Earlier, I reported about what happened at Cedar Park Church when the
B.C. Mennonite Brethren Conference shut down it’s effort to discuss LGBTQ+
welcome and inclusion—in the process causing all three pastors to resign and
most members to leave.
I’m told about 30-35 people, including children, stayed at the church. About
100 former members and attendees who left have been meeting for monthly
fellowship services this past summer.
Some other former CPC members have gone to other churches, while others have “just given up meeting due their hurt and anger caused by the way the provincial MB leadership treated our board and pastors,” as one former member put it.
Those who have stayed in touch “are holding on to hope that something beautiful and different could emerge in the future,” he added.
