As for Anglicanism, the last two weeks Deb and I have attended services at St. John’s Shaughnessy Church in Vancouver. It is a breakaway Anglican church. For the first time I’ve been to a regular Anglican service where the church was full to overflowing… they had to bring in extra seats once people couldn’t squeeze into the pews anymore. It’s not a small church either.
