On from the news here, Christ Church cathedral has taken the plunge:
The congregation at Christ Church Cathedral has voted more than 90 per cent in favour of blessing married homosexual couples.
On Sunday, at the annual general meeting of the parish, members voted 148 to 14 in a secret ballot to seek permission to bless the unions.
Rev. Logan McMenamie, dean of the cathedral, said he was pleased with the result of the vote and proud of the way the cathedral’s parishioners came to the decision.
….
Hooray! Good for them.
Darkness and light -how clear it becomes.
Just further proof that the ACoC has abandoned any claim to be Christian. They have shifted their allegiance to so-called political correctness – a term, which in itself, is deceitful.
Ichabod, God’s glory has departed.
Can we move onto other important topics, e.g. biblical interpretation, abortion, remarriage after divorce, female priests, etc.?
The Marriage canon of the ACoC still says that marriage is between a man & a woman with biblical quotes. Scripture, reason & tradition for all issues + prayer.
For Siena:-
Yes the canon might well state what you have quoted but when the ACoC has already rejected both the authority of Scripture and the uniqueness of Jesus Christ one can expect anything. The ACoC has lost its bearings and is simply floating in the sea of political expediency and its own ego. This is particularly true of the Diocese of New Westminster.
148 + 14 = 162.
Is this correct? The CATHEDRAL is down to only 162 members now?
