The Anglican Mission
The Light of Christ Church in Nanaimo is affiliated with the Anglican Mission in Canada. The Anglican Mission is a missionary society "focused on raising up vibrant and authentic follower of Jesus Christ through organic congregations and a lifestyle of Christ-likeness." With roots in the worldwide Anglican Communion, this Mission receives its oversight and accountability via its College of Consultors, Archbishop Kolini, Primate of Rwanda in 2000 and Archbishop Yong, Primate of South East Asia in 2000. Also included are members elected by the College from various provinces of the Worldwide Anglican Church.
The three cornerstones of the Mission are Scripture, Sacrament and Spirit:
Scripture: We hold that Scripture guides our lives and is authoritative for us individually and for the church at large.
Sacramental: We believe the Sacramental life is embodied in the practices and teaching Christians have held throughout the centuries as expressed in the historic Creeds and 39 Articles of Religion. Our faith tradition has a variety of worship expressions, including the sacraments instituted by Jesus.
Spirit: We believe that the Holy Spirit is at work in the Church and the world, manifesting His power and preparing us for ministry through the deposit of His gifts.
