- Notes
- "The Anglican Church of Canada and the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada (ELCIC) have decided to postpone the date of their next Joint Assembly in 2022. When the national governing bodies of both churches met together for the first time in 2013, they agreed in principle to hold a second Joint Assembly in 2019. In a joint statement released February 2 [2017], ELCIC National Bishop Susan Johnson and Archbishop Fred Hiltz, primate of the Anglican Church of Canada, say organizers from both churches have been working to put the plan in place, with Vancouver chosen as host city. However, Hiltz and Johnson say they now foresee a number of challenges standing in the way of a 2019 Joint Assembly -- including insufficiencies of money and of time, given the busy agendas expected for both General Synod and the ELCIC's National Convention, and the difficulty of finding appropriate meeting places" (p. 1, 15).
