Encouraging news from the Diocese of Athabasca

On behalf of the Federation Council, a letter has been sent to Archbishop John Clarke and his Diocese of Athabasca, expressing our thanks and appreciation to them for the resolutions passed at their recent Synod. This news can be found in full on the Diocese of Athabasca website

This news is very encouraging! It would be good to hear more news like this from other dioceses.

Resolution # 2008-16 - BE IT RESOLVED that the Diocese of Athabasca reaffirm and uphold its foundational theology as expressed in The Solemn Declaration of 1893 as complete and accurate in every part, and consequently,
That this synod repudiates those actions of the Anglican Church of Canada and its constituent parts which are contrary to the Solemn Declaration in any way;
That this synod affirms and encourages the stand of those who have declared a like understanding of Anglican theology as expressed in the Solemn Declaration;
That this synod directs the Secretary of Synod to memorialize Council of General Synod of this motion.

Resolution # 2008-11 - BE IT RESOLVED that the Synod of the Diocese of Athabasca inform the parishes and the bishops who have joined the Anglican Network in Canada and the Province of the Southern Cone that we are in full communion with them.

Resolution # 2008-12 - BE IT RESOLVED that the Synod of the Diocese of Athabasca express its dismay that bishops of dioceses have resorted to secular courts when parishes within those dioceses have found it necessary to align themselves with the Anglican Network in Canada and the Province of the Southern Cone.

Some important motions regarding abortion also passed.
