An Anglican congregation in Vancouver is abandoning a historic church…after losing a court case spawned by divisions within the church over same sex marriages.
The St. John’s congregation says it’s giving up the Granville Street church, which it’s used for almost 100 years, and moving its Sunday services to another location.
As someone who lived in Vancouver from 1982-1984 let me say that it is more than a little distressing that CP doesn’t know the city’s geography better than this article indicates.
Rev. Harmon, are you referring to the “downtown” reference? I know you’re technically correct, but as someone who occasionally drives through Vancouver on the way to/from the ferry (avoiding stopping if I possibly can), the area seems pretty downtown to me.
