Church of the Good Shepherd (Vancouver)
The Church of the Good Shepherd (formally the Anglican Network Church of the Good Shepherd) is an Anglican church in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. It was the first Chinese-speaking Anglican church in Canada and remains known for serving the Chinese Canadian community in Greater Vancouver and grew to be the largest Chinese Anglican congregation in Canada. The congregation began as a mission to migrant Chinese workers in the 1880s before becoming the Good Shepherd Mission of the Anglican Diocese of New Westminster in 1892. It relocated multiple times within Vancouver as the congregation grew, reaching more than 200 members by 2008. Good Shepherd was an active participant in debates over same-sex blessings in the Anglican Church of Canada (ACC) during the Anglican realignment, joining several other congregations in walking out of New Westminster synod in 2002 over the issue. In 2008, the congregation left the ACC and joined the Anglican Network in Canada. After litigation, the church lost its real estate assets to the diocese, but it retained a multi-million-dollar bequest given for the congregation's building program. The congregation purchased its rented space, the former building of the Metropolitan Tabernacle, completed in 1932.
