Moncton, NB – The province of New Brunswick will see its first Anglican Network in Canada (ANiC) church when Christ the Redeemer Anglican Church holds its inaugural service in Moncton on Easter Sunday, April 4. This is also the first ANiC church in the Maritime provinces.
“We are delighted to welcome Christ the Redeemer Church into our growing family of Anglican Network in Canada parishes,” said the Right Reverend Charlie Masters, ANiC’s national director and suffragan bishop for Eastern Canada. “We are excited about working with this enthusiastic congregation as they minister in New Brunswick.”
The congregation will meet each Sunday at 10:30am in the Moncton Wesleyan Church building (2nd floor, Family Centre room), 945 St George Blvd, Moncton.
“It is very exciting to be part of this Gospel movement knowing that we are not only a member of the Gospel-centred Anglican Church in North America, but also in communion with the vast majority of active Anglicans worldwide,” said the Rev Don Hamilton, pastor of Christ the Redeemer Anglican Church.
In the coming weeks, Christ the Redeemer Anglican Church plans to open satellite churches in three other New Brunswick communities.Although details are still being worked out, satellite churches are expected to be established in or near: Saint John, Sussex and Miramichi.
The Anglican Network in Canada now numbers 36 parishes and eight forming congregations in North America – primarily in Canada – with more than 3500 in church on an average Sunday. Members of the Anglican Network in Canada are committed to remaining faithful to Holy Scripture and established Anglican doctrine and to ensuring that orthodox Canadian Anglicans are able to remain in full fellowship with their Anglican brothers and sisters outside North America.
ANiC is under the Episcopal authority of Bishop Donald Harvey and is one of 28 dioceses in the Anglican Church in North America which unites 100,000 faithful Anglicans in the over 800 churches across this continent.ANiC is also affiliated with South America’s Anglican Province of the Southern Cone, one of the 38 Anglican Churches in the worldwide Anglican Communion.
The Anglican Church in North America has been growing at a rate of three churches per week since its inception and has set itself the goal of planting 1000 new churches within five years – primarily through reaching unchurched North Americans with the life-transforming good news of Jesus Christ.
