Illuminating Orthodoxy
In Canadian Anglicanism
The Anglican Communion Alliance is a national organization representing Canadian Anglicans, coast to coast to coast. We have grown out of the grassroots response of Anglicans to the crisis that has been developing in our church over the past 50 years.
The ACA endeavors to be a rallying place for faithful Canadian Anglicans who want to see the Anglican Church of Canada embrace and live by the principles of its own constitution as set forth in the Solemn Declaration of 1893, and clarified in the Montreal Declaration of Anglican Essentials of 1994. We are striving to assist the efforts of all Anglicans in this country who wish to see their church remain in full membership with the global Anglican Communion. To that end, we support the Anglican Covenant and urge our church to endorse it and pattern our relationships with other Anglicans by it.
While being organizationally separate from the orthodox in other Anglican jurisdictions in Canada, we continue in informal fellowship with them in the cause of the Gospel while addressing the specific situation within our own Anglican Church of Canada.

CANADIANS HAVE UNTIL JAN. 27th to respond to this survey on expanding eligibility in Canada for MAID (Medical Assistance in Dying).
Using the official term here, but "MAID" is a euphemism for "assisted suicide."
"It seems likely that the government will introduce a bill to expand access to MAID and to remove certain safeguards." One such safeguard is that death be "reasonably foreseeable." Removing that stipulation could lead to expanding access to people whose only medical condition is psychological illness.

The government is asking Canadians their views on safeguards for medical assistance in dying (MAID). Whether Canadians support safeguards or not will have an impact on what the government includes in new legislation on MAID, which is expected very soon.Tribute: Duke Vipperman 1950-2020
