52 Anne & Peter MaltonNot only is the Journal a fine example of news and views presentation, it serves as a vital, and perhaps the only, link between Canadian Anglicans. Please don't sacrifice this instrument of unity in the interests of petty economies!
53 Kendall Reimer
54 Evan Agnewthe papers are informative and keep me up to date on what is happening. Shurly no one would let the journal die!
55 MEB ReisnerPlease do not jeopardize our Canadian Anglican publications. To do so would be a betrayal of past generations and what they have passed down to us.
56 Richard Birney-SmithThe printed paper is essential. The internet cannot be carried to the train, the barber shop, or any other places where one might read while waiting.
57 Lynne CornishI belong to a small rural Manitoba parish. The Journal is a treasured publication in our parish and it should not be abandoned. It is the only publication coming into all our homes and keeps us abreast of world church issues. We NEED this paper. Thank you.
58 Cath MossLets keep the news

61 Kenneth HullThe Anglican Journal is essential to our somewhat fragile sense of unity as a Canadian church.
62 Betsy ClarkeIt is so commom when an organization is in financial trouple to cut the newsletter. it is folly; doing so eliminates the one thing that oputs th ename of the organization in front of its supporters and donors.
63 The Venerable Dr. Neil Carver
64 Marilyn JacksonWhy are the newspapers always targeted? There must be another solution.
65 Donna Hunter
66 Dianne McConachie
67 James CattoThe Anglican is my resource for knowing what goes on in the Anglican Church in Canada as well as my Diocese. I would be very disappointed if funding is cut. Money must not be a priority over the one thing that can keep the Canadian church together.
68 Patsy L. Hayes
69 Mary Gillanders
70 Rev. Cyril H. PowlesThe Journal is the only way we can keep in touch with what is going on. We old folk and others not on the web, would all be shut out if the Journal ceased publication.
71 The Rev. Malcolm BinksAt this time in the life of the Anglican Church in Canada a healthy Journal and our Diocesan newspapers are more important than ever.
72 Rev. K.David Holmeslook forward to each issue, when I served the church in the West Indies it was my contact with the church at home and sure most people living elsewhere in the world feel this too. Good articles and always food for thought

75 Robert G. Armstrong, C.A.Why, why, why can't the National Church ever get its act together? The papers are tremendous in linking us, as Anglicans, together, sharing news and providing valuable insight and allowing input....keep the papers!!
76 Sarah Neish& The Rev Canon Donald NeishThere are some things we can cut but communication between Anglicans should not be one of them.

78 Douglas HergettI find the "Journal" to be an extremely useful source of information about the state of our church in Canada and throughtout the world.
79 Daniel Francis GravesThe Anglican Journal and the Diocesan Newspapers are one of the few ways that Anglicans across the country can relate in a personal way to diocesan and National Church Ministries. We are not a congregational church, for goodness sake! Let us support the institutions that bind us as an Anglican family and as a Christian people!
80 The Ven. Robert W. SnellingAs a former member of the Board of Trustees of the Journal I still see it as an essential link for Anglicans across Canada to communicate with one another and keep informed about current affairs as well as giving vital support to the Diocesan papers.

83 Valerie HuntThe paper is an important part of communicating that we are more than a parish or a diocese. It keeps us informed in a way that nothing else does.
84 Sue Crowe ConnollyPlease do not cut the funding to the Anglican Journal. It is how I know what is going on in the rest of the communion. Thank you.
85 Peter DavisonAsking The Journal and diocesan papers to bear the brunt of the deficit would be short-sighted, to say the least. The national deficit could be eliminated if each of the 200,000 households that receive the Journal contributes an average of $5.00. The national leadership should know that a figure of $1 million sounds huge, but if broken down into bite-sized amounts to peanuts per household. My own experience with fundraising supports this (e.g. raising $1 million within a single parish for a cause that people supported). I urge that the National Church put before Anglicans across the country a simple challenge to contribute $25.00 extra per household to the national budget in 2006. This would more than solve the present situation. There are plenty of signs that the church as a whole is alive and well, and needs positive incentives rather than hand-wringing.
86 Doug HodgkinsonThese are tough times with hard decisions to be made about programs in competition but I agree with the editors that the Journal is vital for the church's life. Save it.
87 Donna Elnor"Th Anglican" is a key way of keeping informed on Anglicanism- Please do not let this vital link be broken
88 Stephanie Douglas-Bowman
89 AnonymousWith the present declining of members in our dioceses of which in turn reflects on budgets, it is imperative that our diocese papers continue to function. Of all medias, the print media still remains as the best means of communication. Please keep this in mind as the budget is reviewed and prepared for the coming years.
90 David & Margaret MylesInformation is power; communication can bring about change. This is how we communicate the Gospel.
91 frank C. WarburtonFirstly I support in genal terms t=your commrnts. abaut 100% on some commentd. The recent survey I am sure will reveal some far reaching topic, believe you should publish the results. The paper as a whole needs to be livened up and more revenue advertising sought st the moment I would define the paper as stuffy old fashioned and boreing it needs to be wakened up to meet todays action oriented world. Frank.C.Warburton June 16th 2006
92 Rob HendersonI read every word of every paper and really enjoy the Sower.
93 Reverend Katherine Morgan
94 Beverley Sloboda

96 Anne MainsI know many people in my church who do not use the internet but who read their Anglican Journal - I agree with the editors on this - AJ is an important information tool.
97 The Rev'd Elaine ClarkBoth our national and diocesan papers are vital ways of communicating with one another and strengthening our sense of communion with one another. Please maintain the funding of them!
98 Marion B. DewarI resently attended the Advocacy Justice Camp in Ottawa, meeting Anglicans from B.C to Newfoundland and now more than ever I would like to know what is developing, troubling or joyful in all of the Anglican dioceses in Canada and abroad.

100 wkeithscottHI: Save in man, Save it man... I'm all for that, this is an must the 'paper' is the 'face to the Anglican community, and much further, I read and study it extensively, then give it away to an neighbour and friend. You, have ti re-learn that their are no negative boundaries on God's Blessing's...if you need more money, financial 'control', pray aboutit, plan, then 'ask us'. That is, completely different to uncontrolled spending, irresponsible defecit's that I read about, and see occur at the local parish level. That has to change, now, the former is an open road, the latter is an tough winding road to further financial woes. Keep in touch...have Faith....get the job done.. + k [Quit crying about it] Do it!
