Collier was consecrated a Bishop in the Church of God on Oct. 26, 2008 for "missionary" work in Atlantic Canada. The Apostolic Succession of the Episcopacy was conferred by three bishops themselves in undoubted Apostolic Successsion. Bishop Collier was granted his Certificate of Episcopal Ordination and was assisted in establishing the Missionary District of the Diocese of Atlantic Canada, as published in the Royal Gazette for PEI in January 2009. Additionally, Bishop Collier has adopted the name "Apostolic Anglican Christian Church" for use in facilitating a better understanding of our ethos and the local "parish" is "Word and Spirit Mission". The bishop continues to be resident in Morell, PEI, but will be available for episcopal ministry throughout NS, NB and NL as well, as may be needed.<BR> <BR>Clergy or Laity interested in affiliating with the Diocese of Atlantic Canada and/or establishing DAC Congregations are welcome to contact Bishop Collier by phone, email or post.<BR><BR><IMG SRC="/art/anim/new/a-newb.gif"><BR><BR> A.C.T.S. - APOSTOLIC CHRISTIANS TEACHING SCRIPTURE<BR><BR> <IMG SRC="/art/relign/jesus.gif" ALIGN=MIDDLE><BR><JESUS' "REAL PRESENCE" IS WITH US ALWAYS! <BR><BR>Jesus promised to be with us always. <BR>He "manifests" His Presence directly by His Holy Spirit <BR>(John 3:5-7; Acts 1:8; 1 Cor 12-14), <BR>as well as through "the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, <BR>the breaking of bread and prayers"! <BR><BR>In other words, through Apostolic Doctrine (Teaching) which is faithful to the Holy Scriptures <IMG SRC="/art/anim/misc/book.gif">,<BR> pure Christian Fellowship, the Sacrament or Ordinance of the Lord's Supper <BR>(1 Cor 10:16 & 11:26,27), and Prayer in the Holy Ghost (Acts 2:42; Jude 1:20).<BR><BR> <IMG SRC="/art/anim/cross/fish1.gif"> BIBLE STUDY is the ongoing privilege of Christians. <BR>In the Holy Scriptures, God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ<BR> continually teach true believers, the Children of God, <BR>what they need to know about God's Will, Word and Ways. <BR><BR>THE CHURCH is the Body of Christ, <BR>the Fellowship in which God dwells by the power of His Holy Spirit <BR>within the spirit of every born again believer. <BR>That Fellowship is led and governed <BR>by apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers (Eph. 4:11). <BR>This is accomplished through the ministries <BR>of bishops (overseers), presbyters and deacons (Phil. 1:1; Acts 14:23). <BR>This historic three-fold ministry links the modern church <BR>with that the of New Testament, Apostolic and Sub-Apostolic period.<BR><BR> THE SACRAMENTS, especially weekly receiving of Holy Communion in the Lord's Supper, <BR>-- strengthens our relationship with God, <BR>-- develops sanctifying grace and <BR>-- constantly holds Calvary before our eyes until the Second Coming of Christ (1 Cor. 11:26).<BR><BR> PRAYER, <BR>whether personal and private or <BR>public and liturgical, <BR> is our opportunity to "pray in the Spirit" (Ephesians 6:18; Jude 1:20).<BR><BR> JESUS' REAL PRESENCE is thus always with us by the power of His Holy Spirit <BR>in the Scriptures, <BR>in the Church, <BR>in the Sacraments and <BR>in the Prayers. <BR><BR>If we can help you to receive Him or grown in Him more fully, don't hesitate to contact us! <BR><BR><IMG SRC="/art/anim/new/a-newb.gif"> <BR><BR> <BR><BR> BISHOP COLLIER’S MINI-MESSAGE #007 <BR>CONTINUE STEADFASTLY <BR> A Homily for Trinity 1 ~ 2009.06.14 <BR><BR> Today in the Church's liturgical year, based on The Book of Common Prayer, we begin the long season of Trinity-tide, sometimes known as Sundays after Pentecost. For six months we have looked at the prophecies of, life, death and resurrection of Jesus, His ascension into heaven and the descent of the Holy Spirit. <BR><BR> For the next six months, through its Sunday lectionaries, or readings, the Church looks at the teaching of Jesus and how we may apply it to our everyday or ordinary daily living. Perhaps this is why the Roman Church names these Sundays as Sundays in Ordinary Time. <BR><BR> In any case, this division of six months studying Jesus Himself and six months studying the teachings of Jesus provides us with an easy and convenient opportunity to reflect on our Christian calling. Firstly, we are called to experience God in Christ. We are called to know Jesus as our own personal Lord and Saviour. Secondly, we are called to express this conviction to others and to share with them our faith. <BR><BR> This is clearly, and appropriately, outlined in various versions of The Baptismal Covenant. There, after professing our faith in God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, the candidate is sometimes asked: "Will you continue in the apostles' teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in the prayers?" This question comes from Acts 2:38-42. <BR><BR> Having preached the Gospel on the Day of Pentecost, Peter and the other disciples are asked: ""What shall we do?" Then Peter said unto them, "Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the Gift of the Holy Ghost". <BR><BR> That is, the Christian faith begins with repentance, baptism and the receiving of the Holy Spirit. Yet we must not only have a good beginning, as most of us usually do with such things as Baptism, Sunday School, Confirmation (the Laying-on-of-Hands for special infilling and strengthening of the Holy Spirit), Holy Communion and Bible Study. We must also continue to develop and mature in the Christian faith. <BR><BR> The Church, in general, and individual Christians, have many opportunities to expand, develop and mature our faith these days with Christian TV, books, magazines, videos, dvds, cassettes, music, and so on. There are ways for nurturing and equipping the people of God for witness and ministry. These days there are no excuses for at least personal Bible study and daily devotions even if there are not a lot of people around. <BR><BR> Second Corinthians 4:5 says that "...we do not preach ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake." We may or may not have lots of opportunities to preach, teach or share Christ, but, in any case, we’ll not be ready with something fresh if we don’t continue in the apostles’ doctrine through personal prayer and Bible study, etc., on a regular daily basis. <BR><BR> Continuing in the apostles' teaching, fellowship, the sacraments and prayer are all ways in which that stress and burdens are lifted personally, which is something we may share as testimony with others when given the opportunity to do so. This is what St. Paul means when he says that we now "carry around in our body the death of Jesus……. so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body" (2 Cor.4:10). <BR><BR> During the last six months of Advent, Epiphany, Lent and Easter-tide, we have been presented with images and stories about the Person of Christ Jesus Himself. Now, with the power of the Holy Spirit given to believers on the Day of Pentecost, we must reveal and share "the life of Jesus" within the believer. The last six months centered on our salvation, based on the Cross, now it is equally essential that we experience and live out Jesus’ risen life within us. <BR><BR> God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit has bestowed upon us the gift of Salvation and now, with all newly born-again and Spirit-filled Christians, we must continue our growth in the power of the Spirit so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body, the Body of Christ. May God bless us, enable us and empower us with His Holy Spirit. <BR><BR> "Glory to God from generation to generation, in the Church and in Christ Jesus, for ever and ever. Amen." <BR><BR> DR.
