The Bishop of Brandon in the Anglican Church of Canada, the Right Reverend Jim Njegovan, sent letters on 16 October 2008 to the Rev Paul Crossland and the Rev Ann Crossland, rector and honourary assistant rector of the Anglican Network in Canada (ANiC) parishes of Church of the Resurrection (Brandon) and Church of the Redeemer (Dauphin), purporting to “inhibit” them (prevent them from ministering as priests). Bishop Njegovan implies in his letters that, since he was not informed that Paul and Ann had relinquished their Anglican Church of Canada licences, they had no right to minister “within the bounds of this Diocese” ”“ that is western Manitoba.
Well, they can do what they want, but if they are in another provence or communion or denomination, there is nothing they can do. Unless they want to start religious wars and stop them by violence.
The continuance of the application of the Schori Principle and its corollaries. Ah, how the Canadians depend on the Yanks.
We’ll just have to wait a little longer to hear about the letters he sends to Roman Catholics telling them that they may not minister within his jurisdiction…
3, I can’t wait!
What’s he going to do, call the police and have them locked up for disobeying him?
Must be an ‘idiot Wind” blowing through the Plains.

Prairies, intecessor, we have Prairies. 😉
Personally I’m waiting for +Jim to get a letter from across the Tiber inhibiting him!

Aw come on – The Roman church tried to butt Luther and it didn’t work out so well then either. All that is going to happen is more and more churches and Dioceses will jump from TEC to the Anglican Communion as the TEC slides downhill.
