- Notes
- The Rev. James C. Barlow has come to Iqaluit from St. Francis Church, Estes Park, Colorado, which is part of the Traditional Anglican Church. TAC is not in communion with the Anglican Church of Canada. "Normally clergy who come from a church not incommunion with the Canadian church would be expected to be ordained in Canada, since the receiving church would not recognize the validity of their orders. However, Mr. Barlow was ordained in 1992 in the Philippine Independent Church, which is in communion with the Anglican Communion. Mr. Barlow, who is 55, grew up in Wisconsin and has previously worked in Canada, serving as rector of St. Timothy's parish in Rigolet, Labrador from 1995 to 1997". Mr. Barlow was chosen after a phone interview. Bishop Larry Robertson said that Mr. Barlow's "work with a church outside the Communion was a concern. 'That made us nervous,' said Bishop Robertson. 'He had to sign a statement that he would be obedient to his bishop and to the Anglican Church of Canada. I was quite emphatic that he knew what he was getting into'." "As a dean without a cathedral building [which burned down in November 2005], Mr. Barlow faces the challenge of participating in a $6-million fundraising drive to rebuild which he is meeting with optimism." "He is currently engaged in developing the cathedral parish's soup kitchen, thrift shop and bookstore, a project that will benefit the growing territorial capital and will be supported by $1.3 million of federal funds, he said".
