Congregations seek protection from bishop

[Religious Intelligence] 20 Sep 2008--Four traditionalist congregations in Vancouver have sought court protection from Bishop Michael Ingham (pictured) and the Diocese of New Westminster, asking the British Columbia Supreme Court to adjudicate who controls their parish properties.

On Aug 26 the diocese ended the Lambeth Conference ceasefire in Canada, and attempted to dismiss the wardens and parochial council of St. Matthew’s in Abbotsford and St Matthias & St Luke’s in Vancouver, following their February decision to quit the diocese for the Anglican Network in Canada (ANiC).

The diocese sought to institute its own wardens and attempt to regain “control of the parishes,” it said in a press statement.
