I attended the Anglican Church regularly until 12 years ago when the changes became too much to bear. The Church has moved away from the truth of the Bible. I have heard priests preach that the resurrection never happened, that the Nativity was a myth. The Church has evolved into a social club, more concernrd with secular acceptance than Biblical truths. When I left, my family left also. I have many friends who also left the Church. Does the Anglican Cghurch care? Apparently not because my sort did not fit into the new left leaning secular mold the Church wishes to inhabit. It will be interesting to see what is left in 2019. How many more parishes will be extinct? How many more church buildings sold for apartments? The Anglican Church of Canada is collapsing at the base. Soon there will not be enough laity to support the teetering heirarchy. If you want to survive, return to your roots and embrace the Truth of the Gospel. And by the way Archbishop Hiltz, Jesus Christ is the same, yesterday, today, forever. Our Lord never grew from his encounter with the Syrophoenician woman. He taught her and she grew.
Hi Lorraine,
I don’t think the Anglican Church of Canada is going to collapse. There are many great Christ-centered churches that do embrace the Truth of the Gospel, and I’ve never heard a priest tell me the resurrection did not happen. I’m quite sorry that you’ve had experiences such as you’ve described.
I would like to know if you’ve found another church to worship in, which feeds and nourishes you in your faith journey.
