Is here: CofE supporters of Vancouver parishes in the Anglican Network in Canada
The last time I looked the count was almost 900 and it has spread well beyond the CofE; even though I’m not convinced that Internet petitions make much difference, you might consider signing it.
Perusing the signatories is also worthwhile Here. This one from Rev. Canon George Iype Kovoor is interesting:
As a Chaplain to Queen Elizabeth II, I want to stand in solidarity with you and express my outrage against this form of episcopal oppression.
And this one from Rev. Nigel Mason, UK:
The church I am Rector of (St. Denys’ Church, Rotherfield – Church of England) was founded in 792AD and I wish to affirm the authenticity of the Anglican Network in Canada. They are the only Anglican church I and my congregation recognise as authentically Anglican on orthodoxy and practice.
From Mrs. Alison Ruoff (UK):
I do thank the Lord for your courage and example to us all. Thank you for standing up for Biblical truth in the face of adversity and apostasy from your church ‘leaders’. I pray that should similar events happen in the Church of England that God will give us the strength to do likewise.
From Brigadier Ian Dobbie (UK):
The Anglican Network in Canada manifestly consists of godly, biblically orthodox people who hate sin, love Christ and desire to serve Him and their fellow men and women in a way which pleases Him. It is disgraceful that they have been persecuted for Christian orthodoxy. Those who are abusing them will find that their action will not bear inspection before the judgement seat of Christ. If they love their souls they will repent and submit to the Saviour Who has loved them and died to save them.
From Canon Professor Anthony Thiselton (UK)
Anglican identity is defined by doctrine, not by an outmoded view of episcopal succession. It the Canadian bishops whose Anglican identity is in question.
There are many other encouraging comments.
The support of Anglicans from around the world is very encouraging. We should tell as many people as possible about this online petition. At some point it will be so long that it will be impossible to ignore.
we were told at an ANiC info meeting that 34,000,000 Anglican Christians worldwide are aware of us and are praying for us – awesome.
Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter. Thx for the post
