Archbishop Kolini Offers Support
From Archbishop Emmanuel Kolini of Rwanda:17 September 2008

News is circulating around the United State and the Anglican Communion that the Episcopal Church's House of Bishops is likely to depose the Rt. Rev. Duncan, Bishop of Pittsburgh, this week at a special meeting. I have known and worked with Bishop Duncan for a number of years, and I know him to be a godly man.

As he faces this time of trial, I encourage him to remember that he is not being deposed by God, but only by man. He will remain very much a part of the new work that God is creating within Anglicanism. In addition, he and his family will remain in my thoughts and prayers, and I am confident that the Lord will bless Bishop Duncan in this new season of ministry.I am reminded of Joseph's words to his brothers that are recorded in Genesis. <> (Genesis 50 : 20a, New King James Version).

May this also be true for Bishop Duncan as he continues his faithful service to God and the Church.Most Reverend Emmanuel KoliniArchbishop of the Province of the Anglican Church of Rwanda

Googling God

2008-09-11T18:02:00.000-07:00

Book Review

“Googling God” by Rev. John Cox

Googling God examines not so much what we believe but rather why we believe it. Through the telling of personal stories and observations John explores why we believe the things we do about God, Jesus Christ and the Christian faith. He sets Christianity apart from other faiths and worldviews and argues Christianity has a compelling perspective through which we can understand the world. It is not an apologetic in the classical sense but it does give a defence for the faith in a way that speaks clearly to this generation of both seekers and believers. In essence the focus is on discovering a personal relationship with Jesus and being unafraid to ask hard questions along the way.

John also offers a valuable critique of the church and why we are often ineffective at reaching the current generation by making our story compelling and provocative.

This is a very helpful book for anyone who wants to get a better grip on understanding why we believe what we believe about God and why it is significant. More information is available at http://www.googleforgod.com/

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).

Pacific Coast Anglican Awakening: first steps

2008-03-08T07:32:00.000-08:00

Pacific Coast Anglican Awakening: first steps

There is a stirring among many Anglicans who are seeking to work together with other faithful Anglicans of many jurisdictions. On Sunday March 2nd 2008, over 460 Anglicans gathered from BC and Washington to express our John 17 unity in Christ for the sake of Mission. We give thanks for the forty-four clergy, including six bishops and one archbishop who were part of this celebration.

Kenya Bishop Bill Murdoch, New England Network Dean, preached on the relevance of John 17 in bringing healing to our fragmented Anglican witness. There was a powerful time of repentance that God released among His people that night.

On Monday March 3rd, the Anglican clergy and key lay leaders gathered to work further on how we might strengthen our ‘Common Cause’ commitment. The Rev. William Beasley, Midwest AMiA Network leader, commented: “we as clergy cannot hold anything against each other, or we will hurt the laity.” There was an encouragement to move from the language of ‘they and us’ to ‘we’.

Through prayer, listening, and repentance, there was a strong sense that God is binding together faithful Anglicans in BC and Washington for Kingdom purposes.
