  • One Baptism, One Hope in God's Call
    A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDING OFFICERS OF THE GENERAL CONVENTION Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ: As your Presiding Officers we appointed the Special Commission on the Episcopal Church and the Anglican Communion late in 2005. The Special Commission was asked to prepare the way for a consideration by the 75th General Convention of recent developments in the Episcopal Church and the Anglican Communion with a view to maintaining the highest degree of communion possible. They have admirably discharged this very weighty task. With our deep thanks to them we commend their report to you. Here we would like to make three observations. First, though this document is a beginning point for legislative decisions—and indeed includes eleven resolutions—it is first and foremost a theological document. Its primary focus is on our understanding of our participation as members of the Anglican Communion in God’s Trinitarian life and God’s mission to which we are called. Second, the report is intended as the beginning point for a conversation that will take place in Columbus under the aegis of the Holy Spirit. That is, it is intended to start the conversation and not conclude it: the Commission has seen itself as preparing the General Convention to respond in the wisest possible ways. Again, we thank the members of the Special Commission who have been servants of this process of discernment. Third, following up on the careful work done by the Commission, the General Convention is now invited into the Windsor Process and the further unfolding of our common life together in the Anglican Communion.

  • Read the Parish History
    For all those, past and present, who have worshipped and made the Church of the Ascension the warm and welcoming sanctuary that it is. Introduction The Right Reverend Peter R. Coffin Eighth Bishop of Ottawa Congratulations on the publishing of this history of the Church of the Ascension, which actually spent its first four decades as Holy Trinity on Canal Road in the village of Archville. The Rector at the time of the name change was Robert Jefferson, who later became the third Bishop of Ottawa. So many things have changed since that time. With the building of the Pretoria Bridge, the parish no longer needed its row-boat to ferry parishioners across the Canal. What a pilgrim image! And now the Church of the Ascension is very much an inner city congregation and has adapted to that reality in so many ways. I have a sense that this is a deeply loyal and supportive community, well concerned about and engaged in those things required by God: “to do justice and to love kindness and to walk humbly with God” (Micah 6:8). This parish has seen much of the history of this city, and has lived through the tumult of the last century. In the midst of this, it is a witness, and may it continue to be so. In the quest for the Kingdom of God, there are often difficult times and always a need for a generous and gentle people to establish God’s rule. Blessings. In the peace and grace of Jesus. The Right Reverend Peter R.

  • International Commission of the Anglican-Orthodox Theological Dialogue
    International Commission of the Anglican-Orthodox Theological Dialogue June 2005 Communiqué The Kykkos Monastery, Cyprus The International Commission of the Anglican-Orthodox Theological Dialogue met in the Holy Royal and Stavropegic Monastery of Kykkos, in Cyprus, from Thursday, June 2nd - Wednesday, June 8th, 2005, as guests of the Church of Cyprus and of the Most Revd Bishop Nikiforos of Kykkos, the Abbot of the monastery. The Commission wish to record their gratitude to His Eminence the Abbot, the brothers and staff of Kykkos Monastery for the warmth of their welcome, and to Bishop Vasilios of Trimithus who has organised and co-ordinated the many aspects of this meeting, together with the staff of the Ecumenical Relations Office of the Church of Cyprus. The Commission consists of representatives of the Orthodox Churches and of the Anglican Communion. The Dialogue began its work by exploring theological and doctrinal issues of concern for dialogue between the Anglican and Orthodox Churches in 1973. Agreements reached in its first two stages were set out in the Moscow Agreed Statement of 1976 and the Dublin Agreed Statement of 1984. In its present third phase, which began in 1989, the Commission has been examining our understanding of the Church in the light of our faith in the Holy Trinity, the Person of Christ and the Holy Spirit. From 1989, the Commission has met on an annual or biannual basis, completing Statements on Trinity and the Church, Christ, the Spirit and the Church, Christ, Humanity and the Church (all 1998), Episcope, Episcopos, and the Church (2001), Christ, the Priesthood and the Church (2002).

