From here:
The Anglican Church of Canada agreed last week not to take any legislative action in response to differing views on same-sex blessings.
Rather, they chose to have “more conversation,” said Archbishop Fred Hiltz, primate of the Anglican Church of Canada.
“That’s an action,” Hiltz insisted, according to the Anglican Journal.
Hiltz also noted other Anglican actions, some quite dramatic:
- The Archbishop of Canterbury will not trim his eyebrows this year: the indigenous nesting cormorants will not need to find a new home.
- The Anglican Church will not stop congratulating itself on having discovered the song “Amazing Grace”.
- Anglicans in the “conversation” will not stop talking even though they ran out of things to say 20 years ago; some will continue to talk after they die.
- Hiltz will not stop using the phrase “our beloved church” no matter how many people beg him to do so.
- The church will not stop suing people: it is part of the generous pastoral response to the call for moratoria.
- Bishop Michael Bird will not stop playing the bagpipes. Not until Rowan Williams trims his eyebrows.
There you have it: a frenzy of activity.
