More accurately a rota of clergy returns. But will this effort in Keeping up Appearances actually convince anyone that anything other than an elaborate
sham is taking place?
From here:
ACoC Worship Returns to St. John’s Shaughnessy SEPTEMBER 25th, 2011
The Venerable John Stephens, Archdeacon of Vancouver has arranged a rota of clergy to conduct Sunday services and musicians to lead the music in worship beginning Sunday, September 25th at 11am with a Celebration of Holy Communion.
The Venerable Andrew Pike a former curate of St. John’s will lead the worship, September 25th, October 2nd and October 9th.
I remember the first day. Our family had been members of St. Phillips near Dunbar. I was told we were changing churches and that the youth programme at this new spot was really happening. Before ever attending a service I was introduced to the youth leader, Sean Love and the rest of the teens. It was like I was on the sinking Titanic of high school and there was a something to keep my head above the freezing water.
I will never forget the friends and fellowship found at St. John’s. I admire this church for their integrity. It will be a truly sad day when its walls see the wrecking ball. But, of course, on the third day he will rise again.
