Anglican Realignment Videos


Here is a great set of YouTube videos explaining the current situation facing the world-wide Anglican communion, and specifically the Diocese of New Westminster (the Vancouver, BC. area). Here's a handy collection of links to the videos. The videos are in 10 parts: parts 1-5 and 10 are an interview with Rev David Short, Rector of St. John's Shaughnessy, a congregation which recently voted to separate from the local Diocese and to align itself with an alternative pastoral oversight; parts 6-9 are an interview with Dr. J.I. Packer, famous evangelical theologian. I found the discussions with Rev Short to be very informative concerning the current situation, especially from an historical and political perspective, whereas the discussions with Dr. Packer are more basic and theological. If you attend an Anglican/Episcopal church, or have any interest in global Christianity, this is an important issue, and I recommend that you watch all these videos.
