[The Livin g Church] 16 Feb 2008--One of the largest congregations in the Anglican Church of Canada voted overwhelmingly to leave the Diocese of New Westminster and affiliate with the Anglican Church of the Southern Cone at a parish meeting Feb. 13.

More than 97 percent of members at St. John’s Church, which claims more than 2,000 members in Vancouver’s Shaughnessy neighborhood, voted to leave, according to the National Post of Canada. St. John’s has an assessed value of $12.5 million, according to the Post, which noted that the parish also owns adjacent property worth $1.1 million and two rectories worth a combined $2.6 million.
