Safe Church Concerns Trouble Montreal Bishop Election

 

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.

Australian experts prefer to take inspiration from Ontario rather than Quebec, which is said to have an education system almost as dysfunctional as theirs.

They found the Ontario model more than inspiring, with its free public schools, where there is no selection, and its private network not subsidized by the state.

In contrast, Quebec’s “three-tier” system (regular public, selective public and private) quickly emerged as the example not to follow, Greenwell explained in a telephone interview from Canberra.
