In the Diocese of B.C., it seems that if you are a Christian who thinks that men having sex with other men is not a good idea or you think encouraging children to believe that they were assigned the wrong body is child abuse, you are a Christo-Fascist, a white supremacist and a member of a hate group.

You also refuse to wear a mask (unlike Antifa enthusiasts), are an anti-vaxxer, antisemitic and Islamophobic. There are probably a few more phobias you are guilty of, all of which are explained in more detail that sanity can bear in a diocesan missive here:

In front of the BC legislature on many Saturdays over the past year, you would see people holding up signs about freedom, many of them white Christian men and women. If you looked or listened closely, you would also hear messages about hate. 

Christo fascism is on the rise in Canada. By Christo fascism, I mean predominantly white Christian groups in Canada seeking to impose their religious views, including discrimination of marginalized groups of people, upon the wider public. This includes actively opposing polices of queer inclusion at public institutions such as schools, universities, health clinics and legislative bodies, especially through undemocratic means. Tactics include intimidation, harassment, threat of violence, and seeking to revoke or repeal charter freedoms of other Canadians. These groups that often wave the flag of individual and religious freedom are also among the first to want to revoke freedoms of groups of people they find undesirable, falling outside of the norms of an extremist Christian faith. 

White supremacists and hate groups have established a foothold in Canadian churches, including hate groups disguised as public interest groups. For example, so-called groups of concerned citizens who allege trans kids are victims of child abuse, simply for falling outside the gender norms these extremist Christian groups prescribe. A group will say they are concerned and then show up en masse protesting actual children who are exercising their freedoms simply to exist. Such protests have happened recently in Vancouver.

Worship services

If all participants are vaccinated as determined by the worship service leader, there are no capacity restrictions on worship services and choirs.

If participants are not all vaccinated, worship services and choirs are limited to 50% seated capacity.

Masks are required but can be temporarily removed for ceremonial eating and drinking, and by officiants, readers or for singing a solo where physical distancing is observed.

This, of course, has no effect on the Anglican Diocese of BC, since they struggle to fill their churches to 25% capacity at the best of times.

It does place great responsibility in the hands of “the worship service leader”, though. Who inspects the vaccine passports? The greeters (good morning, welcome to St. Elgiebetea’s, show me your papers)? If the church becomes half full, do you ask only the latecomers for papers, or do you throw everyone out and, in your egalitarian zeal, start again? Must masks be N95? Will an old scarf do? A pair of my wife’s pantyhose? Must churches hire bouncers to eject unclean interlopers?

In comparison to this, the mystery of the Trinity is simplicity itself.

An update from the Diocese of BC as of December 21st:

Unvaccinated individuals over the age of 12 will be asked to participate in worship virtually only for the next few months, while vaccination rates continue to improve, and the threat of the new variant is assessed.
