Location[edit]

The article gives an address on Vancouver Street, which cannot be correct, as the Cathedral fronts on Quadra Street, and the Memorial Hall, Bishop's Chapel and the former Dean's House lie between the Cathedral and Vancouver Street. The website gives an address on Burdett Street, which is likely the church office and seems more plausible than Vancouver Street. I will change to the Burdett Street address.

I will go there to take a picture for the article, and I will check the address while I am there. HighInBC ^{(Need help? Ask me)} 18:27, 3 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Found it: 930 Burdett Avenue, Victoria, B.C. CANADA V8V 3G8 From [1]

Cathedral office was in Memorial Hall on Vancouver St for many years, and was moved to the former deanery on Burdett after the Deanery Book Shop was closed a few years back. Dhadams (talk) 05:53, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Split Cridge and Schism off[edit]

The length of those sections, and the nature of their contnet, is of a clearly different nature than the "buildings and strutures" oreintation of hte main article; I'm in no mood to do the split, but Cridge needs his own article anyway; what the title of the "schism" or scandal article woudl be I wouldn't know.Skookum1 (talk) 17:42, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The schism section is no longer dominant with other history fleshed out a bit. Dhadams (talk) 17:15, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

British dialect and spelling?[edit]

Just gotta ask why it is that the British spelling template was placed here. This location is not in England. Is it because this is an Anglican cathedral? As a Canadian article, despite the British cast of characters, it should have Canadian spelling, no? Other than in the quotes from period documents, that is.Skookum1 (talk) 17:42, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Date format[edit]

Why does this article used 2008-12-25 format for dates like December 25, 2008. WP:Dates seems to say this is not correct. --KenWalker | Talk 23:00, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have converted dates in the former format to the latter so that all are the same.

The former is my habitual date format. Dhadams (talk) 20:55, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Age of Emily Carr in 1874[edit]

The article lists Emily Carr amongst the august first citizens who petitioned Reverend Cridge to form a new congregation, the Church of Our Lord . While Emily Carr was a precocious genius I seriously doubt she was active in church politics at the age of three.

Schism of 1874[edit]

"As a Low Churchman, Dean Cridge had little use for church hierarchy and authority; not for obedience to his bishop, and certainly not for formal liturgies." Can this be a correct analysis of the issues that caused Cridge to leave and Church of Our Lord to be established within the Reformed Episcopal Church? I have played the organ for services there and in the Australian Diocese of Sydney. It is far more "high church" than there; downright papist by comparison. And it was certainly nothing to do with the social class issue which distinguished anglophone Australians till the middle of the 19th century and beyond, a substantial proportion having been taken there from the UK as criminal convicts to save the money of imprisoning them -- the Thirteen Colonies not having been available for that after the American Revolution. The various elite individuals and families who withdrew from Christ Church either to move to St. John the Divine or to Church of Our Lord surely belies that analysis. For that matter, one has never heard anything of those who withdrew being racist, as a horrid number of Australians were, even by law into the 1970s when racist immigration and residence laws were repealed. Surely the outdated if not extremely inaccurate analysis can be revised. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.211.166.183 (talk) 03:20, 21 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
