The First ANiC ordination in the Ottawa region.

Well over 200 worshippers and wellwishers, including The Venerable Charlie Masters were witnesses to the historic event. In a message the next day Karen said, "The Holy Spirit was mightily present last night. I couldn't have wished for anything more. God has been so good to me!" Deacon Karen Bergenstein accepted the supremacy of Jesus in her life 8 1/2 years ago on an Alpha course, and has been following the long and bumpy road to ordination for several years now. She joins a small band of local priests including newly appointed Archdeacon Désirée Stedman, who preached at the ordination, who serve under the Anglican Network in Canada. See more pictures

An Anglican Network public meeting at 7:30 pm, Sunday 28 October
Ottawa Citizen report, by Alanna Toulin, 29 October 07.
The Anglican Network in Ottawa (ANiO) hosted a meeting organized by local lay leadership to discuss the implications to biblically faithful Anglicans of the recent Synod vote. Though the final decision rests with the Bishop, this meeting was necessary in view of the clear wishes of the majority at Synod. More than 70 people came to the meeting, including reporters from the Ottawa Citizen, and Crosstalk. Tony Copple outlined the nature of the problem we are in. Karen Bergenstein gave us hope for the future with a portrait of the way we expect things to unfold over the next few weeks and months. Many took the opportunity for questions and sharing of concerns.
Options under consideration include church planting to provide a local communion where refugees from liberal congregations would feel comfortable again. Brian Devisser shared his vision of what such a church might look like.
Location: Craft Room, McNabb Recreation Centre, 180 Percy St. off Gladstone. Map
---------------------------------
Wednesday evening services Where:Bethesda Renewal Centre, Ashton. See map.
A weekly service ran at Bethesda every Wednesday in August from 7:20 pm - 8:30.
This was lay-led, by Dave Kemp, with assistance from Tony & Laurie-Ann Copple.
We offered an addition to your Sunday worship in the peaceful surroundings of Bethesda.
The service was intended to minister primarily (but not only) to those who no longer feel comfortable in their own parish and wanted to spend time with likeminded folk in worship, prayer and teaching. The format was based on evening service, sometimes a short sermon, a time for open questions and discussion, and group prayer. Sample Tony's talk from 22 Aug.
Note that these services ceased after Labour Day.---------------------------------
