The Anglican Church of Canada has failed to put the debate over gay marriage to rest once and for all.
On the second last day of General Synod, a tri-annual gathering of clergy and lay leadership aimed at setting church policy, members essentially agreed to disagree on the fractious issue that’s torn the church apart in recent years.
At the end of the day, the church resolved to continue to “engage in theological and scriptural study of human sexuality” and to include the “voices of gays and lesbians” in those discussions.
But after numerous discussions, which were conducted in small groups throughout the nine-day event in Halifax, the church ultimately decided not to make a “legislative decision” on the issue of same-sex unions.
No convictions they are willing to stand up for, eh?
