And whatever Bp. Ingham may Regret™ after the Windsor Report admonition, he's still gung-ho...We'll say one thing: he's shameless, and remarkably proud of it! ... (vancouver.anglican.ca, LCGM)
1b) Seventh parish may bless same sex unions http://www.vancouver.anglican.ca/Portal/Default.aspx?tabid=1&mode=Story&StoryId=72 Last Updated: Wednesday 17 Nov, 2004, 09:33 PM A seventh parish within the Diocese of New Westminster will become a place where the unions of gay and lesbian couples may be blessed.
St. Hilda's, Sechelt, after a period of study voted 122 to 9 in favour at a Vestry (membership) meeting on November 14.
When Diocesan Synod voted to ask that same sex blessings be allowed in the diocese in 2002, it stipulated that they may only take place if the priest performing the blessing agrees in conscience to do so, and only in parishes that have voted to accept the practice.
The other six parishes that have decided to be places of blessing are Christ Church Cathedral, St. Mark's, St. Margaret's and St. Paul's in Vancouver; St. Laurence, Coquitlam; St. Agnes, North Vancouver(...)
2a) http://www.anglicanjournal.com/130/10/oped01.html A sorry state of affairs, Anglican Journal LEANNE LARMONDIN Sorry really does seem to be the hardest word. (...)Two men who have become lightning rods for the current controversy, Michael Ingham, diocesan bishop of New Westminster, and Frank Griswold, presiding bishop (primate) of ECUSA, quickly did what was asked of them: they expressed regret for the consequence of their actions, but not the actions themselves. "It was not our intention to cause dismay, but affirm the relationships of gay and lesbian people," said Bishop Ingham. Similarly, Bishop Griswold added, "We regret how difficult and painful actions of our church have been in many provinces of our communion, and the negative repercussions that have been felt by brother and sister Anglicans." The fact that Bishops Ingham and Griswold did not go further than they were asked has infuriated many who live their faith at the conservative end of the spectrum. They did not ask for forgiveness, they did not say they would repent. So, in the end, some ask, what is an "expression of regret" worth?(...) Both Bishop Griswold and Bishop Ingham, it is clear, felt they had nothing for which to apologize. The bishops, backed by much of the church in their jurisdictions, felt they were doing the right thing when they acted on decisions made in the course of due process at the diocesan synod or General Convention (synod) levels. It is futile to ask them to apologize for something they continue to believe was right, even though they could not have anticipated the fallout that has resulted(...)
2b) http://www.anglicanjournal.com/130/10/world01.html Africans will not apologize for interfering Primates call report's request 'offensive' MARITES N. SISON STAFF WRITER Calling it "offensive," African Anglican primates have dismissed a recommendation made by the Lambeth Commission that they apologize for having unilaterally provided pastoral care and oversight to conservative Anglican parishes and clergy opposed to the ordination of a gay bishop in New Hampshire and the authorization of same-sex blessings in the Vancouver-based diocese of New Westminster. "We reject the moral equivalence drawn between those who have initiated the crisis and those of us in the Global South who have responded to cries for help from beleaguered friends," said a statement issued by primates gathered at the first African Anglican Bishops' Conference (AABC) in Lagos, Nigeria, last Oct. 26 to Nov. 1. "To call on us to 'express regret' and reassert our commitment to the Communion is offensive in light of our earlier statements."(...) The Africans' statement also indicated that primates of the global south would disregard the commission's recommendation that they stop providing episcopal oversight to dissenting parishes outside their jurisdictions. (Two weeks before the release of the Windsor Report, Archbishop Peter Akinola, primate of the Church of Nigeria and chair of CAPA, announced plans to establish a non-geographic Nigerian diocese, independent of ECUSA, on American soil. Four* other primates are providing episcopal oversight to breakaway parishes in New Westminster.) "We note with approval the recognition that extraordinary episcopal care is needed for congregations alienated from their diocesan bishops," the primates said. "We remain convinced that the adequacy of that care should be determined by those who receive it." (...)In a press conference, Archbishop Akinola said that African primates were "united" in their opposition to the ordination of openly gay bishop Gene Robinson of New Hampshire and same-sex blessings in New Westminster(...) The Anglican primates' statement also called on ECUSA and the Anglican Church of Canada to repent and to "move beyond informal expressions of regret for the effect of their actions to a genuine change of heart and mind." Failure to do so would mean, "they have chosen to 'walk alone' and follow another religion," said the statement(...)

