not designated to supersede but to be used alongside the 1962 prayer book it is a more thoroughgoing modernizing of canadian anglican liturgies containing considerable borrowings from lutheran church of england american episcopal and post second vatican council roman rite catholic service books it was received with general enthusiasm and in practice has largely supplanted the book of common prayer although the bcp remains the official liturgy of the church in canada the preference for the bas among many parishes and clergy has been countered by the founding of the prayer book society of canada which seeks to promote the understanding and use of the bcp as a spiritual system of nurture for life in christ the tension between adherents of the bcp and advocates of the bas has contributed to a sense of disaffection within the church there have been increasing calls for revision of the book of alternative services those who use the bas have cited various shortcomings as it ages and newer liturgies are produced elsewhere in the communion at the 2007 general synod a resolution was passed which will begin the process of revising the modern language liturgies hymnody is an important aspect of worship in anglicanism and the acc is no different there is no one hymnal required to be used although the acc has produced four successive authorized versions since 1908 the most recent common praise was published in 1998 anglican plainsong is represented in the new hymnal as well as in the older canadian psalter published in 1963 notable canadian anglican hymnists include derek holman gordon light herbert o driscoll and healey willan for a time beginning in the early 1970s many anglican congregations experimented with the hymn book produced jointly with the united church of canada under the direction of canadian composer f r c clarke but both churches have since abandoned the common hymnal like most churches of the anglican communion the acc was beset by intense conflict over the ritualism controversies of the latter 19th century leading in some extreme cases to schism throughout much of the 20th century parishes and to a certain extent dioceses or regions were more or less divided between high church anglo catholic low church evangelical and broad church middle of the road many of these designations have become muted with time as the passions which fired the

portal v t e as is the case in churches directly influenced by anglican ethos and theology the acc tends to reflect the dominant social and cultural strains of the nation in which it finds itself for most of its history the acc embodied the conservative colonial outlook of its mostly british descended parishioners and of english canada as a whole in the post world war ii period as the character of canada changed so too did the attitudes of people in the pews and by extension the church ordination of women and remarriage of divorced persons edit in recent years the acc has been a leading progressive force within the anglican communion in the 1970s the then primate ted scott argued at the lambeth conference in favour of women s ordination the acc ordained its first woman as a priest in 1976 and its first woman as a bishop in 1993 many parishes particularly in the west and even more particularly on aboriginal reserves were already served by women deacons and allowing them to be ordained priests regularized their situation and permitted a regular sacramental ministry to be available in the parishes they served nonetheless this change in concert with such moves as allowing the remarriage of divorced persons caused strains among more conservative parishes both anglo catholic and evangelical in the early 1970s some members of the acc left to join breakaway anglican groups such as the small anglican catholic church of canada life issues edit the acc has taken a moderate anti abortion stance in the past the official policy is that abortion is always the taking of a human life and in our view should never be done except for serious therapeutic reasons 51 in 1989 the acc stated that in the light of the government s announcement of a new abortion bill the anglican church reaffirms its position that both the rights and needs of women and the rights and needs of the unborn require protection 51 the acc has not released any official statement on abortion since then the acc also firmly opposes euthanasia and assisted suicide 52 marriage edit main article homosexuality and the anglican church of canada in 2002 the synod of the diocese of new westminster located in vancouver and the south west of british columbia voted to permit the blessing of same sex unions by parishes requesting episcopal authorization to do so 53 since then another ten dioceses edmonton nova scotia and prince edward island winnipeg based rupert s land ottawa 54 toronto london based huron 55 quebec hamilton based niagara 56 montreal and victoria based british columbia 57 have followed suit the anglican parishes of the central interior formerly the diocese of cariboo and now known as the territory of the people 58 also permit such rites 59 on 30 september 2012 the bishop of saskatoon ordained as deacon a person who is civilly married to a person of the same sex 60 also in 2012 the diocese of montreal ordained two openly gay and partnered men to the priesthood 61 in 2016 a proposal to change the marriage canon to include same sex marriage received 2 3 in favour in all three houses and was passed 62 63 the dioceses of niagara and ottawa both of which already allowed blessing rites announced after the 2016 vote that they would immediately allow same sex marriages 64 65 the diocese of toronto has specifically allowed churches to perform same sex marriages as of mid november 2016 when archbishop colin johnson issued the pastoral guidelines for same sex marriages in brief the guidelines stated that such marriages could proceed in the church at the pastoral discretion of the bishop and with the agreement of local clergy 66 67 also in 2016 the diocese elected the first openly gay and partnered bishop 68 the general synod held the second reading of a motion to approve same sex marriage on 12 july 2019 69 in spite of support by the laity and clergy the motion did not pass because it was not supported by a full two thirds of the bishops at the same general synod a resolution called a word to the church was approved that recognised that a diocese may choose to perform same sex marriages 70 71 72 73 indian residential schools edit further information canadian residential school system during the 19th century the federal crown delegated the operation of indian residential schools to the acc and roman catholic religious orders with some minimal involvement by the methodist and presbyterian churches of canada as well in the 1980s numerous tort claims were brought by former students of such schools against both the crown and church organizations in respect of abuse by church personnel in such institutions and to a lesser extent in respect of a perception that such schools had been insensitive to issues of preservation of aboriginal culture and identity the claims were ultimately comprehensively settled but the damage to the morale of the acc has yet to be entirely resolved the diocese of cariboo was obliged to declare bankruptcy and was liquidated its successor is the territory of the people called the anglican parishes of the central interior until 2016 with episcopal oversight by a suffragan bishop to the metropolitan of bc its now unofficial cathedral of st paul in kamloops continues to be deemed a cathedral its rector being styled very reverend as a dean 74 the diocese of qu appelle and the general synod of the acc were in considerable danger of the same fate until settlement of the claims was reached on a national basis michael peers primate 1986 2004 took a major role on behalf of the acc with respect to reaching a settlement with the federal crown which was the defendant of the first instance and which counter claimed against the acc and roman catholic religious orders he offered the acc s apology to aboriginal people and delayed his retirement until 2004 when his successor could come to the primacy with the issue also retired in january 2007 the acc announced the appointment of mark
