  • Collectivité
  • 1861-

Following the arrival of a missionary, the Rev. A.D. Pringle, subscribers were solicited to gather funds for a church in Hope. Bishop George Hills laid the Corner Stone on July 9, 1861; and the completed building was consecrated on November 1, 1861. The parish celebrated the 125th Anniversary of its completion in 1986. While not built by the Royal Engineers, The Engineers offered their expertise and influenced its interior design. In 1958 the church was in need of major repairs and the Royal Canadian Engineers' Trades training Squadron stepped in with help and advice. The flags of both the English and Canadian groups are displayed in the church. In 1955, the building was recognized as of national historic and architectural significance by the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada. This designation was commemorated with a plaque. Mr. Pringle returned to England in 1864, after which the parish was served from Yale (1884-1921 and 1948-1971), with the clergyman holding services at Hope initially on irregular basis. For several years (1921-1924), the parish was served by ministers from other parishes - St. Thomas, Chilliwack, St. John, Sardis - and faculty and students from the Anglican Theological College. It was part of the Fraser-Cheam Area Parish from 1971 - 1986, following which it has been served by part-time Priest-in-Charge.

  • Collectivité
  • 1907-

Early Protestant activity in the South Vancouver or North Arm area began on an ecumenical basis in the form of a Union church which was built in the late 1870's on the south side of the North Arm of the Fraser River. By the 1890's Anglicans were being served from St. James' Parish and in 1894 St. Luke's Church (contemporary sources call it St. Mary's) opened as the first Anglican church in South Vancouver. From 1896 to 1907, St. Luke's was included in a variety of arrangements. It was served from St. Michael's from 1896 to 1900, then paired with St. John the Evangelist, North Vancouver until 1901, then attached to the newly created Howe Sound Mission (Squamish and Gibsons Landing) until 1905, and then paired again with St. Michael's. The parish received the first incumbent of their own in 1907. In 1991 St. Luke's Parish merged with the parish of the Church of the Good Shepherd, Vancouver. In the late 1990's the parish began to worship with St. Matthias, Vancouver thus creating the parish of St. Matthias & St. Luke, though the parishes did not formally merge.

Synod of the Diocese of New Westminster

  • Collectivité
  • 1879-

In 1879, the original (1859) Anglican Diocese of British Columbia was divided into three "sees" (bishoprics, dioceses): The Bishopric of British Columbia, The Bishopric of Caledonia and The Bishopric of New Westminster. The Bishopric or the Diocese of New Westminster consisted of the southern mainland of the civil province of British Columbia. It has been divided again twice: in 1899 with the creation of the Diocese of Kootenay and in 1914 with the creation of the Diocese of Cariboo. Since 1914 its boundaries have included the Lower Mainland, the Fraser Valley up to and including Yale, the Sunshine Coast and Howe Sound area. The original See city was New Westminster with Holy Trinity Church constituted as the Cathedral in 1892. By the 1910's the Bishop and Synod administration had moved to Vancouver. In 1929 Christ Church in Vancouver was constituted the Cathedral of the Diocese. The Synod of the Diocese of New Westminster convened for the first time on April 18, 1882. The Constitution of the Synod was adopted at the conference held for this purpose. The attendees decided the following: the name and the composition of the Synod; the appointment and maintenance of the clergy; the tenure and management of church property; the formation and constitution of parishes; and the regulations for offices of the church. In 1893, an "Act to Incorporate the Anglican Synod of the Diocese of New Westminster" was passed by the Legislative Assembly of the civil province of British Columbia permitting the incorporation of the Diocese of New Westminster as a Corporation Sole. The Anglican Synod of the Diocese of New Westminster Incorporation Act, 1893 (the;"Act") established the boundaries of the diocese, the right of Synod to deal with real and/or personal property, to invest funds and to borrow money, to adopt, alter, amend or annul the Constitution, Canons, and Rules of order of the diocese. Diocesan parishes can also incorporate under this act. The "Act" was last amended by the Legislative Assembly of the province of British Columbia in 1961. Currently, the Act is included with the most recent printing of the Constitution, Canons and Rules of Order (1998). The Constitution, Canons and Rules of order are undergoing periodical amendments as circumstances require. The Canons of the diocese are the ecclesiastical laws by which it is governed. Canons must be authorized by a resolution that is carried at Synod and sanctioned by the Bishop. They can be changed, amended, deleted and/or added to only by the Synod and the Bishop. Regulations provide detailed information relating to various diocesan procedures. Rules of Order are detailed procedures for the proper management of meetings of sessions of Diocesan Synod.

St. John the Divine Parish (Central Park, Burnaby, B.C.)

  • A-333

  • 1903-2009

The building of the inter-urban between Vancouver and New Westminster led to increased settlement along its route. One of the results of this settlement was a desire, by the people, for a church. A Church of England mission, the first church mission of any denomination in Burnaby, was established and grant monies from the diocese in place for a January 1, 1899 beginning. The Rev. A.J. Greer initially held services in private homes until the original St. John's was built on the south side of Westminster Road [now Kingsway] to serve the Central Park and Burnaby Lake areas. This original church, which was actually built within the boundaries of Central Park, was destroyed by fire in 1904. A second church was built on the north side of the street, in 1906, where the parish continued to worship until 1999. Over the years, facilities expanded with a parish hall and bowling alley added. In the 1950's the church building was re-oriented on its site and expanded with the addition of a crypt. During the 1980's St. John's property was considered as a possible site for a Diocesan Centre. While deliberations were underway, St. John's parishioners were hampered as they tried to realistically consider future ministry in buildings and at a location that were no longer suitable for parish purposes. Ultimately, the Diocesan Centre was not developed. The Parish was the first in the diocese to make use of the suggestions in the "Spencer Commission Report" and with the Ministry and Congregational Development Committee as a guide, the diocese and St. John's renovated the old St. Andrew's, Broadview church building (unused for six years). On March 21, 1999 a Service of Thanksgiving for 100 years of Anglican ministry on Kingsway was held as the last service in the old building. On March 24, 1999, the Parish, with Bishop Michael Ingham celebrated a Service of Consecration for the newly reopened building at 3426 Smith Avenue.
