PrecariousCondition Most church members have at least some familiarity with the conflict that continues to plague the Episcopal Church. Since the decisions on sexuality made by the 74th General Convention in 2004, much of the Church has been divided with little hope of reconciliation . Meanwhile, to the north, the Anglican Church of Canada seems to be in an even more precarious condition. Facing the same division over sexuality as its American counterpart , the Canadian Church is still reeling from the residential schools crisis that brought about immense financial settlements and forced the banlauptcy of one diocese. Amid that gloomy picture , Canada's House of Bishops recently received a report that indicated if the current trends in membership continue, the Church is likely to be extinct by the end of this century. The report revealed that the Canadian Church is losing about 13,000members per year - about 2 percent of its membership - and has suffered a 53 percent decline over the past 40 years. A recentreport indicates That is a larger decline than any church in Canada. The obvious question is how will the Anglican Church of Canada respond to that if the currenttrends in the report? Archbishop Andrew Hutchison , the primate, told journalists that the findings in the report are "causing us to refocus our efforts on issues that we membershipcontinue, the haven't been able to address effectively in recent years." He added that church leaders had spent so much time, energy and resources on the residential schools AnglicanChurch of Canada issue that other matters had not received much energy or attention. Like the Episcopal Church, Canada's Anglicans seem to be mired in bureaucracy and is likelyto be extinctby the bogged down by legislative committees. Under normal circumstances, the Episcopal Church might be expected to endof this century. provide assistance to its neighbor, but with natural concern about its own well being, there is probably a limit to what it can do. Episcopalians and other Angli­ cans will be watching the Anglican Church of Canada in the coming months. Hopefully, we will also be offering our prayers.

Unity of the Church Thanks to the determination of a forward-thinking Episcopal priest a century ago, churches now observe the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity. The Rev. Paul Wattson, co-founder of the Society of the Atonement , was a strong advo­ cate for reunion between the Episcopal and Roman Catholic churches, and rec­ ommended a "Church Unity Week" to be observed between the feasts of the Chair of St. Peter (Jan. 18) and the Conversion of St. Paul (Jan. 25). That week, later known as the "Church Unity Octave" and eventually as the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, was observed for the first time in 1908. Fr. Wattson and his fellow members of the Society of the Atonement were received into the Roman Catholic Church in 1909, but he continued to work for Christian unity. Since then this week has been observed in a wide variety of ways and to var­ ied degrees . Some Episcopalians and other Anglicans embrace the concept and others ignore it. In particular , the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity seems to be effective in small communities where it is usually easy to gather members of different churches together in some form of shared ministry. Whether it might be ecumenical worship, a joint outreach project, various youth endeavors, or simple fellowship, some communities find this week to be an appropriate opportunity to seek the unity of Christians . The theme of this year's Week of Prayer for Christian Unity is "Where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them" (Matt.18:20). Amid our efforts to do the will of our Lord, we would do well to remember there is more that unites us than divides us. May Jesus Christ be the source of our unity as we seek to be instruments of that which God desires for us.
