[edit] Background
In the 1980s, Annett graduated from the University of British Columbia with a Bachelor's degree in anthropology and a Master's degree in political science. In 1990, he graduated from the Vancouver School of Theology with a Master of Divinity, and was subsequently ordained by British Columbia Conference of the United Church of Canada. In 1990-1991 he served in churches in rural Manitoba, and in 1991-1992 served at the Fred Victor Mission in Toronto, an outreach street-ministery of The United Church of Canada.
From 1992 until January 1995 he was the minister to St. Andrew's United Church in Port Alberni, British Columbia. The circumstances of his departure from Port Alberni remain in dispute - Annett himself sees them as key to understanding the claims advanced in his writings.
Since 1997, Annett has been placed on the Discontinued Service List of The United Church of Canada, and cannot function in any capacity as a minister of that denomination. Annett and the United Church disagree on the reasons for this decision. [1]
