This is from the American Anglican Council. Although it is specific to TEC, much the same has been happening in Canada on a smaller scale:
Atlanta, GA - The American Anglican Council today made public an accounting of how The Episcopal Church (TEC) has spent millions of dollars in over 50 lawsuits, deposed or inhibited 12 bishops and more than 400 other clergy, and violated its own canons numerous times. The paper, titled “The Episcopal Church: Overbearing and Unjust Episcopal Acts,” chronicles each of these subjects and a number of other abuses or injustices committed against faithful Anglicans in the U.S.
“The Episcopal Church is systematically targeting, intimidating, suing, and ultimately persecuting orthodox Anglicans throughout the U.S.” said the Rt. Rev. David C. Anderson, President and CEO of the American Anglican Council. “This paper illustrates the lengths to which TEC leaders will go to silence the voices of orthodox Christians in the Anglican Communion - Anglicans whose only offense was to stand for the uniqueness of Jesus Christ and Anglican Communion teaching.”
The Rev. Philip Ashey, AAC Chief Operating Officer and a practicing attorney, originally authored the 29 page paper at the request of several members of the Church of England’s General Synod. Fr. Ashey was also instrumental in helping draft the constitution and canons of the new Anglican Church in North America (AC-NA). The Synod is expected to vote on the nature of its communion with the AC-NA next week. The AC-NA, of which the American Anglican Council is a member group, formed in 2009 and is made up of many former Episcopalians who left that church over deep theological differences.
While many groups outside and inside TEC have called into question the church’s canonical and legal practices, Fr. Ashey believes few realize the extent of the abuse. “I don’t think there has ever been a period of time in the Anglican Communion where one church has deposed such a huge number of clergy. It is my hope that Anglicans around the world will read this paper and do something to halt these unjust and un-Christian actions.”

Here is one highlight from the report; a similar action was taken by the Diocese of Niagara in its suit against the Niagara ANiC parishes:
Equally, if not more disturbing, is the abuse of power by TEC leaders and bishops in authorizing litigation against volunteer vestry (parish council) members and other volunteer leaders in church property cases. Although volunteers do not hold title to the property of the departing congregations, there are at least 48 instances where such volunteer vestry members have been sued by TEC or the diocese—in some cases, seeking the personal assets of these volunteers for monetary punitive damages in excess of the value of the property at issue. Such claims represent a position by Episcopal bishops and attorneys that a volunteer vestry member‘s vote to leave TEC is “oppressive and malicious illegal behavior” that justifies the forfeiture of a volunteer‘s personal assets. In addition to suffering the intentional infliction of emotional distress at the possibility of losing their personal assets, volunteer vestry members and other leaders have suffered damages by the mere filing of such claims including difficulty in refinancing their homes, difficulty in obtaining security clearances for new jobs, and prejudice to their credit reports.

This report could not have come at a better time! I hope our Essentials Reps will have copies of this for every synod member in June.
I also hope it will be available at the Church of England’s General Synod next week. It might influence the vote on Communion with ACNA.
Gordon, it is my understanding that it was prepared specifically for that purpose.
Although this may seem as a departure from the intended stream
Could you please provide reference to, ” a similar action was taken by the Diocese of Niagara in its suit against the Niagara ANiC parishes”. This seems to run parrallel to the following.
You may be aware of the miriad number of negative actions taken against Christians by the Human Rights Commissions of Canada. one of the latest is here- http://missnixon.wordpress.com/2009/11/08/christian-horizons-not-if-the-ontario-hrt-has-a-say-in-it/
Included in this is a quote: “This decision is important,” commented Chief Commissioner Barbara Hall, “because it sets out that when faith-based and other organizations move beyond serving the interests of their particular community to serving the general public, the rights of others, including employees, must be respected.”
Since our ACNA has publically stated that they are intent on “missional” efforts could this be construed by Ms. Hall as serving the general public. I realize this is a stretch, but in my opinion “stretching” has been happening since Truedough put pen to paper. Sorry (too cryptic), since the Magna Carta was ditched and replaced by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
