FYI, the Anglican Church of Canada HoB meet this week (27th-31st October), where at least Ottawa and Montreal intend to announce plans that they will move forward with SSB. IMHO the most likely outcome will be a heavily nuanced statement from a heavily conflicted body. The more orthodox bishops are not going to like the plans, but I doubt they will be willing to rock the boat enough to prevent it from happening, or even to issue a minority statement. Hence, the dioceses will get what they want from an internally conflicted, paralysed and as a result impotent body. Of course, I could be wrong, and in terms of the more orthodox bishops taking a stand, I would be very glad to be wrong! Something perhaps for prayer…..
