[your.sydneyanglicans.net] 15 Feb 2008--Retired Sydney bishop Ken Short says the strength of the vote to break with the Anglican Church in Canada by the Vancouver congregation led by his son, the Rev David Short (pictured), will encourage other congregations considering a similar move.

“I understand from David that there are 13 other parishes in Canada who are poised to take this position at their vestry meetings and the fact that 98 per cent have voted so strongly at St John’s, is a very strong encouragement for them,” says Bishop Short, who has been in phone contact with his son since the groundbreaking vote.
