Update: The radio announcement said that the 10:00 service at St. George’s was cancelled. St. George’s doesn’t have a 10:00 service. The service that was cancelled was the “alternate” service at the old schoolhouse, but the radio announcement did not make that clear. Piece has been edited for clarity By email: There were radio announcements [...]

From here. A week after locking the doors of St. Chad’s Anglican Church to all parishioners, the Toronto diocese will hold services tomorrow morning at the church, which last month narrowly voted to split from mainstream Anglicanism (the writer means the Anglican Church of Canada, I think) in a dispute over same sex marriage blessings.