On Nov. 9, (Bishop Rodney Andrews) issued a pastoral letter apologizing to the choirs, the cathedral and to gays and lesbians who were hurt by his actions, saying he "made the decision before all the information had been given to me." He affirmed the cathedral's right to implement its rental policy and urged moderation and understanding among church members. Bishop Andrews also told the Journal that he has put Rev. Nathan Gough, rector of the River Valley Parish, on leave without permission to officiate after the priest sought alternate episcopal oversight from some Asian bishops as a protest against General Synod's decision to affirm the "integrity and sanctity" of homosexual relationships.
3a) http://anglicanjournal.com/130/07/canada13.html September 2004 Anglican Journal (2 Months ago) MARITES N. SISON STAFF WRITER (...)Retired bishop Bill Hockin* has resigned as episcopal visitor to conservative parishes in the diocese of New Westminster . "I had hoped I could be an agent for conciliation, but the conditions of alienation and fear did not allow that," he told the New Brunswick Anglican newspaper. "I told Bishop (Michael) Ingham that I would do it for a year and I did, but the distance was just too far and I was disappointed that only one parish took advantage of the offer of the services of the episcopal visitor."
3b) http://www.samesexblessing.info/Default.aspx?tabid=74 (Diocese of New Westminster Website, Topic) The Episcopal Visitor* (...)In May 2003 the bishop announced that he had appointed the Right Rev. William Hockin, Bishop of Fredericton, to serve as the Episcopal Visitor to the diocese as of November 1(...)Creating the Episcopal Visitor in the Diocese of New Westminster is a solution to the perceived need to minister to "dissenting minorities" similar to what has taken in the Church of England. As a national church, the Church of England in 1993 decided to create what became popularly known as "flying bishops." These episcopal visitors provide pastoral care to parishes opposed to the ordination and ministry of women priests. Like the Diocese of New Westminster arrangements, the episcopal duties performed by English episcopal visitors are "such episcopal duties as the diocesan bishop may request."
3c) http://www.acinw.org/media/background/faq2.pdf http://www.acinw.org/media/background/FAQ2.rtf (...)What about the Bishop's offer of a visiting conservative Bishop? That "Episcopal Visitor" would have none of the powers of a Bishop: he could not confirm, ordain, or perform any other function reserved to bishops. Current priests would remain totally under the authority of Bishop Michael, and the measurable is subject to his withdrawal at any time. The visitor's purpose would be to simply provide pastoral care, nothing more(...)
3d) http://www.acinw.org/articles/RespondstoEpiscopalVisitorAnnouncement.html May 13th 2004( 18 months later): Background On May 1st, 2003, the Bishop of New Westminster announced to the House of Bishops the appointment of an Episcopal Visitor to the Diocese of New Westminster, as a solution to minister to parishes that were "adversely affected" by the Diocese's June 2002 decision to proceed with the "marriage" of same-sex unions, officially repudiating the Lambeth Conference, the House of Bishops' Guidelines on Human Sexuality, and two thousand years of central Christian teaching.
1. The crisis in the Diocese is not one that the Episcopal Visitor is designed to address. The Diocese has repeatedly attempted to convince others that conservative consciences will be respected and conservative parishioners and clergy will be cared for pastorally. But ACiNW parishes have not asked to be comforted and consoled. We believe that our Bishop and Synod have broken spiritual communion with the wider Anglican church - a view shared by many Anglican leaders around the world. What we have asked for is to be back in spiritual communion with the church, under the oversight of a Bishop who respects, adheres to, and supports central and historical Anglican and Christian teaching.
