I think the child could be one of Bishop Kevin Robertson’s two children, who he raises with his husband. I am a member of the church where Bishop Kevin was rector prior to being ordained as a bishop. I can say that a good many of our congregation fully support Pride as a necessary example of inclusion. Such inclusion in fact is seen as the heart of the Gospel where all are welcome at God’s table and none are judged. The flag is seen as a symbol of solidarity with those previously marginalised and oppressed. I’ve no wish to hold my nose at faithful Christians who are in a monogamous same-sex relationship, and I have learned much from clergy (in the UK) who are. Yet, that the sermon last Sunday was preached on Pride by two clergy, each in a pulpit adorned with a large rainbow flag, was a source of deep dismay. Isn’t the cross the ultimate symbol of God’s solidarity with people who are oppressed for whatever reason? I only wish that both clergy and people on this blog would pay close attention to the theology of the cross. Has anyone read Flemming Rutledge?
Pride Toronto’s ‘Proud Anglicans’ omitted the Primate’s quest for a safer church in her General Synod June 28, 2023, public mea culpa whereby forgiveness is sought for sexual “shortcomings” and “misconduct”: Not Biblical sin Let that Rainbow Rebel pennant fly!.
That poor child with ‘another bishop’ looks quite unhappy. Was this a ‘grooming exercise’ as well? Lord Have Mercy!
