    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.

    Honourable Ron Chisholm Minister of Fisheries and Aquaculture P.O. Box 2223 Halifax, NS B3J 3C4 January 9th, 2009 Dear Minister Chisholm, In June 2008, your Government announced its commitment to develop a Sustainable Coastal Development Strategy by 2010. We commend the government for taking on this significant initiative. We would like to be formally involved, in a consultative capacity, in the development of the Sustainable Coastal Development Strategy. We are requesting a meeting to discuss mechanisms whereby our input can be formally included in the process. The undersigned organizations support the development and implementation of a Sustainable Coastal Development strategy. Specifically, we expect the Strategy will address the following pressing coastal issues: deteriorating coastal water quality, the destruction of coastal ecosystems and habitats, the loss of marine biodiversity, protection of traditional fisheries, maintaining coastal access, and the vulnerability of our coastal areas to climate change. There is a pressing need for clearer, integrated governance and effective planning that involves the residents of coastal communities. An effective Coastal Development Strategy must result in action on the problems facing our coast. Given the sensitivity of Nova Scotia’s coasts to climate change impacts such as sea level rise, storm surges and accelerated erosion, the province should work with municipalities to reduce the vulnerability of our coastal communities to climate change. Secondly, we expect the Strategy to include federal-provincial-municipal cooperation and coordination on comprehensive land-use planning that addresses coastal issues through use of tools such as zoning, set-backs and the establishment of coastal marine protected areas within consistently applied and enforced regulations.
