice themes in Christian scriptures and Anglican social teaching through study and worship
• Learning about our roots and roles individuals and as a church, in the multi-racial, labour and Indigenous-Settler history of lower-mainland British Columbia

• Have a heart for creation
• Feel most connected to God in ocean, forest, river and field
• Are deeply concerned about global climate change
• Want to bring their faith to work for ecological justice
• Are environmental activists but keep their faith quiet
• Believe racial justice, economic justice and environmental justice are connected

Watershed Discipleship

Ecumenically we identify with the Watershed Discipleship Movement: communities that are asking, “what does it mean to be a follower of the Jesus Way here, among the land, water, creatures and people of a particular place?” Watershed Discipleship refers both to watersheds as natural geographic divisions and to the fact that we are at a watershed moment in terms of climate crisis.

Fifth Mark of Mission

Rooted in the Anglican incarnational theology, we are part of a growing commitment to the Fifth Mark of Mission “to strive to safeguard the integrity of creation and sustain and renew the life of the earth.”
