I first thought I’d link to the LambethConference article, but then I thought perhaps it would be better reproduced in full. This exchange underlines precisely why the ANiC parishes are doing what they have to do: Paula Valentine, a parishioner at St. Hilda’s Oakville, Province of the Southern Cone wrote a letter to the editor [...]

The clergy and wardens of St.George’s will be meeting (or quite possibly already have met – pray anyway, our God is outside of time!) with representatives from the Diocese of Niagara to see if there remains any possibility for an amicable way forward. Please pray for Fr. Charlie and Fr. Ray David, and for the [...]

Why, you might ask? Go read the whole article if you like, but the relevant bit is here: But Michael Patterson, a spokesman for the Niagara diocese, said many parishioners don’t agree with what’s happening and “we have a responsibility to them.” Many parishioners don’t agree?

From the comments (the author gave me kind permission to post) The view from St George’s this Sunday. We had an amazing time here. Various churches brought their entire congregations to St George’s this morning as a show of force for the bishop, even a convent of nuns. . We were gracious hosts I believe. [...]

A report from St Hilda’s… We had an amazing time with Jesus this morning! St. Hilda’s put on a gracious welcome to our diocesan guests.

I toyed with whether I would post this or not, as I found it so thoroughly distasteful. So, I’m compromising with a link here should you wish to view the latest Niagara diocesan offering. The upshot is of a diocesan rent-a-crowd (plus a handful of St Georges and ex-St Georges parishioners who IMHO were the [...]
