Archbishop Kwashi on the violence in Jos

“Brethren: be fully assured that our faith in Christ is intact, and shall remain so in life and in death. We have a gospel to proclaim, a gospel that brings light in darkness, hope in despair, courage in danger, and joy in sorrow.”

– At Christianity Today, Archbishop Benjamin Kwashi talks about the violence in Jos, reminds us who is really behind it, requests your prayers, and re-states his trust in Christ. (Photo: Church of Nigeria.)

Closing churches on Vancouver Island in ‘transformation’

From the Report (PDF) of the Diocesan Transformation Team of the Diocese of British Columbia –

“Our Bishop’s creation of the Diocesan Ministry Resources Team (DMRT) in 2004 was his response to the fact that the Anglican Church is failing to reach the majority of people on these islands in life-changing ways; that we are failing to fulfill Christ’s ‘Great Commission’ to all his disciples. The reasons for this failure are many and complex.”

The Anglican Essentials Canada blog has news reports on the Diocese’s plans for Vancouver Island.
