Father Lee Kenyon said his parishioners at St. John’s are not leaving out of anger.
“We didn’t vote to leave the Anglican Church of Canada, we voted to accept the invitation of the Pope,” said Kenyon, who will be ordained as a Catholic priest despite being married with two children.
Many elements of the conversion must still be negotiated — including what will happen to the century-old church, which still belongs to the Anglican diocese.
I remember Fr. Lee Kenyon. He was one of four participants in the outstanding Anglo-Catholic Blog “Anglican Wanderings”. It featured stunning pictures from Anglo-Catholic churches and cathedrals all over the place, together with news and information, all conveyed with lightness, friendliness and with gentle humor. One of the best things I did was to stumble across it one day.
These are some of the wonderful people we are losing – not only traditional, but educated, educative, and a great asset to the Church. What a tragedy.
