Well, I can’t say I’m surprised. It is a pretty clear indication of his position, though, isn’t it? Anglican Samizdat has a video, first few seconds are not particularly safe for work. In other Ottawa news, Bishop John Chapman’s address at the New St. Alban’s first Sunday morning service can be found here, on page [...]

Old news, really, but a recent article from the Journal, when it notes that there are now eight dioceses blessing same-sex marriages, highlights once more the farce that “gracious restraint” has always been in Canada.

Last Sunday, the Diocese of Huron held a healing mass, or, more accurately, a propaganda mass since I am quite sure that none of those they had wronged were actually there. From here: Bishop marks church’s ‘new beginning’. After an almost decade-long rift among Anglicans that led to a breakaway group trying and failing to [...]

Bishop Barry Clarke also gives his response in which he acknowledges both the protest and his intention to carry on regardless. This type of protest seems to accomplish little other than identifying the confirmed troublemakers to the diocesan hierarchy thereby limiting their career options. Still, perhaps it is better than the acquiescence implied by silence. [...]

From here: It’s the kiss of death, says a layman. With diminishing numbers of people and thinning resources the Anglican Church of Canada’s most western province is gearing up for what is being called by its critics a “survival mode” strategy. The Anglican Diocese of British Columbia (B.C.) announced in January, 2011, that it planned [...]

From the Windsor Star A leader of a breakaway Anglican group expressed disappointment Wednesday with a Superior Court ruling which rejected the group’s bid to take over St. Aidan’s Church. But the former parishioners are already looking for a new site to continue services, said Cathy Knight. Ontario Superior Court Justice T.D. Little ruled the [...]

I recognize that most here will not see this as a joyous evening at all, but this, for what it’s worth, is New Westminster‘s take on this: Installation of the Reverend Allen Doerksen, Wednesday, September 7th, 7:30pm You are invited to join in the celebration! On September, 7th, 2011 at 7:30pm at St. Matthew, Abbotsford, [...]

From here: July 16, 2011 — All Saints Sandy Hill is a parish of about 120 people, more than half of whom you will find worshipping together in our lovely sanctuary on a Sunday morning, and nearly half of whom are regular, generous, identifiable financial supporters. Now, in 2011, we are nearing a tipping point. [...]

Maybe it’s just me, but reading this letter gives me the impression it was written through clenched teeth. From here: On July 10, 2011 clergy of the Anglican Network in Canada (ANiC) who since May 2008 had been occupying the Anglican Church of Canada building on Guilford Drive in Abbotsford left that building to conduct [...]

From the National Post It was a historic moment in Ottawa as a subdued crowd of about 300 filed out of St. Alban’s Anglican Church on King Edward Avenue on Sunday, leaving behind a place where some have roots going back to Confederation. Founded in 1865, the church where Sir John A. Macdonald worshipped has [...]

This is a rather confusing article; it seems to mix up the Anglican Church of Canada from which ANiC parishes have departed, with the broader Anglican Communion from which they haven’t. Read it all here: ST. JOHN’S Shaughnessy — the largest Anglican parish in Canada — is denying a seemingly persistent rumour that it has [...]

Via email. Please restrict your comments on this thread to written prayers. Bishop Don asks the ANiC family to join him in praying for this urgent situation.
