#2: that comment applies far more to Ingham himself. He’s the one kicking and screaming about devout Anglicans “stealing” their own property, launching lawsuits against them, and pad-locking the empty buildings after their congregations have been purged.

Bricks and mortar are all this bishop values; the people themselves are entirely dispensable.

Perhaps you might find the source of cheap shots in a mirror! It is presumptious of you to assume that the motive behind the trial is attachment to buildings. Some of us feel very strongly that the facilities will be used as they were intended to be if they are available to those in ANIC. But we won’t stay if the courts turn the properties over for the misuse of the diocese of New Westminster.

Michael Ingham’s comments are quite appropriate to those who are firstly Anglicans and secondarily Christians (I know this because I was once such).

Cynical to beggar belief? Coming in the middle of a property trial in which “some” Anglicans are fighting at great expense to defend their attachment to certain buildings, I prefer to charitibly dismiss it as a cheap shot.

“I’m hopeful they will stay. One should never underestimate the attachment of some Anglicans to their buildings”

The degree of cynicism this comment reveals beggars belief.

Cheryl, thank you for your reporting. You may be assured of the prayers of many around the world for you, we look on with deep concern and pray that together we would honour the Lord Jesus and find our joy, even (especially) in times of trial, in being known by God and loving him.
