None of it is surprising.
ACNA’s Foley Beach supports the supreme court ruling:
While this decision doesn’t end abortion in the U.S., it will lead to fewer children being killed through abortion. We thank God for this limited victory, and the Anglican Church in North America recommits itself to serving mothers so they can embrace motherhood and welcome their children. We also continue to point the way to God’s healing and forgiveness for all who suffer physically and emotionally from their abortion experiences.
TEC’s Michael Currey does not:
While I, like many, anticipated this decision, I am deeply grieved by it. I have been ordained more than 40 years, and I have served as a pastor in poor communities; I have witnessed firsthand the negative impact this decision will have.
Most Canadian bishops have yet to react publicly, but I suspect we all know what they are thinking.
Here are a few that have. Coming in first we have the Bishop of BC, Anna Greenwood-Lee, tweeting her support for Michael Curry’s LibSpeak:
Coming in a close second, we have the ex-bishop of Edmonton, Jane Alexander who thinks that treating an unborn baby as less than human is necessary for women to be treated as fully human:
On the optimistic side of things, church leaders of this calibre are doing their very best to hasten the demise of their own organisation: on the one hand they favour sterile homoerotic ménages and, on the other, the killing of the unborn offspring of the few heterosexual couples still coming to sleep in their pews. They will be gone in a generation.
In response to ” I have been ordained more than 40 years, and I have served as a pastor in poor communities; I have witnessed firsthand the negative impact this decision will have.”
No, we really don’t need unwanted babies from poor communities, do we?
Babies of all economic classes have human dignity. I am so disgusted with the Anglican Church of Canada.
I wonder if Bishop Currey has ever witnessed a mid term or late term abortion, or even seen a picture of the remains after the procedure.
Abby Johnson, former ‘Planned Parenthood’ clinic director has, causing her to become pro-life in face of the “barbarity” of abortion ‘medical’ procedures.
v. ‘Mailonline’, July 11, 2022.
The outstanding moral question for USA President Biden and Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau is:
have they??
These views are at odds with the historical witness of the church, starting with the Didache.
What Huston Chamberlain, Count Gobineau, and Friedrich Nietzsche were to the race/blood advent of 19c/20c anti-Semitism culminating in the Hitlerian Holocaust
of six and one half million targeted Jews, in the worst of historical ironies Margaret Sanger’s race/blood eugenics has targeted African American babies under the specious name of ‘Planned Parenthood’ wreaking its own Black Babies Holocaust.
For this reason Mrs. Clinton – on record as a proponent of late term abortion – had Ms. Sanger’s statue moved to a less public place of pro-choice homage in Washington, D.C,; while the Democrat Party continues to line its crimson coffers with the profit$.
Does His Grace, The Reverend Michael Curry, bow his knee to these ‘Black Lives Matter’? Closer to home, does Canada’s Prime Minister?
