- Notes
- "'I do not want the church to divide over this', [Archbishop Fred Hiltz] said in an interview with the 'Anglican Journal' after Council of General Synod (CoGS) held a special session, on September 22-23 [2015], to receive the report [of the Commission on the Marriage Canon] ... Hiltz said, he believes 'there's enough will and resolve within our church to have a good, focused, patient conversation about this'". "Hiltz praised the report for bringing some much-needed theological analysis to debates over same-sex marriage. The report offers 'both a challenge and an invitation to go more deeply into our conversations about same-gendered relationships', said Hiltz. 'We had a conversation from the point of view of human rights, justice, pastoral care, but we didn't have [a] deep, biblical, theological rationale, and that's what General Synod, among other things, asked for'."
