From the ANiC newsletter: Mr Justice Kelleher today ordered the Trustees of four Vancouver area ANIC parishes to pay “costs” to the Bishop and Diocese of New Westminster resulting from the trial approximately one year ago. The amount of “costs” is still to be determined, but does not cover actual legal expenses of the diocese. [...]

My final interview from synod: David: During synod, you heard that a motion to add an amendment to include ex-gays – as it was put – in the continuing study on sexuality was defeated. The person who spoke against that amendment referred to “so-called ex-gays”. Reaction? Daryle: The “so-called” seeks to deliberately minimise the life, [...]

A letter in the Abbotsford Times: An open letter to the people of St Matthew’s Anglican Church from the leadership of Mountain Park Community Church . . . From time to time all of us face adversity. It is even more challenging to face adversity when it comes from those who are your family. St. [...]

From the Telegraph-Journal: A rift in the Anglican Church, whose long history in New Brunswick reaches back to the Loyalists, is fuelling the expansion of a new Anglican movement in the province. The Anglican Network in Canada, a breakaway group from the Anglican Church of Canada, has established a church in Moncton and is setting [...]

A Holy Post article that was posted today. You can also comment on this at Holy Post: David Jenkins June 21, 2010 I am a member of St. Hilda’s Anglican Church, the parish that was recently featured in the National Post article, “Oakville Anglican parish home of profound revolution.” St. Hilda’s separation from the Anglican [...]

Here’s an intersting take on Synod 2010, from the Anglican Journal. I haven’t quoted the whole article, you can read it in its entirety here General Synod 2010 did not approve the so-called local option that would allow dioceses to grant same-sex blessings. Neither did it take a legislative decision on the matter. It did, [...]

Received via email: To those conservatives who are within the Anglican Church of Canada, particularly the Anglican Communion Alliance, who are considering how to respond to General Synod 2010’s proposal of ongoing “dialogue” on human sexuality: Apostate Waffle Canadians are known for making waffles, and liberally dousing them in maple syrup. The Anglican Church of [...]

The original article is here, and Bishop Bird’s response is in the Letters section of today’s National Post and on Holy Post: Re: Gaining Respect; St. Hilda’s Parish Is No Longer An Outpost Of Orthodoxy But A More Acceptable Manifestation Of Anglican Faith, Charles Lewis, June 12. After reading this article I am left asking [...]

David: Going back to an earlier point where I mentioned that the professor of church history took a long view of what is happening in the ACoC: it’s one thing to take a long view in an academic sense, but for the average ANiC parishioner, all they want is to be part of an organisation [...]

David: “Spirit” is another word that seems to be misused. KJS made the rather strange point in her Pentecost letter that different people are hearing different messages from the Spirit. Surely the Spirit would not give different messages on the same subject depending on the “context”. Rev. Dr. George: I bet you, if you were [...]

David: Is there a particular issue facing the Anglican Church of Canada that needs to be addressed by this synod and, is it being addressed? Rev. Dr. George: The synod is going to talk about the Covenant; it’s most likely they will initiate and commend a period of study of the Covenant; it might have [...]

From the National Post: Charles Lewis, National Post Saturday, Jun. 12, 2010 There is nothing that hints at revolution on this suburban road in Oakville, where St. Hilda’s Anglican parish has sat for more than 50 years. No wild signs of protest, no warnings of hell and damnation, and no list of Luther-like demands nailed [...]

From here: Dear Friends in Christ I write to you on the last full day of General Synod where I have joined our Niagara delegates in what I believe has been a productive, informative and important gathering in the life of our Church. These ten days in Halifax have seen us pass a number of [...]

My final National Post article about Synod: HALIFAX – As synod draws to a close, I find myself wondering what it was all for. After so many words, motions, resolutions, procedures, discernments, presentations and earnest pondering, I am beginning to understand the impulse that drives some to enter a silent monastic order. What has been [...]

A continuation of this interview. David: My Christian background is one of charismatic Anglicanism. During the late 70s and early 80s when some parishes were experiencing renewal, the Holy Spirit was given a lot of attention. During that period our diocese and national church never mentioned the Holy Spirit. Now you don’t hear 2 sentences [...]
