Apparently, the ACoC’s impending change to the marriage canon is causing “a bit of anxiety.”
Fred Hiltz visited Justin Welby recently to talk about the proposed marriage canon changes; and reconciliation – an odd juxtaposition since adoption of the former will eliminate the possibility of the latter. Funnily enough, during his last visit, Hiltz cautioned Welby about recognising ACNA; we wouldn’t want to overdo the reconciliation charade, would we.
From here:
“The archbishop was interested in where we are with the marriage canon matter, and in the interests of transparency I took a copy of the resolution from General Synod, the resolution from Council of General Synod giving the commission a mandate,” said Hiltz, who met with Welby on Dec. 17. “I gave him an update in terms of where the commission was at this particular moment, and that was as much as I could do. I think he appreciated that.” The commission is looking at a proposed change to Canon XXI to allow for same-sex marriage.

Hiltz also met with officers at the Anglican Communion Office and at Lambeth Palace, and noted that the question of the marriage canon came up more than once. “There’s a bit of anxiety in the Communion about what might happen here and the fallout that might come from that.”
Tragically both Fred Hiltz and many of the so-called primates and bishops within the ACoC, the TEC and other apostate leaders within the Anglican Communion have clearly rejected both the authority of Scripture and the uniqueness of Jesus Christ and have adopted the views of society. That includes the ABC. The time for serious housecleaning with the Communion has long since past and until these apostates repent and return to the Gospel there is no future for the Communion. Having the appointment of the ABC subject to the approval of the civil government basically means he will bow to the civil government and that is precisely what is happening.
It is so funny to watch these wicked men grovel before Caesar. Who is, of course, contemptuous of them.
It’s sort of like when Churchill called WWII “this current unpleasantness.”
Closing the gate after the horse is gone.

Is anyone going to point out to Hiltz that the 1998 Lambeth Resolution 1.10, which was passed, is still in effect? Guess not.
Anyone who thinks that Fred Hiltz or any other apostate has any concern for any resolution passed simply has closed eyes. Fred Hiltz and other apostates within the ACoC have no concern and their sole goal is to get what they want which is clearly contrary to the authority of Scripture.
