Having failed to find the money needed to run its own synod, the ACoC has decided to tackle something easier:
Subject: Toward a World Free of Nuclear Weapons
Moved by: The Rev. Canon Dr. William E. Prentice, Diocese of Ottawa
Seconded by: The Rev. Dr. Linda Privitera, Diocese of Ottawa
Be it resolved that this General Synod:
Expresses its support for a world free of nuclear weapons, and asks the General Secretary to convey our position to the Government of Canada, requesting:
- from the Government information about Canadian activities to support nuclear disarmament, and
- from the Prime Minister a public affirmation of Canada’s commitment to a world free of nuclear weapons.
Many are rejoicing as the ACoC does its bit to disarm the West:
No wonder these people have no one giving them money. They do not stick to their mandate and go dithering off into things of this world. Ah well it soon will be all over and Christians will be rid of one more embarrassment.
