In November, the Board of Via Lethbridge formed a diocesan discernment committee of two board members, two staff members, and four laity responsible for discerning and recommending a new diocesan home to the Board. After many months of volunteer hours spent in prayerful discernment, meetings, and research of diocesan documents, the committee and Board met with the Church last night to share their decision. Below is the news post found on Via Lethbridge's website.
"Following a period of prayerful discernment for our diocesan home, we are excited to share the news that Via Church Lethbridge has applied to join the Anglican Network in Canada.
The Diocesan Discernment Committee was unanimous in its recommendation, and the Board was unanimous in its decision.
If you would like to learn more about the process, reasons for the discernment, and the ways the Holy Spirit led us, you can find the Committee's Report to the Congregation at the link below."
