ANGLICANS in the Diocese of New Westminster are scheduled to go to court May 23 in a case that could determine the shape of Canadian Anglicanism.

At stake is the ownership of four church buildings, but the case could set a precedent that would affect the ownership of other church buildings across Canada, Anglican and otherwise.

Please remember them in your prayers.

From Anson in Vancouver:

After 6 years of getting ready for this, the time has finally come.
These 6 years have not been a waste of time, because God has slowly done some work in our hearts.
In those heartfelt words and tearful prayers, I can see the deep convictions and faith of our parishioners.
It is more than a protest against something, it is a journey of discipleship and carrying the cross.
Today I feel how liberating it is when we are willing to give everything up, including our money, assets, title, rights, years of hard work, and even the sentiments that come with it…. giving it all up for the Gospel, for the sake of being obedient and faithful to God.