2. The Episcopal Visitor will have no authority or powers normally provided to Bishops. Under the Episcopal Visitor, Bishop Ingham will still maintain control over all hirings, firings and human resources matters. This is unacceptable. Bishop Ingham has a long history of interfering in the hirings at orthodox parishes. He has de-licensed conservative clergy, and blocked some orthodox parishes from interviewing their preferred clergy candidates. The ACiNW parishes need a form of long-term protection on these matters that the Visitor cannot provide. Effective protection on these matters is key and vital to the continuous growth of the parishes and their ministry..
3. The Episcopal Visitor will end after one year. The Episcopal Visitor will remain based in Fredericton, under a one-year contract. The Diocese has made no assurances that the Visitor will be extended longer than its initial contract.
4. The conditions of the Episcopal Visitor require repayment of Diocese taxes. The Diocese has made it clear that parishes must be up-to-date in their Diocesan taxes in order to receive the Episcopal Visitor. Since many parishioners are asking their donations to be withheld from the Diocese, accepting the Visitor will immediately place ACiNW parishes in financial difficulty.
5. The Episcopal Visitor was rejected by the ACiNW one year ago. The measure of the Episcopal Visitor was proposed by the Bishop of New Westminster in May 2002, prior to the Synod decision permitting the marriage of same-sex unions. The eight parishes known as the Anglican Communion in New Westminster have repeatedly rejected the provision as inadequate. The fact that the Diocese has found a Visitor to fill the role does not make the measure more adequate. End

Bishop Hockin will be available to teach, preach, preside at worship and provide pastoral care for clergy and parishioners.
However David Short says the Episcopal Visitor will have no jurisdiction or control, and 'will be at the complete discretion and control of Bishop Ingham' and is therefore an unacceptable alternative.
"He is being used as a pawn to paste over the biblical and theological chasm that exists, the rupture in communion that followed from the decision to bless same-sex unions, and the united testimony of Scripture, tradition, the Lambeth Conference and even the stated position of the [Canadian] House of Bishops," he said(...)

Lesley Bentley, spokesperson for the ACiNW, said the group was disappointed that the house of bishops did not take Bishop Buckle's offer more seriously. "We were surprised Bishop Ingham named Bishop Hockin as visitor when he knew it was unacceptable to us." The ACiNW expressed disappointment with the bishops' meeting, "at which the house failed to positively address the rejection of its own guidelines by a single bishop on a matter of critical theological and pastoral importance.

Bishops agree on 'shared' ministry Revised plan accepted SOLANGE DE SANTIS, STAFF WRITER Saskatoon, Nov 2004 Bishops of the Anglican Church of Canada, at their regular fall meeting, cited a new spirit of reconciliation and co-operation among themselves and approved a plan that allows bishops to cross diocesan boundaries when parishes do not agree with the issue of same-sex blessings. "The house of bishops is saying to the Canadian church, 'We did something and we agreed.' And that is wonderful news," said Archbishop Andrew Hutchison, primate of the Canadian church and chair of the meeting. A number of bishops commented on the change in the group, mentioning the release of the Windsor Report on unity in the Anglican Communion as a factor and complimenting the warm leadership of Archbishop Hutchison, chairing his first bishops' meeting as primate since his election last May. "There's a different feeling at this meeting," said Bishop George Bruce of Ontario. The question of "alternate episcopal oversight," now called "shared episcopal ministry," had sharply divided the bishops at their spring meeting in Regina, where they were unable to reach a decision. This time, the gathering of 38 bishops, held Nov. 1-4, accepted a revised version of the plan rejected in the spring. The major points: o The metropolitans, or archbishops, of the Canadian church's four provinces may draw up a list of current and retired bishops, from various theological perspectives, who are willing to participate in shared episcopal ministry. Bishops from outside Canada may be included, but they must abide by these terms. A bishop chosen from the list by the parish and diocesan bishop would be designated as episcopal assistant to