Fr. Don, I hear you. But the impression of what the implications of my ordination mean for me as I serve in a non-denominational church is a conversation that needs to happen with those above me. You, Bp. Ross and others can have that. I can rest in knowing that with the changes made above, I have my bishop's covering in this. I want St. George's to thrive and do not see our work as hurting yours in any way. No one who is new to our church is coming because they believe it to be an Anglican Church. So, blessings as you continue to call people to Christ.
The Communion Liturgy at New Life Downtown
Every once awhile, I am asked what our liturgy is at New Life Downtown. Our service flow (in general) can be found HERE. But the most 'liturgical' part of the service-- i.e. the part that uses the ancient prayers, practices and sequence-- is when we come to the Lord's Table. While I am an ordai...
Fr. Don,
There's loads I could say, but perhaps only one is necessary: we do not claim to be an Anglican Church. We do not claim to follow an entire Anglican liturgy. It is an ecumenical service that I, as both a non-denominational pastor and an Anglican priest, preside over and serve in.
So, your brand is safe. :)
Also, I will add that this has been helpful in spurring a great conversation with Bp. Ross and Rev. Steve Hoskins, and I will clarify both my language and my distinction between the absolution and the peace. (See above).
Now, shall we get on to other things? Surely you have people to care for and matters to attend to that are of more significance than this. After all, I wouldn't want you to use all your time on me. :)
The peace of the Lord.

John...thank you so much for sharing what you guys do. It's very helpful. The kind of contextual out working of this is what is hard to get from a study. And it's what pastors can contribute to the conversation.
Ted, wow...I didn't even consider that you might read this. Thank you for being kind and gracious. We too are adopting a simpler model. Your input is priceless given your experience. I agree with you in the shift you describe.
What Church Small Groups Do Best...And What They Don't.
As church leaders, many of us don't have the time to stop and reflect on what we're doing. And even if we did, our reflections are often not enough. We are too close to situations, too immersed in real time ministry, to properly evaluate it or to ask the right questions. We need perspective...