  • September 2013 Remember the Sabbath
    ANGLICAN JOURNAL Inspiring the faithful since 1875 vol. 139 no. 7 september 2013 Remember the Sabbath September seems to be all about gearing up for back to school, back to work, back to the rat race after the fleeting reprieve of summer holidays (if you had any). The promise that computers and labour-saving technology would mean more leisure time for everyone now seems laughable in the face of statistics that clearly show most people are working harder and longer than ever. In the midst of that busyness, and the stress that comes with it, the Journal poses the question, have we forgotten Sabbath? “Remember the Sabbath day, and keep it holy. For six days you shall labour and do all your work. But the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God; you shall not do any work” is the fourth commandment (Ex. 20:8–10a), but what does it mean in a society that can shop, work and chatter online 24/7? What have we lost? What does it cost? What is the church’s role in calling people to keep the Sabbath? —Leigh Anne Williams See RX, p. 8 Drop thy still dews of quietness, till all our strivings cease; take from our souls the strain and stress, and let our ordered lives confess the beauty of thy peace. Hymn 455, Common Praise MARKS OF MISSION PHOTO CONTEST FINALIST JOYCE COUVRETTE an ‘APPALLING, INHUMANE’ EXPERIMENT MARRIAGE MOTION CONTROVERSIAL On July 16, several publications various groups, including the church, carried a Canadian Press (CP) story for a federal investigation into the For some Canadian Anglicans, General Synod’s about Ian Mosby, a historian from the matter.

  • Salvation and the Church an Agreed Statement
    Salvation and the Church An Agreed Statement SECOND ANGLICAN/ROMAN CATHOLIC INTERNATIONAL COMMISSION The Status of the Document The document published here is the work of the Second Anglican-Roman Catholic International Commission (ARCIC II). It is simply a joint statement of the Commission. The authorities who appointed the Commission have allowed the statement to be published so that it may be discussed and improved by the suggestions received. It is not an authoritative declaration by the Roman Catholic Church or by the Anglican Communion, who will evaluate the document in order to take a position on it in due time. The Commission will be glad to receive observations and criticisms made in a constructive and fraternal spirit. Its work is done to serve the progress of the two communions towards unity. It will give responsible attention to every serious comment which is likely to help in improving or completing the result so far achieved. This wider collaboration will make its work to a greater degree work in common, and by God's grace "will lead us to the full unity to which he calls us" (Common Declaration of Pope John Paul II and the Archbishop of Canterbury, Pentecost 1982). Preface by the Co-Chairmen The 29th of May 1982, the Eve of the Feast of Pentecost, was a day of great significance for the Anglican and Roman Catholic Churches on their path towards unity. In the footsteps of St Augustine of Canterbury whom his predecessor Pope Gregory the Great had sent from Rome to convert the English, Pope John Paul II visited Canterbury.

    ACPO The Province of Canada 2003 ACPO Conference was held at the Lavrock Camp and Conference Centre, Salmonier Line, in the diocese of Eastern Newfoundland and Labrador. The Chair, The Rt. Rev’d Donald Harvey, was very active in the planning and preparations for the weekend. He offered a presentation to the assessors on Friday morning, as well as presided and preached at the Friday afternoon Eucharist. We are grateful for his input into the preparation and opening day of the weekend. Assessors There were fifteen assessors from across the province representing the seven dioceses and were all recommended by their diocesan bishop. It was evident as time unfolded that the assessors had prepared themselves for this conference by reading the information circulated beforehand. I am grateful for their dedication to the ACPO process. The energy and skill of this team are to be commended. Team Training We were fortunate to have an evening of training on Thursday with the assessors led by the Rev’d Dr. Alex Faseruk, M.U.N.L. School of Business. Dr. Faseruk, himself a deacon, chairs the Diaconal Discernment Committee in the diocese of Eastern Newfoundland and Labrador. He reflected on the ACPO process, the concept of discernment in terms of call, character and charisms, tips for interviewing and report writing. This presentation was certainly an excellent start for the conference. A ‘taste of Newfoundland’ followed the Team Training session. This time of fellowship helped cement a strong sense of community in a relaxed setting. Chaplain Our chaplain, the Rev’d Linda Budden, a parish priest in our diocese, coordinated the worship with the candidates and provided pastoral care to all in need throughout the weekend.

  • IATDC - Inter Anglican Theological and Doctrinal Commission
    IATDC - Inter Anglican Theological and Doctrinal Commission The current Inter-Anglican Theological and Doctrinal Commission was set up in 2001 and given a mandate to study the nature of communion, and ways in which the relationship between the autonomous churches which make up the Anglican Communion could be sustained and strengthened. In this it was seen to be developing the work of its predecessor Commission which had produced The Virginia Report and associated statements on Women in the Episcopate. Subsequent controversies, which have led to a potential or actual 'impairment' of the relationship among the churches, have directed the Commission's attention to ways in which the renewal of a common Anglican theological tradition must accompany any discussion of the renewal of the Communion's common life. The commission finished its work in 2008.
