Battle brewing as congregation leaves diocese

[The Record.com] 1 Oct 2008--A congregation in Windsor is breaking away from the Anglican Church of Canada's Huron Diocese, which includes churches in Waterloo Region. And a court battle over church ownership may be looming.

In a meeting on Sunday, 109 congregation members of St. Aidan's Anglican Church voted unanimously to leave the national church and join a theologically traditional group called the Anglican Network in Canada, said Rev. Tom Carman, rector of St. Aidan's.

"We see an erosion of the orthodox, or historic, Christian faith within our Anglican Church of Canada," Carman said. He said the parting of ways happened after more than a year of discussion among congregants.
