Letter to the editor: Ecclesiastics, dogma

Notes: "Re: 'Vancouver church votes to leave Canadian church' (Feb. 14 [2008] story, www.anglicanjournal.com). It is reported that St. John's Shaughnessy church held a Bible study just prior to voting to split over its opposition to homosexual persons. Why ? The conservative believers across the continent made it obvious that same-sex marriage and blessings were simply a diplomatic vehicle. The real underlying opposition is not to anything as trivial as redefining marriage, but exists as a fierce and vitriolic opposition to the very existence of an entire segment of humanity".
