St. John\u2019s evicted a thriving congregation in 2011, resulting in a church that resembled a mausoleum<\/a> and a massive loss of revenue. It\u2019s an expensive church to maintain so, in 2018, the diocese rented the church to a film crew making a TV program called, aptly enough, Imposters<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Now in a further attempt to fill the pews, St. John\u2019s has decided to appeal to the occult by hosting a \u201cHalloween Spooktacular\u201d<\/a>.<\/p>\n

St. John\u2019s belief in the reality of the occult is on much the same level as its belief in Christianity: close to non-existent.<\/p>\n

\"\"Halloween Organ Spooktacular<\/p>\n

When: Oct. 25, 7:30-9 p.m.<\/p>\n

Where: St. John\u2019s Shaughnessy Anglican Church<\/p>\n

Tickets and info: by donation, vancouver.anglican.ca<\/p>\n

As part of its 50th anniversary revitalization campaign, the grand pipe organ of St John\u2019s Shaughnessy has been undergoing a major technological overhaul. To give the instrument a proper workout, the Royal Canadian College of Organists is holding its annual Halloween Spooktacular concert at SJS rather than St Andrew\u2019s-Wesley (which is closed for renovations anyway).\u00a0 Dressed in Halloween attire, nine organists will perform spooky selections from the Bach Toccata and Fugue in D minor (used in the 1962 movie Phantom of the Opera, for one), Chopin\u2019s Funeral March, Berloiz\u2019 March to the Scaffold, and Grieg\u2019s Death of Ase. Audience members are encouraged to dress up, and there will be treats for the kids.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
