New Westminster, J I Packer and The Anglican Church of Canada

[Fulcrum] 3 Feb 2008--The Diocese of New Westminster, which in many ways initiated the current crisis in the Communion by approving and then permitting the blessing of same-sex unions, is once again back in the news. This is due to its treatment of one of the great elder statesmen of Anglican evangelicalism – J.I. Packer. The bishop of the diocese, Michael Ingham, has written a letter to Professor Packer which has been widely reported online (eg here) and described as threatening to suspend him from ministry.
