- Notes
- "Some 50 years ago, homosexual relations in Canada were prohibited by the Criminal Code of Canada. Today, our federal Parliament has authorized full marriage between persons of the same sex. And while the definition of marriage in our church remains the same, the two most significant recent documents have been the 'Windsor Report' and the 'St. Michael Report'. If we are to identify differences, they must be found in these two reports or its scriptural interpretations. The General Synod of the Anglican Church of Canada has failed to deal with the question of blessing same-sex marriage and the ANiC (Anglican Network in Canada) is opposed. Should this justify dividing our church ? I call upon the Anglican laity of Canada to think carefully. Is it not time for cooler heads to prevail ?" [Text of entire article.]