the metropolitan. o If a diocese agrees to permit the blessing of same-sex relationships, the synod should allow for a conscience clause and should consider shared episcopal ministry. The costs of a visiting bishop would be borne by the inviting diocese and parish. o The dissenting parish and rector should first meet with their bishop in a spirit of reconciliation. A parish may elect to have a visiting bishop after a two-thirds majority vote at a meeting of full members of the parish who have the right to be present and to vote at its annual meeting. o The parish retains its voice and vote at synod and must maintain its current and future financial commitments to the diocese. o The decision will be reviewed at least every three years. o The visiting bishop will not have jurisdiction in the diocese but would be part of the process on appointments, episcopal visits, confirmations, pastoral care of clergy, advice on potential ordinands, and may participate in ordinations. o If the parish is in the diocese of the metropolitan, the senior bishop by consecration would fulfill the role given to the metropolitan. o The arrangement is always to be understood as temporary. Changes in parish or diocesan leadership are appropriate times for renewed efforts toward the ultimate goal of full restoration of the relationship between the parish and the bishop. Two bishops voted against the document, for different reasons. Larry Robertson, suffragan (assistant) bishop of the Arctic, told Anglican Journal he believes the document "assumes and promotes" the blessing of same-sex unions and "I can't accept it." Keewatin 's David Ashdown said he is still uncomfortable with the concept of crossing diocesan lines(...)

The inhibition prohibited Bishop Buckle from engaging in any ministry in the Diocese of New Westminster. . Bishop Ingham's action came after Bishop Buckle wrote a letter in which he offered to serve as the bishop for parishes under the jurisdiction of Bishop Ingham, contrary to the canon law of the Anglican Church of Canada. Eight New Westminster congregations (out of 80) subsequently voted to take up Bishop Buckle's offer, but in November, faced with proceedings which could have led to his removal as a bishop in the Canadian Church, Bishop Buckle withdrew. Bishop Ingham said that he had a conversation with Bishop Buckle while a meeting of the Canadian House of Bishops was taking place in Saskatoon this month, and suggested that the two men come to a reconciliation. "He assured me of his intention to adhere to the canons and protocols of the Church with respect to diocesan boundaries and the jurisdiction of bishops," wrote Bishop Ingham in a letter to the Canadian bishops and his diocese. "Specifically, he declared his willingness to respect my jurisdiction as Bishop of New Westminster," he said(...)
4) http://www.anglicanjournal.com/130/10/canada11.html Calgary set to close three parishes MARITES N. SISON STAFF WRITER Three parishes in the diocese of Calgary are being disestablished next year because they have been "unable to maintain their viability and parochial status," according to diocesan bishop Barry Hollowell. A member of one of the parishes said the church was not consulted about the closings. In an e-mail to Anglican Journal, Bishop Hollowell denied reports that the soon-to-be closed parishes -- St. Gabriel's, St. Edmund's, and All Saints, all in the city of Calgary -- were not consulted about the decision and that they were caught off guard by it. "The executive committee of the diocese, acting on a report from the strategic planning committee, made the decision to disestablish the parishes based on a long standing inability to meet canonical requirements for parochial status," said the bishop. "While the parishes were not involved in the actual executive decision, they have had many opportunities over an extended period of time to work with the diocese and to contribute to a visioning process and the planning of mission and ministry in our diocese." Bishop Hollowell denied speculation that the three parishes -- which are predominantly conservative -- were being singled out. "The same criteria were used and equitably applied to each parish in the city of Calgary," he said. He said that the key indicators of parochial status include: fulfillment of financial obligations (including parish apportionment, clergy salary, and the ability to maintain parish buildings), annual reporting to synod office, electing delegates to synod and adherence to the tenets, goals, mission, canons and traditions of the diocese of Calgary and the