| US Presiding Bishop Jefferts made a hobby out of suing her own bishops and congregations - using national church funds to do so. When she took away a church building, she closed it or sold it off to another denomination. Her successor seems to be no better. |

"Anglican Church of Canada Faces Financial Collapse

It is starting to look as though the Anglican Church of Canada, a church in denial for nearly two decades about the direction it has been going, is having to face the reality that it might face collapse as it looks to an uncertain financial future. Archbishop Fred Hiltz might well be the last Primate of the Anglican province.
It goes like this. You no longer believe the Bible is authoritative on issues like human sexuality, so you change your views to compete with the zeitgeist; you watch as your congregations age with no new young people coming along as they won't hear or read anything that is significantly different from their cell phone apps, Ipad news or twitter accounts. You watch as clergy age and retire with no heir apparent waiting in the wings to fill their pulpits. Then talk about things that are mostly irrelevant to the lives of average Canadians who are more concerned with house prices and what happens in the US. Congregations begin to shrink because of the uncertain sounds emanating from the pulpit. Parishes slowly wither and sooner or later, they close their doors. At this time of writing, the dioceses of Huron, Ontario and Quebec are most notably in free fall.
A priest in the Diocese of Quebec recently opined from his pulpit, "that without radical change, the Anglican Diocese of Quebec could soon be extinct." His is clearly not the only diocese.
The three horsemen of the Anglican apocalypse; interfaithery, sodomite marriage and focus on a plethora of social justice issues, coupled with a failure to preach an unerring gospel focusing on the reality of sin, salvation and judgement on clergy who fail to do so, is largely responsible.
As one Anglican columnist noted, "rather than "make disciples of all nations" the mission [of the ACoC] has become "observe similarities with all religions". Furthermore, promoting same sex marriage and participating in queer parades has not filled pews, and never will. The action of former Bishop of New Westminster, Michael Ingham to authorize the blessing of same-sex unions in 2002 was the down payment on the decline that ensued. By May 2003, six of the diocese's 76 parishes received authorization to use the rite, which was nothing more than a pyrrhic victory.
The Anglican Church of Canada is on a kamikaze mission of self-destruction, with its public mission to promote pansexuality and, by an unwritten agreement, to destroy its withering orthodox wing. A case in point was the announcement this week to expunge from its rolls an evangelical, former Bishop-Elect of Caledonia, the Rev. Jacob Worley. He was summarily fired by Archbishop John Privett, Metropolitan of the Province of BC & Yukon in a phone call and a letter for no stated reason. Worley has 10 days to leave the country. Worley's "sin" is that he was once associated with the Anglican Mission in America (AMiA), an unforgiveable heresy, according to the revisionist bishops of Canada. "
