St. Chad Toronto West welcomes the four new congregations that have joined the Anglican Network in Canada (bringing now a total of twenty-three churches). We know how difficult it has been for these brothers and sisters in Christ to see the Anglican Church of Canada walking a different path from the global Anglican community. We welcome the bravery they have displayed in remaining steadfast to traditional Anglican teaching. We welcome all who have taken this step, and encourage all those who have similar doubts to join with us.

Thousands of people from across Canada have joined the Anglican Network in Canada as the Anglican Church of Canada drifts away in its liberalization, leaving not only orthodox Canadian Anglicans who recognize the authority of Scripture, but also the global Anglican community.

The Archbishop of Canterbury at the 2008 Lambeth Conference upheld Resolution 1.10, which had been approved 526 to 70 at the previous Lambeth of 1998. This scripturally based resolution articulates the traditional teaching of the Anglican Church on sexual behaviour. The liberalization of sexual mores of the Anglican Church of Canada is a departure from orthodox biblical teaching, and is but a symptom of a church which is caving in to today’s permissive society.

We, like many other traditional Anglicans, have chosen to walk with the majority of Anglicans worldwide.
