I refused to donate money to any of the residential school fundraisers held at my church.

My conscience is clear.

Do we need any more evidence that money is the root of all evil

Actually, it’s the love of money – 1 Tim. 6:10

Regarding the residential school issue.
Do we need any more evidence that money is the root of all evil. When ACC accepted liability/punishment for the sins of other poeple and organizations did it give any thought to also providing the healing power of God? Why was the money just handed over, and none used to pay for councilling?
This may not sound very good of me, but frankly I was disgusted when I sat in Church and was asked to donate more and more money for the blood money that ACC had offered the victims. These sins were committed by people other than myself, and also before I was born. I thought that Jesus said that the son will not be punished for the sins of his father. So why was I being asked to accept liability/punishment for these sins?

It’s all over today’s news. So much for “justice” and “reconciliation”.

Is he going to report on all those native Canadians committing suicide after receiving residential school financial settlements from the church?

I expect that his report to the primates will be that the mission of the Canadian church (to become the largest social services agency in the country) is flourishing, that the “listening” process (we’ll talk and you’ll listen until you agree with us) is progressing, and that the current discourse over human sexuality has had no meaningful impact on the church’s priorities (SSB’s coming to a church near you). In other words, to paraphrase the Presiding Heretic to the south – “All is well”.

In reading the Article it I think that the Primate and the Canadian Bishops have their heads in the Sand The Primate has never told the Truth and I think he never Will

I am reminded of Matthew Chapter 7 V 15
Beware of False Prophets who come in Sheep’s clothing but inwardly are Ravenous Wolves.

One of the five missions made much of by Mr Hiltz is “to proclaim the good news”. However, when asked to explain what the good news is at the recent meeting in Burlington, Mr H. could not come up with an answer – just a lot of rhetoric about the good news being presented in liturgy and worship while avoiding having to explain what he feels the good news is.
