Serving Our Community Since 1862
St Stephen’s welcomes you to the worship of God through the liturgy of the Anglican Church.
Like the early Church (Acts 2:42), we meet each Sunday to celebrate the Holy Eucharist.
Eucharist means “thanksgiving” and refers to the thanks we give to God for the gift of life, for the continuing presence of the Holy Spirit, and most of all, for the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Prayer in the style of Taize returns to Grace Lutheran Church (1273 Fort St.) on Friday, March 19 at 6:00. This ecumenical form of prayer provides a place for all to be welcomed and to come together in prayer, music and silence.
Singing is one of the most essential elements of worship and Taize has generated a unique style of distinctive and much-repeated short prayer chants, taken from the psalms or scripture. The using of a few words to express a basic reality of faith gives a meditative character to the service. This meditative singing thus becomes a way of listening to God.
Please join us as the Christian churches in downtown Victoria continue their 14th year of praying together as we draw hope of finding unity within ourselves and the world.

Proposed restructuring in the diocese of British Columbia, including a recommendation to close 13 churches, has received a lot of “feedback” from individuals and parishes.
So much feedback, in fact, that the team’s co-chair, Canon Dr. Martin Hendy, said it won’t be possible to respond to everyone before the diocesan synod meets Mar. 5-7.

A LONG-AWAITED provincial court decision has disappointed traditional Anglicans.
On November 25, Justice Stephen Kelleher of the B.C. Supreme Court ruled that the Anglican Diocese of New Westminster will retain the property of four parishes which have left the diocese to join the Anglican Network in Canada (ANiC). While the decision has brought some clarity, however, it has not resolved all issues in the dispute.
A strong majority in the four parishes voted to leave the diocese in 2008. As stated in an ANiC news release, they had been in “serious theological dispute” with the diocese since 2002, when it voted to offer blessings to same-sex unions.
The parishes have argued that the real issue is their commitment to remain true to the teachings of the Bible. They are among many traditional parishes uncomfortable with liberal theological and social trends in the Anglican church.

Anglican Diocese team recommends closing several churches around Victoria, Vancouver Island in “transformation”
St. Paul's Anglican Church (click image to enlarge)
Ten Anglican churches in Greater Victoria should close and their parishioners move to other congregations, says a report released yesterday that calls for sweeping changes to deal with declining attendance and aging congregations.
The report was commissioned by the Diocese of British Columbia, which governs Anglican churches on Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands. It also recommends the closing of churches at Crofton, Cowichan Station, South Pender and Saltspring.
Church leaders, priests and parish representatives are expected to vote on the recommendations at a meeting of the Diocesan Synod in March. If approved, the changes could take effect within 18 months.
