- "Canadian Roman Catholics have expressed the hope that the Anglican Church of Canada will seek input from ecumenical partners as it continues discussion concerning a resolution to amend the church's marriage canon to allow same-sex marriage. The marriage canon resolution was among matters discussed at a joint meeting of the Anglican-Roman Catholic Bishops' Dialogue (ARC-B) and the Anglican-Roman Catholic Dialogue of Canada (ARC Canada). Anglican Bishop Linda Nicholls, ARC Canada co-chair, reported on last summer's Anglican-Lutheran Joint Assembly which included an explanation of the said resolution passed by General Synod. Nicholls assured Catholic representatives that since the resolution calls for 'broad consultation', this could be interpreted to include consultation with the church's ecumenical partners, including the Roman Catholic Church, said Archdeacon Bruce Myers, General Synod's co-ordinator for ecumenical and interfaith relations, who attended the meeting. The ARC-B also agreed that Anglican and Catholic bishops could have issued a joint declaration, instead of separate statements, about the controversial Charter of Values and the proposed end-of-life care legislation in Quebec, which would have offered 'an even stronger Christian witness', said Myers".
