The Revs Josh Wilton & Andy Withrow Priested by Bishop Sandy Greene


North Vancouver, BC
Sept 8th 2008

Congratulations are in order to the Revs Josh Wilton and Andy Withrow who were priested by Bishop Sandy Greene, the Anglican Coalition in Canada Bishop. The ACiC is a integral part of the Anglican Mission in the Americas, the North American missionary arm of the Anglican Church of Rwanda.


Both close to completing their Master of Divinity degrees at Regent College (Anglican Studies Program), Josh+ has spent the past almost four years interning at St. Simon's North Vancouver as the Newcomer Pastor, with a focus on the Alpha Course and a Young Adult Group called 'The Gathering'. Andy+ has been interning at St Timothy's Church North Vancouver, led by the Rev Ken Bell, the former 14-year-long Youth Pastor at St. Simons' North Vancouver.

















Josh+ and Andy+ announced that they will be planting a new ACiC congregation in Victoria, BC. This church will have a strong Common Cause Partnership focus, co-operating with existing orthodox Anglican congregations St Mary's Open Gate (Anglican Network in Canada) and Church of our Lord (Reformed Episcopal Church).
