Canadian Anglicans weigh in on primates' warning to US church

[Ian David]

The Canadian church was hardly mentioned in the communiqué that ended the Feb 15-19 meeting of Anglican primates in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, but the church’s General Synod, will wrestle with questions of sexuality in June and that fact was much on the minds of Canadian observers.

The triennial governing convention, which will meet from June 19 to 25 in Winnipeg, is expected to consider whether dioceses and parishes may decide individually whether to allow blessing ceremonies for gay couples. It will consider a theological commission’s opinion that such blessings touch upon the doctrine of marriage, but not on core Christian doctrine. It is also expected to consider a response to the Windsor Report, a document calling for a moratorium on the election of gay priests to the episcopate and on same-sex blessings.
