In the Fall of 2015, it became clear that the funding for the position of the Anglican Chaplain at VGH was not going to be available for 2016. St. John’s Shaughnessy had supported the position for 2015 but they were not able to continue funding the ministry on their own. The Anglican Churches of the west-side of Vancouver, the Vancouver Archdeaconry, started a conversation about how we might be able to support this role for 2016.
