Anglican Communion Alliance

Great to see Vincent Solomon (Urban Indigenous Ministry Developer, Anglican Diocese of Rupert’s Land) among the signatories! "Bill C-7 goes against many of our cultural values, belief systems, and sacred teachings. The view that MAiD is a dignified end for the terminally ill or those living with disabilities should not be forced on our peoples." -From a letter signed by 16 Indigenous leaders from across Canada.

Looking forward to this series! Great work by our friends at Anglican Renewal Ministries.

Letter from the Rev. Canon Dr. Murray Henderson, past Chair & founding Member of ACA. "The ACA gives visibility to orthodoxy as does no other group in the Canadian Church...." https://mailchi.mp//aca-gives-visibility-to-orthodoxy-as-d

"Though for no other cause, yet for thisthat posterity may know we have not loosely through silence permitted things to pass away as in a dreamfor this I write, offering to posterity an account of the present state and legal establishment of the Church of England, and a vindication of those who have fought so hard to preserve and uphold it" (Richard Hooker, from 1st chapter of the Preface to the Laws; paraphrased by Brad Littlejohn).

Thank you to Norman Ishulutak (in the Diocese of the Arctic) for sharing this reflection... "I just realized that after many years of attending church and having listen to many sermons from many ajuriqsuijiit, ikajurtiit, Deacons, Reverends, Bishops and many other guest speakers and local Bible studies like Angutiuqataujut that Mike Gardener started many years ago it really helped me to prepare to live in this modern age of uncertainty. Thank you Lord Jesus for bringing Anglican Church to the Canadian Arctic many years ago! How Awesome is God?!"

PROPOSED CHANGES to Canada’s assisted suicide legislation will require a strong and renewed response from Anglican leaders...

"I found that in academic study I was becoming increasingly siloed off from others...I’ve found both the deep work, as well as the breadth of my reading now, has played well into making me a better human being, and thus, a better pastor."

Latest News: The Diocese of Albany’s Standing Committee responded to this week’s ruling against their bishop, the Rt. Rev. William Love, with a declaration of unequivocal support and a pointed protest against the ruling panel’s interpretation of B012. http://ow.ly/ldsD50BQ8PE

After much thought and prayer, recognizing that whatever disciplinary action would be offered would not be anything I could in good conscience agree to, I have made the very difficult, but necessary decision to resign as Bishop of Albany, effective February 1, 2021...

We are, in effect, imposing the intentional taking of human life as a solution to human suffering. This is not just deeply troubling; it is unacceptable for a civilized society."
