  • Baptist North American Phase Communiqué

    Baptist North American Phase Communiqué

    North American Phase 2003 Communiqué The North American phase of the international theological conversations between Anglicans and Baptists was held at Acadia University, Wolfville, Nova Scotia, from 10 - 12 September 2003. This regional meeting follows five previous phases held in Norwich (for Europe) in 2000, Yangon (for Asia/Pacific) in 2001, Nairobi (for Africa), in 2002, Santiago,Chile (for Latin America) and Nassau (for the Caribbean) in January 2003. Participants came from the United States and Canada, representing their respective Churches and joined the members of the "Continuation Committee" which is conducting these regional gatherings on behalf of the Baptist World Alliance and the Anglican Communion. The Anglican and Baptist representatives gave an overview of the life of their respective communions in North America. Seven substantive papers were presented on Common Challenges facing Anglicans and Baptists in North America, Baptist Life in North America, A North American Baptist Understanding of Continuity, two papers on The Nature and Role of the Church from Anglican and Baptist perspectives and paired papers on Authority. The plenary discussion drew together insights from the American and Canadian contexts and related them to the themes emerging from previous regional conversations, namely: continuity and story; the meaning of recognition; mission and ministry; baptism and Christian initiation; membership of the Church; the Eucharist or Lord's Supper; oversight and episcope; and confessing the apostolic faith. Discussion focussed on how each tradition handled diversity of views within their tradition, and the nature of denominational allegiance as well as the diversity between the two communions. The meeting began with a celebration of an Anglican Eucharist in the local parish church, and included shared prayer and devotions conducted by Baptists and Anglicans.

    Politics and Religion: The Faith of God’s People, The Gospel, and Anglican Interpretation by Kyle Michael Bradley Wagner A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Trinity College and the Toronto School of Theology. In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Ministry awarded by Trinity College and The University of Toronto. © Copyright by Kyle Michael Bradley Wagner 2020 Politics and Religion: The Faith of God’s People, The Gospel, and Anglican Interpretation Kyle Michael Bradley Wagner Doctor of Ministry Trinity College and the University of Toronto 2020 Abstract This thesis examines the nature of religion and politics in the lives of Canadian Anglicans. As a phenomenological study, the collective voices of Anglicans in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia were gathered and analyzed. The research identifies how some Anglicans engage the world and their understanding of the scripture. The scope of this study included interviews and a questionnaire with twelve anonymous Anglicans and provided essential insight into the lives of Anglicans in Canada at a local level and therefore is something that the broader church should consider. ii Autobiographical Statement Born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and raised in Bedeque, Prince Edward Island, the Rev. Kyle Wagner is an Anglican priest in the Diocese of Nova Scotia and PEI. From a young age, Rev. Wagner had an interest in politics, serving as a page in the Prince Edward Island Legislature. He also worked as an assistant to former island Premier and Senator Catherine Callbeck. Rev. Wagner is an advocate of social justice and encourages the church to speak publicly on issues of social justice.
