Anglican Mainstream sends warm greetings and prayers to the Anglican Network in Canada and rejoice with you in celebrating the consecration of your new bishops. The brave biblical faithfulness of your Network as part of the Anglican Church of North America is an important witness in today's society to the loving purposes of God for the wholesomeness of society and family life, the supreme lordship of Jesus Christ and the reliability and authority of the Bible.
Dr Philip Giddings, Convenor

To Bishop Donald Harvey, and Bishops-elect Stephen Leung, Charlie Masters and Trevor Walters
On behalf of The Fellowship of Confessing Anglicans (UK and Ireland), we send warmest greetings and assurance of our prayers to you as new Canadian Bishops of the Anglican Church in North America. We were very privileged to welcome your Moderator Bishop Don Harvey in February to speak at a meeting at General Synod and your Archbishop, Bob Duncan to speak at our launch in London in July. We are delighted to be in fellowship and communion with you. We pray for your ministry and your communities as you witness in Canada to historic Anglican Christian faith, to the supreme Lordship of Jesus Christ and to the authority of the Holy Scriptures to bring God's truth, life and freedom to your people. May the Holy Spirit empower and strengthen you for the work to which he has called you.

Greetings from the Rt Rev Peter Forster, Bishop of Chester
Dear Bishop Donald,
I am writing to send my warmest fraternal greetings to you and your fellow members of ACNA, as you prepare for the consecration of the new Bishops on 13 November.
It is sad that it has become necessary for the ACNA to operate as a separate ecclesial entity from TEC and the Anglican Church of Canada. We pray for reconciliation, but that will only be achieved on the solid foundations of Christian orthodoxy, for which ACNA so clearly stands.
Please convey my fraternal greetings to the new Bishops, and to everyone who gathers for the Service of Consecration.
Best wishes,
+Peter
Greetings from the Rt Rev Keith Sinclair, Bishop of Birkenhead
Greetings to you, Bishop Donald as those gathered at the Synod at St Catherine, Ontario and especially to Charles, Trevor and Stephen, to be consecrated as Bishops in the Church of God.
Thank you for your witness to the Gospel and your willingness to know the fellowship of Christ’s suffering in these days.
May you know the power of his resurrection.
May you be filled with all joy and peace in believing and may you flourish in hope as you contend for the faith once delivered to the saints.
Keith Sinclair
Bishop of Birkenhead
