As the Anglican Diocese of Montreal plans to elect a new bishop May 3, it faces doubts expressed by 39 of 158 delegates. Their concerns include pressures apparently brought against the search committee, resignations from the search committee, and a murky system for church safety.
“Ongoing uncertainty surrounding the election of our next bishop … has left many people feeling hurt, confused, and unheard,” 39 delegates wrote to diocesan authorities on April 6.
They also requested more information about the “external pressures”
described by members of the search committee, nearly half of whom
resigned before submitting their final report, as well an enumeration of
the committee’s concerns about diocesan canons and safe church
policies.
