-- BRITISH COLUMBIA -- An Abbotsford Anglican congregation on Sunday became the second local congregation in a week to split from the diocese of Vancouver-area Bishop Michael Ingham in a nation-wide pattern reflecting fundamental rifts in the church.**********
About a dozen Canadian Anglican congregations are poised to hold similar votes, including two more in Vancouver, while two Ottawa churches voted to leave their diocese over the last week.
FROM THE COMMENTS:
"Come to think of it, that pretty much explains why I stopped going. I could get as much out of staying home on a Sunday morning and reading the Toronto Star editoral page as I could out of going to church."*
"Only, with the former, I could sleep in, have a leisurely breakfast, and yell my objections out loud."
