- Notes
- "The letter by Jim Shepherd ['Time to change', June 2014, p. 3] made me very angry. I feel the Anglican Church of Canada has changed too much. I'm a cradle Anglican and I can remember when the traditional 'Book of Common Prayer' (BCP) was the norm for public worship and the Anglican Church of Canada was called the Church of England in Canada. I feel that a new Canadian BCP [would] result in the demise of the 1962 BCP". "Now that we are in communion with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada, how much of our Anglican heritage will be lost in this desire to change ? I also feel that changing the name of the Anglican Church of Canada to the Episcopal Church of Canada would make us lose our identity as Canadian Anglicans, since we belong to the Anglican Communion".
