Media Attention and Legal Troubles
The Anglican Network has recently gained a degree of media attention in two respects. Firstly, the network upholds traditional Christian understandings of morality including what it believes are the orthodox Biblical ideas about family, marriage and discipleship. The network has been criticized by the mainline Anglican Church of Canada, the Canadian media, secular interest groups and other liberal, mainline denominations for taking a stand against the blessing of same-sex unions and same-sex marriage.
Secondly, many parishes in the network are involved in legal battles with their former Anglican dioceses. This includes many established, vibrant and larger churches being sued by the Anglican Church of Canada for possession of their church buildings and trust funds attached to them.
