The synod of the diocese of the Arctic, meeting in Iqaluit, Nunavut from May 27 to June 3, passed a motion criticizing decisions by four dioceses of the Anglican Church of Canada that support blessing same-sex unions.
“Synod expressed great disappointment as some diocesan synods have decided to move forward with approving the blessing of same-sex civil marriages, after General Synod 2007 (made) it clear that this would not be allowed until the Lambeth Conference had time to discuss the issues this summer,” said a press release issued by the diocese of the Arctic synod. “This then indicates that Canadians are not serious about unity elements that hold the church together.”
It also passed a motion expressing “strong support ”¦ for those in the Southern cone dioceses, recognizing them as members of the Anglican Communion.”
More ignorant savages with their primitive ideas that the Bible might actually mean what it says, eh?
I for one am delighted that the black, brown, yellow and red people of the world are finally willing to tell over-educated, over-fed white folks that they’re going the wrong way, and that their post-modern-yet-Edenic rebelliousness has important eternal consequences.
Sorry, their voice obviously needs more development before they will be taken seriously by babbling bishops and egocentric scholars in our refined Church. The 2/3rds world doesn’t get it….thank God.
