How CTR (Christ the Redeemer) got it's name. Church was in process of forming, and a building found, first leased now owned, formerly Catholic a great fit for Anglican. So, the issue was--- what should the name of the church be? Fr Jurgen Liias (formerly of Christ Church in Hamilton, founding rector of CTR, soon to be Catholic and ordained a Catholic priest for the Ordinariate) had a dream, and as it happened, so did the senior and junior wardens of the Vestry---- that they were in the building, and all these people were coming with bags and boxes of cans & bottles, and when Jurgen asked WHY--- a Voice was heard---"Have I not told you this place is to be a REDEMPTION CENTER?"
Hence the name, Christ the Redeemer.
