Welcome


The Anglican Church of Canada is a Christian church which is part of a world wide communion of churches historically derived from the Church of England. We are a historic catholic church whose foundation is the bible, the creeds, prayer, the sacraments, the liturgy of worship, the commandments, the Trinity and the four fold ministry of Bishop, Priest, Deacon and Laity. Anglicans use scripture, reason, tradition and experience to inform our beliefs and doctrines. Unlike other historic Christian denominations that define their doctrines in a confessional statement of belief, our tradition of belief is expressed through tradition as evidenced in what we pray in our services of worship as expressed in the Book of Common Prayer and the Book of Alternative Services. We recognize and support other faith communities and world religions, believe that there is only one God, one church and one baptism common to all Christians and invite people of all faiths to our fellowship and communion table. *Governance* The world wide Anglican communion is divided into autonomous nation churches presided over by the Archbishop of Canterbury. The instruments of unity for the world communion are the Archbishop of Canterbury who resides at Lambeth Palace in England; the Lambeth Conference, a gathering every 10 years of the all the bishops of the communion, the Anglican Consultative Council and its executive, made up of a Bishop, Priest and lay person from each nation of the communion. Each nation is divided into several ecclesiastical provinces or regions presided over by an archbishop called metropolitan and a provincial synod of delegates from each diocese. Each province is divided into several dioceses presided over by a Bishop, a Synod of delegates from each parish church in the diocese and a diocesan council with delegates from each of the deaneries in a diocese. (Deaneries comprise the churches from an area of the diocese roughly equivalent in size to a county in a province of Canada). *Where does All Saints’ fit in ?* All Saints’ Church is the metropolitan church in the heart of downtown Windsor at City Hall Square. As a metropolitan church we are host to a number of important events for the Windsor Civic and Arts community, such as City Hall, Windsor City Police, the Windsor Symphony, the Windsor Symphony Chorus and the Windsor Classic Chorale. We are an Anglican parish church in the deanery of Essex, in the Diocese of Huron, in the Ecclesiastical province of Ontario in the Anglican Church of Canada.
