[Anglican Network in Canada] 17 Oct 2008--The congregation of St Bede’s Anglican Church in Kinosota, Manitoba voted overwhelmingly yesterday, October 15, to come under the episcopal oversight of Bishops Donald Harvey and Malcolm Harding of the Anglican Network in Canada (ANiC) and under the Primatial authority of Archbishop Gregory Venables of the Anglican Province of the Southern Cone.

St Bede’s is the 22nd parish and the 14th former Anglican Church of Canada parish to join ANiC this year. The official vote was 29 to 1 in favour of aligning with ANiC, with no abstentions. However, three members who arrived too late to vote openly declared their full support for realignment and the church wardens received letters from three other members unable to attend the meeting, expressing their support for the motion.
