www.insideHALTON.com · OAKVILLE BEAVER Friday, June 1, 2012 · 18 Settlement in Anglican Church court battle Three parishes of the Anglican Network in Canada, including Oakville's St. Hilda's, have reached a negotiated settlement with the Anglican Church of Canada's Diocese of Niagara, resolving a five-year legal dispute. The Diocese of Niagara had been pursuing legal action against the parishes of St. George's in Burlington, St. Hilda's in Oakville and the Church of Good Shepherd in St. Catharines -- and against individual leaders of the parishes -- after the three parishes voted to part ways with the Anglican Church of Canada's Diocese of Niagara in February 2008. The standoff had been years in the making and stemmed from the belief of many followers that the Anglican Church of Canada had lost touch with the true Anglican faith. The church's decision to bless same-sex marriage was cited by some as the last straw. The parishes' decision to break away led to a confrontation in court over whether the congregations could use their local churches. The settlement will be effective today (Friday) and entails the following, according to a release from the Anglican Network in Canada: · All three congregations turned over the keys to their long-time properties to the ACoC diocese today (June 1) · Guarantees neither party will initiate legal action against the other party · Agreement that each party will cover all its own legal fees · Each parish will retain specified worship, liturgical and memorial items, which had been donated by members over the years for parish ministry, or which are of importance to the parishes' ongoing ministry · A financial settlement that includes the repayment to one parish by the ACoC diocese of the cost of specific property improvements, as well as a division among the parties of the proceeds of the sale of one of the rectories "We are not naïve about the challenges of continuing our ministry in temporary rented facilities," said Patricia Decker, People's Warden at Good Shepherd. "I guess, in a way, we understand that we are giving up the building for the sake of Christ. It is a small sacrifice in light of what He gave up for us," said Decker in the release.
