Diocese of New Westminster Opposes Appeal to Canadian Supreme Court

The Diocese of New Westminster today asked the Supreme Court of Canada to bring an end to a lawsuit brought by the Anglican Network in Canada (ANiC) that has dragged on since September of 2008.

In a Brief filed with the Court today, it is asking that the court decline to hear the Appeal initiated by ANiC so the Anglican Church in the Vancouver area can stop spending money on lawyers and devote more resources to ministry for its people and those in need.

    Perhaps Rowan Williams will appoint Michael Ingham to ARCIC next.

    #1,

    He doesn’t share the faith and order of the vast majority of Anglicans. Therefore, he is the perfect candidate. Oh, wait–we already have a Canadian bishop who permits same sex blessings.

    Maybe we need an American who doesn’t share the faith and order of the vast majority of Anglicans. Oh, wait, we already have one.

    I give up.

  3. Martin Reynolds says:

    Micheal was ordained and worked here, in the UK, some people’s strange logic these days would mean he is still to be considered ours ……

    But, of course, Pageantmaster – the ACoC is not amongst those provinces who are presently excluded from Communion Committees ….

  4. Ian+ says:

    We are not yet excluded by virtue of our talent for dithering.

    “Micheal was ordained and worked here, in the UK, some people’s strange logic these days would mean he is still to be considered ours ……”
    England’s loss, I’m sure. A man who believes very little of the gospel or historic Christology, to judge by ‘Mansions of the Spirit’. The intellectual and spirtual pygmy whose diocese is fast disappearing, and who presumed to expel Jim Packer from the ministry. A wolf in the sheepfold.
