But before it does so, it wants to make sure it doesn’t say anything too definitive because, after all: “There’ll be some Anglicans who-as the Primate said-strongly welcome this, and there’ll be others who think this is terrible, and others who are more ambivalent.”
In other words, expect the usual wishy-washy muddle.
From here:
In the wake of a historic ruling by the Supreme Court of Canada on doctor-assisted suicide, an Anglican task force is looking to hear the views of interested church members on this controversial issue.
[….]
He invited church members to articulate their concerns, potentially with reference to their own experiences, in order to help the task force determine its actions going forward.
Submissions to the task force should be sent to the Rev. Dr. Eileen Scully, director of Faith, Worship and Ministry, at escully@national.anglican.ca
Anyone who might wonder what some of difficulties are of attempting to maintain an institution that has ‘no gravity’……….wonder no more. Really. A task force. Sure, lets sit around a table and talk around the actual subject matter……..without really building a concensus. So typically Anglican……….so polite, so proper, so time wasting!
Indaba. Yaba daba doo.
First things first-a task force to hear-out the subject of ACoC “clerical-assisted ecclesiasticide” is long past due.
Don’t forget “the indifference if good men” in the diagnosis box on the death certificate.
