| 1 | Keith Nunn | I think Andrew is letting personal anger cloud his judgement on this. |

| 5 | Harold Macdonald | An essential, high-quality means of communication for the Anglican community. |
| 6 | Gordon Youngman | This is just another example of lack of planning an deciding to cut where they can. These papers continue to unite Anglicans throughout Canada which we need more today than yesterday given the nature of the Anglican Communion and the turmoil it is in |
| 7 | Marion Jenkins | If the Anglican Journal were to cease publishing altogether it would mean that the vast majority of Aboriginal Anglicans would have no access to national or diocesan news now disseminated through the Journal and Diocesan papers. There are also many, many Anglicans, especially the elderly and those in more remote locations of the country who have little or no access to the Internet. Three dollars a year or 30 cents an issue is a small price to pay for maintaining communications in our church at this very challenging time. |

| 9 | Dr Patrick Carter | Please continue support for the Anlgican Journal. |
| 10 | The Very Rev'd Walter H. Raymond OGS | Dean of Quebec |
| 11 | Joan Tuckey | Yes we need our Anglican newspapers. For many people this is their only link to the national church. |
| 12 | robin bolton | I fully support this petition |
| 13 | robin bolton | I fully support this petition |
| 14 | William Raso | Our church must maintain both our diocesan and national newspapers. Without these vital channels of communication our Anglican identity will seriously erode. I would encourage all Anglicans to support this valuable resource not only with our prayers but with our donations. |
| 15 | Canon Quentin Robinson | The Journal remains the most tangible link between members of the Anglican Church and the National Office. To cut back on its frequency would be short-sighted. Financial support of the National Church will come from increased visibility not decreased communication. |
| 16 | Michael Canning | |
| 17 | Rev'd Sam Rose | I greatly disapprove of any cuts to both the Journal and our own Anglican Life in Newfoundland & Labrador. |

| 21 | Joyce Beaton | Anglican newspapers and magazine played a huge part in my education, and as a former publisher I sympathize with the current situation. |
| 22 | Polly Betterton | I want to continue to be connected to our National Church. This is important. |
| 23 | Jean Koning | |
| 24 | Hugo Lemay | As a Lay Reader of the small Parish of St. Stephen, Grand'Mere, PQ, I feel very concerned. It is the cheapest evangelization tool we have. And as a journalist, I am well aware of the benefits of the free circulation of information. In any case, let us hope that the Holly Spirit will prevail. |
| 25 | Wilna Parry | One of the nicest 'gifts' in joining an Anglican church, is receiving The Anglican Journal and our local diocesan paper. It is a vital link to other Anglicans, in Canada and world-wide. |

| 27 | Andrina Iliffe | Information sharing is vital to the health, growth and well-being of the Anglican Church of Canada, the church therefore needs to imaginatively use all the communication vehicles at its disposal. |
| 28 | Rev. Dr. Jan Bigland-Pritchard | The Anglican Journal and Sask Anglican are very important to my parishioners. |
| 29 | Tom Roberts | |
| 30 | Judith James | For many the Journal and the local Diocesan newspaper are the only source of news and information about the Anglican community within and outside our country. The web may be in for the young, and for many of us who are not so young, but the piece of paper one can hold in one’s hand, make notes on, and refer back to; indoors or out; at home or away; whether one can afford the internet or not; must still be the mainstay of the church’s communication system. At this stage in the history of the Anglican Church of Canada, there needs to be an increase in written communication, not a cutting back. |

| 32 | Ann Schoemaker | I fully support this petition. |
| 33 | Rob Henderson | I look forward to every issue of the national paper and the Sower. I read every word. Please don't cut this communication devise. |
| 34 | Canon Paul Jennings | |
| 35 | The Rev. David Fuller | I fully support this petition. The Anglican Journal, and our diocesan component, the Huron Church News, are vital tools that allow Anglican to keep cuurent with their Church. I know I would feel "out of the loop" without it. |
| 36 | The Rev. Robert Skelding | Save the Journal! Cut the Primate!! |
| 37 | Clare Edwards | |
| 38 | Anna Reeves | I agree with the position that the Anglican Editors have taken. I think it would be very short sighted of General Synod to eliminate this communication amongst Anglican churches. There is little enough opportunity for the people themselves to be heard. Don't take it away from them. |

| 41 | Luanne MacPherson | Please consider the invaluable links these publications make between those of us in the south and north..east and west. Its important for the sense of unity. |
| 42 | Bob Wyatt | At a time when the developments within the Communion are moving so quickly, it is imperative that we continue to have The Journal available to help us understand what is happening around us. |
| 43 | John H. Lawrence | The "Journal" and the Diocesan paper are the ony links for news on the church for 90% of Anglicans.
Stop the madness and the cuts.
Save money and forget about the hysterical idea of a bishop for the aboriginals! |
| 44 | Tanya Moxley | The Journal is a critical source of information for many Anglicans. While I think it's important to be doing [some] things online, not everyone is online and they shouldn't be left out. |
| 45 | Gail Kropf | Although we may be aware of some or all of the information, the Anglican Journal & Huron Church News provides the easiest, most accurate and in depth coverage of issues which are important to Anglicans. |
| 46 | The RverendTom McQuiston | It is time that Church House got it's ass in gear. In inhabitants of the same have been sitting on their bums for years trying to figure out where next to spent the monies screwed from the parishes in rural Manitoba and the like. When I was a parish priest I never let any of my parishes spend money until they had it their hot little hands.
Try and smarten up!!! |
| 47 | James Harbeck | The Anglican Journal is really the only way I gain a sense of truly being part of a larger Anglican communion; without it, I experience the church entirely at the parish level. The Journal comes to me and reminds me of the rest of the church -- and not just the bits that the national news media care to report sloppily on. |
| 48 | Charles Nurse | The Anglican Journal is a very important part of what makes us Canadian Anglicans. |
| 49 | The Reverend Ella Frank | The paper is great for keeping everyone informed what is happening within the Anglican Communion. Maybe we should be paying a subscription for this paper. |
