From here:
The historic All Saints Anglican Church in Sandy Hill has been sold, and will gradually be developed as a mixed-use building for meetings, weddings and neighbourhood-scale businesses.
The Gothic Revival church on Laurier Avenue between Chapel Street and Blackburn Avenue was listed for sale at $1.7 million. The purchase price hasn’t been disclosed.
What makes this interesting is that, in 2011, the Diocese of Ottawa moved the congregation of All Saints into St. Alban’s, a church which had been vacated by an ANiC congregation as part of a negotiated settlement with the Diocese of Ottawa. The diocese, having ejected the ANiC congregation, were eager to create the impression that they had a use for St. Alban’s, so they announced:
This has left All Saints without a viable congregation, so it has been sold.
The faux-new St. Alban’s congregation takes pride in not defining doctrine in a single confession, in encompassing a diversity of views – other than the diverse view that Christians who set a high value on a diversity of views have lost the thread – and in – Pride.
Here are a few of them, along with their rector, in the Ottawa Pride March:
Seeing as they are so enamored with everything homosexual perhaps during the de-consecration ceremony they could play a song by the rock group Queen. “Another One Bites the Dust” would be appropriate.
