Welcome
Welcome to my personal Website.
Everyone has to have one, it seems, and now, so do I!
Actually, it’s kind of awesome. And scary. It’s kind of like ascending to the pulpit to preach for the first time. I remember it well, a little country church just north of Winnipeg. Every expectant eye on me. What was I going to say? I still have that sermon. It is perhaps the only one worth keeping! It is certainly the only one I ever typed out in full.
In a sermon, at least you have the text on which to focus your attention and to act as control upon your thoughts. A website can go in any direction it wants! This one goes in several all at once.
First of all, you will find the complete text of a much needed revision of my 1998 book, “Two Religions, One Church: Division and Destiny in the Anglican Church of Canada”. The new book is available here for free downloading. I also include a number of links to articles that I consider to be of relevance to the situation in the Anglican Church of Canada.
This revision is now (2026) a little dated, but the facts and the reasoning remain the same. In fact, my predictions have mostly come true with the recent distancing of most of the members of the Anglican Communion from the established Anglican churches in the West. It is still a work in progress, but it is both sad and necessary for the preservation and proclamation of the Gospel with an Anglican flavour.
Not unexpectedly, perhaps, I have also severed my own affiliation with the Anglican Church of Canada and joined the Anglican Church of North America. I am joyfully assisting with a church plant, Immanuel Winnipeg, in the city where I now live. I remain committed to the Anglican Way as first established by the English Reformers and I would describe myself as an evangelical Anglican in the tradition represented by J. I. Packer and John R. W. Stott.
You will also find a link to my other major book: “In the Bosom of Abraham: How Three Ancient Promises Embrace the Biblical Story”. The book is published by Wipf and Stock and is available on Amazon.ca and, possibly (and more cheaply) from me personally if you live in Winnipeg. It is a great way for anyone to get to know the Old Testament as a connected Story. I am currently at work on Part Two, which covers the rest of the Bible. What an adventure it has turned out to be!
Beyond these books you will find links to my Blog “Lection Connection”. The blog summarizes and shows the common themes in the Revised Common Lectionary Scriptures for each Sunday.
It is all intended for the good of the Kingdom of God. I trust you will find it so.
Yours in Christ,
George
