Continuing Anglicanism

Wikipedia has modified their page on Continuing Anglicanism and it makes for rather interesting reading:

The Continuing Anglican movement encompasses a number of Christian churches in various countries that profess Anglicanism while remaining outside the Anglican Communion. These churches generally believe that “traditional” forms of Anglican faith and worship have been unacceptably revised or abandoned within some Anglican Communion churches in recent decades. They claim, therefore, that they are “continuing” or preserving Anglicanism’s line of Apostolic Succession as well as historic Anglican belief and practice.

The modern “Continuing” movement principally dates to the 1977 Congress of St. Louis in the United States, at which meeting participants rejected the ordination of women and the changes that had been made in the Episcopal Church’s Book of Common Prayer.

Bishop Chandler Holder Jones, please would you be so good as to put up a post covering Bishop James Randall Hiles’s recent Consecration on your blog (like you did on Sunday with Bishop Owen Rhys Williams), so that I can report on it by reposting from your blog and thereby avoid linking to the Anglican Church in America (TAC) Diocese of the Northeast website? (I’m not allowed to link to the ACA.)

For those of you who can’t wait,  all you have to do is Google your way to the above mentioned website where you will find a report (freely available) on the event with some great photos as well. It seems to have been a most blessed day.

BTW. this is still a busy and well read blog.

With most of our faithful readers residing in America… The land of the free.

 

Ordination of Fr Gordon Barnier

At the St Monica’s Cathedral Cairns (last week).  I was sent and asked to share a media link that covers the Ordination. There are pictures and you can listen to the service as well.

To do so, go here.

A mp3 of the service is here (to save, right click).

The Episcopal Consecration of Owen Rhys Williams

Bishop Chandler Holder Jones reports on it on his BLOG. Not me. So I suppose that makes it okay to repost?!

The Consecration of the Very Reverend Owen Rhys Williams to Bishop Suffragan of the Diocese of the Northeast in the Anglican Church of America took place on the Feast of Saint Mark the Evangelist, Thursday, April 25th 2013 at Trinity Anglican Church Pro-Cathedral, Rochester, New Hampshire…

The Anglican Catholic

Clearly understanding (unlike some ecclesiastical blogophobes out there) the full value and tremendous potential of blogs, since having left the Traditional Anglican Communion for the Anglican Catholic Church, Fr Anthony Chadwick has started up a new blog simply entitled: The Anglican Catholic.

From the about page:

This blog is inspired by my previous and present experience of blogging and is intended to be a direct organ of communication of the Church to which I belong as a priest. My personal blog enables me to express myself more freely whilst upholding my promises as a cleric of this Church. This blog is designed to supplement existing organs of information such as the Church’s official websites…

Besides Fr Chadwick, the other contributors presently listed are Deacon Jonathan Munn and Fr Ed Bakker.

 

Fr Gordon Barnier to be Ordained in Australian Ordinariate

Fr Gordon Barnier is the former Vicar General of the Church of Torres Strait (TAC).

On the Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of the Southern Cross website:

Gordon Barnier of the Church of the Torres Strait will be ordained to serve in the Ordinariate of OLSC. He will be ordained deacon , probably in St Francis Xavier’s Church, West Cairns at 7-00 pm on Wednesday 24th April and ordained priest in St Monica’s Cathedral at 7-00 pm on Friday April 26th. Both ordinations will be conducted by the Most Rev James Foley, Bishop of Cairns.

[HT:  Psallite Sapienter]

UPDATE:  Photos and recording of the Ordination service here.

All this while the Anglican ambassador to the Vatican, Australian Canon David Richardson, a former dean of St Paul’s Cathedral in Melbourne, recently held that the Australian Ordinariate will ‘not last more than 20 years’.

You can read about that one in The Canberra Times.
