This article is an old one and pertains to the US, but it has relevance for Canada now: The American Anglican Council, an organization of conservative Episcopalians and Anglicans, is demanding that The Episcopal Church tell Episcopalians where the money is coming from in its massive multi-million dollar litigation against orthodox parishes and priests. Canon [...]

From here February 10, 2009 So what are we to make of the latest Communiqué from the Primates of the Anglican Communion? By “we” I mean those of us who have separated from the General Convention of TEC, while remaining full members of the Communion by realignment with another Province. Is it good news, bad [...]

Archbishop Hiltz reflects on the recent Primates meeting. I don’t think there is anything much new here. I wonder though with the ratification of ACNA this year, whether the whole “boundary crossing” issue will be rendered moot? Probably not. Funny thing is, when it comes to matters of faith we are encouraged to make that [...]

The relentlessly satirical bi-weekly newspaper Atlantic Canada Frank congratulates Nova Scotia-born The Very Rev Michael Hawkins on his election as Bishop of Saskatchewan on 6 December. At least, I think it’s a congratulation. With Frank, it can be hard to tell. Frank appears most interested in Rev Hawkins’s lineage: His late father George Hawkins was [...]

Here Another meeting of Anglican Primates has come and gone, nothing of substance has been done or decided. The problem the Communion faces is not with one or two individuals such as Gene Robinson who unfairly has become the focus of our problems, but rather with false teaching. Those who teach that sexual immorality is [...]

This is how Bishop Jack Iker, from the Diocese of Fort Worth (which has left The Epscopal Church of the USA as a diocese) does it: In a hearing Monday, Feb. 2, the Bishop and Standing Committee of the Episcopal Diocese of Fort Worth took action under diocesan Canon 32 to release the property and [...]

Damian Thompson on the state of the Anglican Communion: The Primates of the Anglican Communion, meeting in Alexandria, have begged the Archbishop of Canterbury to arrange professional mediation so they can continue talks with increasingly powerful conservative factions. Yes, things really are that bad. The “Common Cause Partnership” is a coalition of traditionalist and evangelical [...]

Response to the Anglican Primates’ Communiqué The Anglican Network in Canada (ANiC) is deeply grateful for the work of the Anglican Communion Primates (leaders of Anglican Churches worldwide) who met this week in Alexandria, Egypt, to discuss issues of justice, righteousness and the current brokenness in the Anglican Communion. The Primates addressed pressing humanitarian and [...]

From the Journal The primates (national archbishops) of the Anglican Communion ended their Feb. 1 to 5 meeting with no consensus on how to deal with a coalition of Anglicans who have left their churches in North America because of differences over such issues as sexuality and want to be recognized as a separate province.

From Here I admit, my reaction to this is that the interesting things that happened and were said obviously didn’t make it into the communique which is as bland as cold porridge.

If Archbishop Aspinall said what he was quoted as saying here and here, Dr Ephraim Radner says he doesn’t know what he’s talking about: If indeed Abp. Aspinall said what he is reported to have said and in the context he appears to have said it—and I don’t really know—he doesn’t know what he is [...]
