A plot is afoot to prepare delegates for something other than a yes or no decision for the marriage canon vote – resolution C003 – on Monday. The liberals fear that the vote will not go their way so machinations are underway to produce the desired result no matter what the outcome of the vote. Something less “binary”.
From here:
But he [Dean Iain Luke] added that given the deep divisions that exist within the Canadian Anglican church on matters of doctrine, the church should look at new ways of framing its decision-making process that do not inevitably lead to a binary of winners and losers.
It was a position Ambidge agreed with.
“I don’t think the Westminster parliamentary system is serving us well for things other than budgets,” he said. “For things that hit us not in the head or the heart but the soul, I think we need to learn a whole lot from the Indigenous people, because Westminster is really not helping us at all.”
Here is the fellow on the left after he slipped into something more comfortable – less binary, perhaps – for the Pride Parade:
Instead of winners and losers, how about the binaries of good and evil, right and wrong, Christ and satan? Not to mention, male and female.
Malachi offers no such multifarious choice in the lowering shadows of the four-hundred year Divine ‘time-out’:
“O ye Priests…My Covenant was with him of life and peace; and I gave them to him for the fear wherewith he feared Me, and was afraid before My Name.
The Law of Truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not found in his lips:he walked with Me in peace and equity, and did turn many away from iniquity.
For the Priest’s lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek The Law* at his mouth: for he IS the messenger of The LORD of Hosts.
But ye are departed out of The Way; ye have caused many to stumble at The Law..
Because The LORD hath been Witness between thee and the wife of thy youth…
And did not He make one?…And wherefore one?
That He might seek a Godly seed…”
+ Malachi chs 1-4; * 2:11;17 “…an abomination is committed in Israel and in Jerusalem…when ye say…evil is good…”
