Primate speaks on Church unity

Archbishop Fred Hiltz, Primate of the Anglican Church of Canada, says that although he is saddened by the unnecessary decision made by a small number of parishes to leave the Anglican Church of Canada, the Canadian Church as a whole remains vibrant and united in its witness to the Gospel message.

Despite reports that emphasize division, the Primate says, the reality is that thousands of Anglicans continue to worship together ever week, even though they disagree over issues such as sexuality.

In a message to the church specially taped for the Web, Archbishop Hiltz speaks about the state of the Canadian church and asks Canadian Anglicans to pray that we may remain one.

His Grace has said something that needs to be said. The Anglican Church is no more in crisis than it ever has been. We are a church accustomed to living with serious and thoughtful disagreement while remaining in Eucharistic fellowship with one another. The defined doctrines of the Creeds are not under attack.
