Welcome
Here is a message from the pastor of a church near us:
Dear Shabir,
It is with horror and sadness that we wake up today after a terrible incident of violence against Muslims in Canada.
On behalf of the leadership of St. Anne's Church, I want to assure you
and the people of the Dawah Centre of our prayers: for the victims, for
justice, and for the ways God calls us to act for justice.
The
rapport and friendship we have been building between our congregation at
St. Anne's and your congregation will not waver. We will continue, and
indeed make special effort, to publicly declare the cooperation and love
that is growing up between our communities. We stand with you as your
friends, as a sign of how God works in our world.
In peace and friendship,
Gary --

WHAT ARE THOSE MUSLIM BUFFOONS
DOING IN THE ABOVE PHOTOGRAPH?
HOLY SHIT! ROYALIST christIANS
TRYING TO CON MUSLIM
INTELLECTUAL MONSANTO PEASANTS
AGAIN!
We
(the Royalists!) invite you to worship with
our inclusive
and fully accessible
neighbourhood-minded
community.
Come and be part of what we do (Mind Control) at St.
Anne's:
Bringing the Community together (christian?)
for Good.
We believe (based on what?) God wants a church that cares
unselfishly for the good of all (christIANS?).
That's the church we are striving to be -
in
our Sunday morning worship especially, but also through a full calendar
of opportunities to learn, experience the arts (?), enjoy the world of
nature as God's creation committed to our care. (Monsanto and Nuclear Irradiated Nature? To the care of christIANS?)
We are committed to
serving and caring for those in need in our community. This
great building is where we engage our neighbourhood and bring our
community together. Our ministry
team is here for you and always ready
to encourage you to
discover the ways God is calling you (?).

The Rev. Gary van der Meer, Pastor & Incumbent
I'm really interested in the role our church can play in the
health of the whole neighbourhood. I support the interlocking
contributions of so many neighbourhood organizations, each of us doing
our part in partnership and face-to-face friendship. Meet me for an
Americano at one of our great local coffee spots, and let's talk (Really?).
-
- Do you
like to read? (Censored stuff)
-
- I always have books on the go, and I'd love to hear what
you're reading.
-
- My favourite authors these days: Miroslav Volf, Rabbi
Jonathan Sacks, René Girard, and Walter Brueggemann. (Are they all christIANS?)
-
- I especially enjoy
young adult fiction, and that's the section of the bookstore where you
will find me browsing. My next vacation novel is ...

Shauna Cairns Gundy, Pastoral Assistant
At St. Anne's, my focus is on
pastoral care and visiting. I am committed to affirming the ministry
of seniors, and to involving them in our community. In our midweek
worship services, we encourage everyone to take part in readings,
discussion and prayers. We also include worship at the conclusion of
the monthly Community Dinner (Kosher? Oy Vey!). I invite you to pull up a chair as we
pray for each other and share communion (Communion with what, who?). Raising our children, my
husband Michael and I have enjoyed many spontaneous conversations
exploring “faith and what it’s all about.” I want to encourage the
conversations that help you in your journey of discovery and faith. I
love the strong sense of caring community at St ...

The Rev. Canon David Neelands, Honorary Assistant
In my ministry, in general, I care a lot about getting a clear and
attractive message out about the gospel (Which ones? Which Versions? Which Denominations?), and I find that this gets
renewed all the time. I am amazed at how I find my experience to be one
of proclamation and response. Most of my community involvements are
through church -- I am a pretty churchy person (Jesus was not CHURCHY at all! He did not have churches, but small ecclesia!). My passions are books
and music -- all kinds of books (All kinds, REALLY?), especially fiction that deals with
character in a humourous way. (Oy Vey! Like CHARLIE HEBDO?) My favourite writer at the moment is
David Foster Wallace. My favourite opera right now is Philip Glass's
Satyagraha*.(Holy Shit!) I love the people and the energy of St. Anne's. It is a
welcoming, honest (?), and interesting group of ...

John-Luke Addison, Director of Music
As Director of Music at St. Anne’s, I am able to share my passion with
the (christIAN?) community by guiding the musical culture of the church. I say
‘guide’ as I am merely the facilitator for all things music at St.
Anne’s, as everyone contributes musically each Sunday, even by raising
their voices during their favourite hymns. My goal is to nurture the
musical gifts of the church community and produce the finest music
possible to praise God. (Yea, MUSICAL christIANITY!) I would love to chat with you if you feel you
would like to be involved with the music program, whether singing in the
choir (no pedophiles?), playing an instrument, or anything else. The choir is not
exclusively for those who can read ...

Mary Lou Harrison, Parish Administrator
As the Parish Administrator (christIAN?), I lead the administration and
communications for St. Anne’s. I enjoy the amazing energy and creativity
of the people in our St. Anne’s community (?). I appreciate the deep
respect here for the continuity of past, present and future. You will
hear my voice if you call the church, and I look forward to greeting you
when you visit. Mary Lou is a communications specialist, with
extensive experience with local newspapers (Corporate Presstitutes?) and volunteer organizations
(Bogus Charities?) as an editor and writer. Her academic background is in Canadian
history (Real or fake?), and German Language and Literature (Beth Din Imprimatur?). She is passionate about
social justice issues (Based on Statutory or Common Law?). She is a member of the Diocesan HIV/AIDS Network (Linked with the LHBT?),
and has a special interest in environmental ... (With Judaic Grand Patrons?)
