Clergy in six Lower Mainland Anglican Network in Canada (ANiC) churches… denied charges they have abandoned their ministry.
In February, Bishop Michael Ingham of the Anglican Church of Canada Diocese of New Westminster issued a “Notice of Presumption of Abandonment of the Exercise of the Ministry” to nine Anglican priests and two ordained deacons. These priests and deacons – including world renowned theologian, the Rev Dr J I Packer – all serve in churches where parishioners had voted to join the Anglican Network in Canada.
+Ingham is just full of presumption, as this along with his other actions in the ACC show his total disregard for Anglicans worldwide. He presumes too much… .
I would be more inclined to state that +Ingham is following the TEC party line as they seem to be abandoning the Anglican Communion and going down a dark road. I have to laugh (sadly perhaps) as the PB speaks of a “new thing” that is hundreds of years old and has whiskers many feet long.
