Joint Worship
[edit]Possible categorization of joint worshop from the North American experience and from an Episcopalian/Anglican perspective.
- Anglican church rents space to another church. I know of an Anglican church and Roman Catholic church sharing a building for 17 years with the Anglicans being the landlord.
- Anglican church is part of an ecumenical centre. I know of two types. In one type, the centre is much like a shopping plazza where the various churches share one physical building but maintain separate spaces and, possibly, separate entrances. In newly constructed communities this seems to be the case. The other type of ecumenical centre consists of a common hall or space which is occupied on a schedule by various churches much like basketball, badminton and volleyball players will share a community gym. This seems to be the model for university and hospital worship spaces. For example, the the first ecumenical church to be built in Canada in 1968 in Whistler, British Columbia [1].
- Anglican church shares a church building and worship space with another church on a fortnightly rotation. One Sunday, the service is Anglican. Next Sunday, the service is of the other church. The congregation can be almost identical on each Sunday so that it is the leaders and style that change. This usually occurs in small and remote communities but I know of a city example. For example, St Mark's Anglican Church/Trinity United Church in Vancouver [2].
- Anglican church is home to a minister or priest of a different church who will lead the occasional service. I know of an example where a Lutheran street priest is based out of an Anglican church.
- Anglican and another church hold joint services every Sunday lead by a leader from both churches to a mixed congregation.
For example, the Church of the Holy Apostles in Virginia Beach, Virginia: a Anglican/Roman Catholic Church in the Episcopal Diocese of Southern Virginia.[3]
There might be other joint worship/ecumenical models. My categorization is only to generate some ideas of how to incorporate the concept into the main article. Cheers! Wassupwestcoast 05:19, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
