    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.

    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.
