Reuters: Some Canada Anglicans may reject same-sex moratorium

Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, leader of the global Anglican church, warned on Sunday that the 80-million-member church would be “in grave peril” if the U.S. and Canadian branches did not agree to moratoriums on same-sex blessings and on the ordination of gay bishops.

But the head of the Canadian church, Archbishop Fred Hiltz, told Reuters in a phone interview on Wednesday it would be especially tough for Bishop Michael Ingham of the British Columbia diocese of New Westminster to halt the homosexual blessings altogether.

    I’m shocked, shocked that TEC bishops can give the raspberry to their colleagues in AC (and the entire Christian Church) and just do exactly what they wish to do…Shocked! (sarcasm ON).

    What a waste of time and cash this Lambeth picnic has been.

    so much for indabalabashamalamadingdong. all that “listening” and “understanding” came in real handy, now didn’t it?

    They wont accept; let ’em leave! I believe the Archbishop will come to this conclusion – maybe!
