Just when I had reached a nadir of despair at the plight of Anglicanism in Canada, I stumbled across this and was electrified by a frisson of excitement; the Canadian Anglican Church is alive and well:

Anglican tea and plant sale
Jean Comstock, right, identifies a couple of plants at the Anglican/Lutheran annual tea, bake sale and plant sale May 25 at the church hall. Audrey Egger, left, was manning the plant tables, and Georgie Anderson, centre, is trying to choose some plants. Plants for the sale came from local gardens.
Lynne Maynard reports that the annual Anglican/Lutheran tea, bake sale and plant sale was a huge success, with almost $1,000 raised.

Shirley Hawk won the cake raffle, which she donated for re-selling, and Nana Joumblat purchased it for promotion for Sweet Queen.

Ed Maynard’s cream puffs were in high demand.
