Our parishioners were deeply distressed by the damaging effect the arrangement had on the life and ministry of our congregations. The congregations have experienced much hostility from members of the diocese, particularly since our votes, and they go to church on Sundays for healing and restoration, not to be confronted by conflict and hostility. We are also deeply concerned about the disruption to the community ministries and mission work and those who have benefited from these ministries. We will be consulting with our leadership and congregations to determine the best way forward in light of this decision.” In all three instances, the Diocese maintains highly suitable alternative sites within the immediate vicinity of the contested parish buildings.]<br /></span><span style="color:#ffffff;"></span><br /><span style="color:#ffffff;">Please pray for God's comfort, protection and guidance for these faithful Anglicans.</span><br /><br /><span style="color:#3366ff;">Holy Scripture</span><br /><br /><span style="color:#ffffff;">I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty.
