St. Chad’s voted on February 17th , 2008, by a vote of 12 to 10, to
join the Anglican Network in Canada. Our current average Sunday
attendance is 20. We are one of 26 parishes across Canada (as of the
end of January 2009). Our bishop is the Right Reverend Donald Harvey,
and we are under the jurisdiction of the Anglican Province of the
Southern Cone, and Archbishop Gregory Venables.
As a member parish of the Anglican Network in Canada, St. Chad’s
embraces Anglican orthodoxy, and affirms the supreme authority of the
teaching of Holy Scripture as understood within the doctrinal
formularies of historical Anglicanism, specifically, the Book of
Common Prayer, the Thirty-nine Articles, the Ordinal and the Solemn
Declaration of 1893.
We believe in
- the triune nature of the one God, and the personal divinity of the
Lord Jesus Christ.
- the sinfulness of each and every person and the universal need of
salvation.
- the sinless life, atoning death, bodily resurrection and ascension,
heavenly reign and future return in glory of the Lord Jesus Christ.
- the essential realities of salvation encompassing the forgiveness of
sins through justification, regeneration and adoption into the
Father's family, union and communion with Jesus Christ and the
personal indwelling of the Holy Spirit, the practice of holiness,
moral transformation into the image of Christ, and the future
resurrection of the body for eternal life.
- the preaching of the Word of God, the fellowship of the church, the
ministry of the sacraments, and personal prayer – as the principal
means of God's grace.
