CANADA4 United, Anglican churches see closer ties

Tali Folkins staff writer Fresh out of a meeting in Toronto January 8 with Archbishop Fred Hiltz, primate of the Anglican Church of Canada—their first official meeting since her election last summer—the Rt. Rev. Jordan Cantwell was brimming with enthusiasm. “We could’ve talked for three times as long,” Cantwell, the new United Church of Canada (UCC) moderator said in an inter- view. The main topic of their conversation, Cantwell said, was the episcopé, the min- istry of oversight—“how that’s exercised in our different churches, and what would the path towards mutual recognition of ministries, or of full communion, or just of deeper union or deeper co-operation, look like…what are the barriers, what are the opportunities.” Earlier that day, Cantwell had preached a sermon at a special Epiphany service, featuring United Church hymns, in the national church offices’ chapel in Toronto. “You know, there was a bit of a lull after the discussions in the ’70s sort of fell apart, but it’s picking back up,” said Cantwell. “I 5Archbishop kind of changes might be needed in order Cantwell is gay, and her own life jour- for Indigenous congregations to have more ney has been intimately affected by church think we’re on an upswing in our ecumeni- Fred Hiltz and autonomy. positions on sexuality.

From the great West Door through the nave and into the quire; up to the high altar and the chair of Augustine of Canterbury; on to the shrine of Thomas Becket and into the Chapel of the Saints and Martyrs of Our Own Time, there are 45 steps.

3Angels play a prominent role, not only 4 in the Bible but in much Anglican liturgy. FOCUS But do most Anglicans believe in angels? Part one of a It’s not clear. photo: mstroz two-part series

A certain amount of angelic belief today, he says, also seems likely traceable to the New Age movement. What do most Anglicans believe? It’s not entirely clear. “I think you’re certainly going to get a wide range of opinions in Anglicanism— that’s par for the course for anything An- glican, I guess!” says the Rev. Christopher Snow, who served 11 years as rector at St. Michael and All Angels in St. John’s, Nfld., before his current role as rector of Grace Anglican Church in Milton, Ont. On the one hand, he says, “Protes- tants have trouble with intermediaries” between humans and God. At the same time, Snow notes, angels play a promi- nent role, not only in the Bible but in much Anglican liturgy. “Every Sunday, Anglicans gather at the Eucharist and we sing the angelic chorus—you know, the Angels attract Anglican Sanctus—“Holy, holy, holy”? Snow says. “We join with the angels and archangels as part of our eucharistic prayers.” Some Anglicans are probably “a bit devotees, skeptics skeptical,” Snow says, especially concern- ing angels as having any kind of physical By Tali Folkins lady” in her church, St. John the Evangelist; reality—which, he adds, however, actually staff writer she has spent years researching angels, and isn’t an essential aspect of belief in them. has chaplets—prayer beads—to Michael, Hannah Roberts In response to an Anglican Journal Raphael, Uriel and Gabriel, which she uses Brockow is a thera- Facebook post soliciting readers’ opinions in worship. peutic musician. on angels, one skeptic responded in two “I like to ask them to help me to pray,” She regularly visits words: “Magical thinking.” she says. “I like to ask them to help me do two palliative care Others seem less decided.
