Confused signals to the Global South

[Anglican Coalition in Canada] 27 June 2007--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.
