Recent History
On 16 February 2008, the congregation of St. Albans voted to request alternative episcopal oversight from the Anglican Province of the Southern Cone, joining the Anglican Network in Canada. In 2010, the parish of St. Albans (in partnership with her sister church, St. George's) entered into negotiations with the Anglican Diocese of Ottawa regarding the buildings and assets of both parishes. In February, 2011, the Anglican Diocese of Ottawa and parishes of St. Albans and St. George's came to a without prejudice agreement. Under that agreement, the parish of St. Albans would relocate and would change its name,and the parish of St. George's would retain their building and change their name. The old parish of St. Albans is now known as the Church of the Messiah, part of the Anglican Church in North America. The Anglican Diocese of Ottawa regained possession of the building and name of St. Albans church on July 1, 2011.
169 Stewart Street was the manse for the church originally, which housed the clergy and pastor for the church.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The second day of July 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more”
—John Adams (1735–1826)
“It gives me the greatest pleasure to say, as I do from the bottom of my heart, that never in the history of the country, in any crisis and under any conditions, have our Jewish fellow citizens failed to live up to the highest standards of citizenship and patriotism.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
