Last Thursday, Toronto’s Anglican Diocesan Council decided to give St. Stephen’s a stay of execution.
The council resolved to let the congregation of St. Stephen-in-the-Fields, a church on College St. at the north end of Kensington Market, stay in their building “on a month-to-month basis until a tenant is found, and subject to the continued cooperation of the parish with the Diocese.” Reactions at the congregation were mixed.
“I had been hoping…that with the sorts of feelings we’ve been getting, the feedback we’d been getting, that we were going to do better than we did,” says Martha Cunningham, a parishioner who has been coordinating efforts to raise support for St. Stephen’s.
