After attending Diocese of Niagara synods – some years ago now – I used to come away wondering why I was an Anglican. This synod was different: we had 3 days of magnificent worship, fellowship and glorifying God through parish testimonies and reports. It was encouraging to see all the ACNA bishops present and many [...]

CATHARINES–An invitation from Rome to join the Catholic Church is “offensive in the extreme,” the head of a breakaway group of Canadian Anglicans says. “Apart from being an intrusion at the very highest levels [...]

Great breakfast with almost enough coffee. Morning Eucharist – listening to bishop’s charge: Need to move into areas that haven’t specifically asked for our help. All is not well in the ACoC – there is a salvation issue. Bp. Don went over our ANiC numbers – our ASA is now 4000; to God be the [...]

One of the advantages of being Anglican is the food: we were treated to a huge breakfast and lunch – and tonight there is a banquet (which I will have to miss ). The first session this afternoon is the Annual Plan for 2010 presented by Bishop Don: Prayer. We are where we are today [...]

A rector in the Diocese of BC gets it wrong: What is happening in the Anglican Church? Parishioners are leaving parishes. Parishes have left dioceses. Dioceses have withdrawn from their national governing bodies. People who have worshiped together for decades can no longer share a pew on Sunday. The problem is not theology. It is [...]

Here is a rather strange, almost confrontational, interview from the New York Times with Archbishop Bob Duncan: the interviewer begins by accusing him of being “ultraright”! Abp. Duncan ends with a thought that is encouraging for Canadian ANiC parishes engaged in lawsuits: “They may get the stuff, but we’ll get the souls. They may get [...]

From the Niagara Anglican: It seemed like a good idea at the time and it seems like a good idea now. The Diocese needs $750,000 to cover all those costs incurred, in part, when the four parishes left the Anglican church for the Network, together with other shortfalls.
