By J. I. Packer, November 2007. Aim of Talk Do you remember Peter Sellers, creator of Dr. Strangelove and Inspector Clouseau, man of a thousand voices as they called him? He was once asked to record the whole Bible on disc, and he refused. “To do something like that,” he said, “you need to know [...]

Globe and Mail reporter Michael Valpy deploys the heavy rhetorical artillery against uppity orthodox Anglicans. The schism in Canadian Anglicanism turned ugly at week’s end with threatened fights over ownership of church buildings, hints of swift punishment for rebellious priests and the uncrating of an alternative church structure for clergy and laity who reject openness [...]

This will be a short charge – cannot review the year that has gone! Appointments and announcements. When you retire from ACoC HoB you receive a glass dish with diocesan coats of arms. Managed to break it before it got home. Perhaps a god-incidence….. Thought about it when I reliquished my orders. Many fond memories [...]

I’ll continue blogging this morning as I can. Rev David Short is giving a Bible study on the power of God. Talking about an earthquake in the church and we are now seeing the tsunami. Do not be like an ostrich and bury your head in the sand, but seek higher ground. Acts 2:32-36: The [...]

This afternoon I understand that some legal implications will be discussed. For obvious reasons, I’m not planning on blogging anything sensitive. Anything else I’ll update here as the afternoon goes on. Note on numbers: There are 52 million in the Anglican communion. Official number 77 million (lots of nominal CoE in that). Provinces that have [...]

Good morning from Burlington. Unlike at General Synod this is not going to be a liveblog. However it might be a not-entirely-dead blog either. Currently Bp Harvey has given his opening address, and indeed this is going to be a ‘doing’ conference. Cheryl Chang is now giving a chronology of events that have brought us [...]

The Anglican Journal article that Peter blogged yesterday has gone international. Not only is it picked up by Bishop Michael Ingham’s favourite newspaper reporter, Michael Valpy of the Globe and Mail, Agence France-Presse also brings a report. First, the Globe: The Anglican Bishop of New Westminster says the division over homosexuality in the Canadian church [...]

Today’s entry from the Network Conference prayer guide, “Contending for the Gospel Through Prayer”: On this, the last day before the conference, let us pray this well-known Prayer for the Church found in the Book of Common Prayer: Most gracious God, we humbly beseech thee for thy holy Catholic Church. Fill it with all truth; [...]

Bishop Ingham is not happy, according to the Anglican Journal. There are so many things that could be said on that article, but the best bit surely was here: “This is a full-blown schism now within the Canadian church and it is a direct attack upon the catholicity of the church and the gospel of [...]

Today’s entry from the Network Conference prayer guide, “Contending for the Gospel Through Prayer”: “I have made you known to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them.” John 17: 26 This is not [...]

Today’s entry from the Network Conference prayer guide, “Contending for the Gospel Through Prayer”: “Righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I know you, and they know that you have sent me.” John 17: 25 Why does Jesus seemingly belabour the fact that the Father sent Him? Perhaps because He knew that this [...]
