Update on the election of the Anglican Bishop Ordinary to the Canadian Armed Forces

After eight ballots with no material change in the last four, no election was achieved. The Primate, as chair of the election, suspended the process as per the canons of the Anglican Military Ordinariate. In the coming weeks, a new election process will begin, with more information to follow.
