ACC/APCK leaders meet in Victoria
Earlier this month, ACC Archbishop Mark Haverland met with leaders of other continuing Churches at the Congress of Traditional Anglicans in Victoria, British Columbia. The Congress was called with the intent of fostering communication and support among those who look to the Affirmation of St. Louis as a founding document. Archbishop Haverland, pictured above with the APCK's Archbishop James Provence, gave the keynote address, which can be read in full here.

Metropolitan’s Address to the Canadian Church Congress, Victoria, BC, 2011
We are not born Christian. We are made Christian, by baptism. I was made a Christian, the child of God and an inheritor of the kingdom of heaven, in an Episcopal church in Niles, Ohio, when I was three months old. I lived within the Church of my baptism until January 1, 1977, the effective date of decisions made by the 1976 Minneapolis General Convention.
By accepting a new liturgy radically different from any historic Book of Common Prayer the Episcopal Church proved itself to be sub-Anglican. By claiming authority to alter Holy Orders by the so-called ordination of women as priests, the Episcopal Church proved itself to be sub-Catholic. By adopting a pro-abortion policy the Episcopal Church proved itself indifferent to the natural law and to the lives of helpless unborn children.
From this bundle of erroneous decisions flows everything that has since happened in the Episcopal Church.
