ACiC Press Release
June 26th 2007
Confused signals to the Global South
Winnipeg, Manitoba –The Anglican Coalition in Canada is disappointed but not surprised by the significant 'walking alone' shown by the Anglican Church of Canada (ACC) General Synod 2007. The writing seems to be on the wall, in terms of the direction that the ACC has chosen. We choose in the ACiC to compassionately hold in prayer those orthodox Anglicans who are still currently within the ACC, and are being traumatized by these decisions.
We remember well how difficult it was for us five years ago when many of us walked out from the Diocese of New Westminster Synod. We have discovered in our experiences as ACiC Churches that there is indeed a way forward. Our calling in Canada is to offer hope with gentleness and humility.
Direct oversight for the Anglican Coalition in Canada is provided by Bishop Sandy Greene, a missionary bishop of the Province of Rwanda and the Anglican Mission in the Americas, with the Rev. Barclay Mayo serving as the ACiC Network Leader. The Anglican Coalition in Canada is licensed by the Anglican Province of Rwanda, assisted by an advisory ACiC Primatial Council of five African and Asian Archbishops.
