  • Considerations and Directions to the Clergy Regarding Marriage As Your
    Considerations and Directions to the Clergy Regarding Marriage As your Bishop, I want to challenge you to reach out and engage people with God’s way of life—and especially now by celebrating marriage as God envisions it. To do so at this moment in our life together, I have worked with my Assisting Bishop, Frank Lyons, to develop these considerations and directions, which follow. Considerations The recent Supreme Court Decision regarding same-sex unions once again brings into focus the two ways: life or death. Following God’s way leads to life. Following our own selfish desires can lead only to death. While there is still time we must engage the culture and proclaim the way of life. Did you know that 85% of marriages in the United States occur within a religious context? Many people are searching for that religious context. Will we be ready to greet them with God’s claim for their lives? Do we challenge folks about their view of marriage? Society has changed its definition of “marriage” for the worse and has received Supreme Court recognition. But we the Church continue to proclaim God’s ordered prescription for humanity and the Grace of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Both ADOTS and the Anglican Church in North America are quite clear about our position on Holy Matrimony. Please review the ACNA College of Bishops Statement and resources. Now is the time. Biblical teaching, studies and sermons on Marriage to instruct and prepare all our people, young and old, is a must. It is important to review the following directions with our consistories and our congregations.

  • Reflections on Canterbury
    Office of the Diocesan Bishop The Right Reverend Charles Masters Box 1013 · Burlington · ON L7R 4L8 · Canada 29 January 2016 Reflections on Canterbury - Two weeks after Ever since I returned from Canterbury, arriving home Monday, January 18, I have been praying about and wanting to share with all of you in the Diocese a bit more information and some further reflections. My main goal is to thank all of you for your incredible prayer for the Primates, their families and the Provinces they each represented, and for all of us who were involved in these historic meetings. It was obvious to all that there was an incredible blanket of prayer covering all aspects of our time. Having that certainty in the midst of the times of tension and worry provided the rock solid conviction that the Lord Jesus was in charge, that he was hearing prayer, and that he was working to build his church. It was quite a week. Thank you for praying! The first thing that I want to say is that the week, January 11 to 16, was truly an extraordinary time. Expectations for this meeting hosted by the Archbishop of Canterbury at the Canterbury Cathedral, where all the primates stayed at the Canterbury Lodge, were through the roof. Before heading to Canterbury, a friend and fellow bishop who loves history suggested that these meetings might be the most significant since the Council of Whitby – which was quite a while ago (664 AD). The future of the Anglican Communion, if there is to be one, seemed in everyone's mind to be at stake.

  • The Anglican Church in North America
    About the Anglican Church in North America Theological Foundations The Anglican Church in North America affirms the Jerusalem Declaration (2008), and the Fundamental Declarations of the Constitution state the Church’s clear commitment to the uniqueness of Jesus Christ, the authority of Holy Scripture, and the historic faith of the Church declared in the three Catholic Creeds. The Church is determined to maintain the doctrine, discipline, and worship of Christ as the Anglican Way has received them. The Vision, Mission, and Work The Vision: “Reaching North America with the Transforming Love of Jesus Christ” The Mission of the Province is to extend the Kingdom of God by so presenting Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit that people everywhere will come to put their trust in God through Him, know Him as Savior and serve Him as Lord in the fellowship of the Church. The chief agents of this mission to extend the Kingdom of God are the people of God. The Work of the Province is to equip each member of the Province so that they may reconcile the world to Christ, plant new congregations, and make disciples of all nations; baptizing them in the Name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything commanded by Jesus Christ. The Province will seek to represent orthodox North American Anglicans in the councils of the Anglican Communion. (Article III, Constitution and Canons of the Anglican Church in North America) Membership and Attendance The Anglican Church in North America is composed of 1,004 churches in 30 dioceses spread across Canada, the United States, and Mexico.

    The Mid-South Flyer Spring 2017 A Publication of the Mid-South Chapter of the Railway & Locomotive Historical Society, Inc Spring Meeting Boyhood memories of a special steam engine Back in the day, most young boys developed a fascination for trains from playing with their first toy train set, or in more recent times, from watching Thomas the Tank Engine on TV. But in the case of MidSouth member Warren Jones, a childhood infatuation for a certain steam engine ignited a life-long love for trains, and steam engines in particular. That special steam engine was Gainesville Midland #301, a 2-8-0 Consolidation-type locomotive built in 1920 by Baldwin Locomotive Works. No. 301 was a familiar sight Gainesville Midland #301 around Warren’s childhood home in Gainesville, Georgia, where the railroad literally ran through his back yard. Warren recounts growing up in a railroad family and his love affair with the Gainesville Midland in an article ap- pearing in Good Old Days Magazine. He will reprise his story with personal anecdotes and photographs at the next meeting of the MidSouth Chapter on Saturday, April 22, at 2 PM in the historic Leeds Depot. The following article excerpts provide a preview of Warren’s presentation. “The year was 1952 in Gainesville, Georgia. I was ten years old, and the location was a small Southern Railroad section house with the Gainesville Midland Railroad New Holland branch forming the boundary of the back yard, a short stone’s throw from the house. The house faced the Southern double track mainline, a long stone’s throw away.