Anglican Church of Canada. Bishop Hollowell announced the disestablishment of the parishes in a letter to members of the diocese dated Oct. 21. Rev. Dennis Frayne, rector of St. Gabriel's, declined to comment on Bishop Hollowell's decision. But a member of the parish, who refused to be identified, told the Journal that the announcement had come as a surprise and that parishioners were upset. The parishioner also hinted that the parish might take legal action against the diocese. "We can't talk because of legal implications," said the parishioner. Bishop Hollowell said he has met with the wardens and vestry of St. Gabriel's and the diocese will offer pastoral assistance and support to each of the affected parishes "as they move through this difficult transition." All Saints' rector, Rev. John Wright, was unavailable for comment. St. Edmund's has no priest. A diocesan task force on strategic planning, which was set up last March, determined that a "profound increase in population and shift in demographics" in Southern Alberta calls for a change in how the diocese should carry out its mission. "We have many examples of congregations or parishes established years ago, that no longer fit the local community's needs," the task force report said. On the other hand, it noted, "we also have emerging and growing communities where we have no local or adequate expression of our mission and ministry." Bishop Hollowell said if any of the church buildings are deemed surplus to the diocese, they will be sold with the funds split in half: one half at the discretion of the bishop and the final wardens of the disestablishing parish and the other, in the diocese's Church Development Fund, to be used under the discretion of the executive committee of the diocese(...)
5) http://www.suntimes.com/output/religion/cst-nws-rel19.html Synod OKs same-sex unions November 19, 2004, Chicago Sun Times, Illinois HAMILTON, Ontario -- A synod of the Anglican Church of Canada's Niagara Diocese voted 213-106 to authorize blessings for same-sex couples, but Bishop Ralph Spence withheld his required endorsement for the measure to go into effect. Bishop Michael Ingham approved same-sex blessings in the New Westminster (Vancouver area) Diocese in 2002, after the synod there approved the idea for a third time, causing an international uproar. The Toronto Diocese takes up the issue Nov. 27. Spence said he personally agreed with the majority but must be ''the bishop for all people'' and ''try to keep unity with the rest of the church.'' An emergency international Anglican panel said last month that bishops should not authorize such blessings. The top 38 leaders of world Anglicanism meet on this and related recommendations in February.

ORTHODOX LEADER URGES EVANGELICALS TO ROCK THE BOAT By David W. Virtue CHERRY HILL, NJ (11/21/2004)--A leader in the orthodox wing of the Episcopal Church says evangelical Episcopalians must stand together, build new networks and friendships and be prepared for whatever the worst revisionist bishops do and fight back.
Speaking at St. Bartholomew's Episcopal Church, Cherry Hill, on Sunday, Canon Martyn Minns, rector of the 2,500-strong Truro Church in Fairfax, Virginia said that unless ECUSA repents some sort of North American provincial realignment was "inevitable."(...)
While acknowledging the strong points in the Windsor Report such as the importance of the Communion and the "supreme authority of Scripture", Minns was nonetheless critical of the Report because it appeared to put most of the blame on the wrong people, those who cross diocesan boundaries, for the problems in the communion, when in fact it was those who chose to defy the Lambeth resolution on Human Sexuality overwhelmingly passed at Lambeth 1998.
"Sadly, while it is a valiant effort, the Windsor report appears to be an inadequate prescription for the disease of false doctrine, found in the Episcopal Church."
"If the Episcopal Church does not repent and change its ways it will walk alone," he told his audience of clergy and laity most of whom were drawn from mid and south New Jersey.
"ECUSA will have chosen to be out of the Anglican Communion."(...)
Minns said one of the issues that the report fails to acknowledge was the growing power of the Global South. The West sees that power threatened. He also questioned the whole notion of geographic borders. Parish boundaries no longer define our local congregations it is time to admit that we have to move away from limiting mission by geography. We are the temples of the Holy Spirit, the church is a people, it is not a place."(...)
