Having already shattered the unity of the Anglican Communion by blessing the union of same-sex couples, the Anglican Church of Canada, in a rare moment of penetrating insight, is considering the remote possibility that pressing ahead with actually marrying same-sex couples will make things even worse.
From here:
The Commission on the Marriage Canon’s final report will incorporate not only the submissions received from Anglicans across Canada, but will also reflect consultations about how changing the church’s law to allow for same-sex marriage might affect relationships within and outside of the Anglican Church of Canada.
“It’s clear that as we engage our conversation around this potential canon, it has implications for our relationships with others — our relationships across the Anglican Communion and our relationships with our ecumenical partners,”
Bishop Linda Nicholls went on to note”
“We also recognize that at some level, this is a no-win proposition,” added Nicholls. “Whatever we put forward, there will be those who are unhappy, in pain, struggling.”
That just about sums up the ACoC: pain, struggling, unhappiness and no Salvation.
Who will be in pain and struggling if they attempt change God’s Word and laws
, I wonder?
The ACoC does not simply attempt to change God’s word but totally rejects anything that does not fit in with its agenda. The Gospel means nothing to them and they will continue to reject both the authority of Scripture and the uniqueness of Jesus Christ if and when they think the general public will support them. As I stated in previous comments, the ACoC and the TEC are no longer Christian and I fail to understand why the ABC considers them part of the Anglican Communion.
Amazing. To realise, only now, that the smouldering powder trail of s/s blessing burns into explosive canonical dynamite. Even so it is unlikely that the simple safety step of dousing said fuse is up for debate. Even more unlikely would be an admission that it should not have been lit in the first place!
“We thank Thee that the joyful accents of The Gospel trumpet have fallen upon the ears of thousands, and gladdened the hearts of many.
Praise to GOD, for the descent of The Spirit,
and for the accomplishment of that promise,
He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass, and like showers that
water the earth.
We thank Thee, for any measure in which the kingdom of Satan has fallen as lightning from Heaven, and for any blessed accessions which have been added to The Kingdom of our exalted Emmanuel.” Amen.

This is so much fluff and stuff. Anyone with a working brain can see quite clearly that the decision to move on with the sexual perversion agenda has already been made. This is nothing more than window dressing and a pathetic attempt to minimize any damages that will certainly result.
