Read the statements explaining the purpose of Forward in Faith. You will see that we already subscribe to the articles listed therein. Remember as you read these statements that they apply, not only to the ordination of women, but to the suspension of the Ordinal as well. It is a way of working within the structure to bring about needed change. T he information in the agreed statement on Communion may seem a bit daunting at first glance.
Acrimony is to be avoided at all cost.
O fficially, our parish has been aligned with Forward in Faith for nearly ten years. In the months to come we need to do some soul-searching and commit ourselves to reaffirm our association with Forward in Faith in witness to those principles of Anglicanism which we hold as a priori to our life as a Church. Bishop s Visitation B ishop Krotz made his canonical visitation on Sunday, July 30th. At that time he preached and confirmed two members of the parish, Don Carlson and Joanne Rust. We congratulate them as they reaffirm their faith in Christ Jesus as their Lord and Savior and take on their ministry in Christ s Holy Catholic Church.
