AED Events
AED's events are designed to provide tools and support for church leaders to promote and strengthen the servant ministry of all the baptized. We engage as a community of learners in mutual ministry, sharing resources, knowledge and enjoyment.

NEW: What Do the Canons Say? Workshop Saturday, May 7, 2022 Online FREE Have you ever read the The Episcopal Church deacon canons? The Canadian Anglican ones? Canons are not just a set of rules to obey. They are the Church’s effort to provide guidelines for flourishing. AED led a major effort to get new TEC canons adopted in 2006, and they outline both requirements and best practices for diaconal supports. Join Lori Mills-Curran and an Anglican Church of Canada guest to do a deep dive. You will most likely be astonished to learn how much they have to offer to enrich your ministry.
