- Notes
- "Discrimination is rightfully illegal and civil unions of same-sex people have been legitimized. The scriptures and Jesus’ own teachings, however, are clear. He spoke explicitly about sexual immorality and the nature of marriage. He denounced the former (Matthew 5:28; 15:19) and defined the latter according to Genesis 2:24: “For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh” (Matthew 19:5; Mark 10:7–8). Jesus affirmed the covenanted union of one man and one woman as the only normative expression of human sexuality. Sadly, the Anglican Church of Canada has hitched its wagon to current popular culture, and in the space of 30-40 years overturned 2,000 years of Christian belief".
