[Canon Kenneth Kearon]… said those who do not share the faith and order of the Anglican Communion should not be making decisions on matters in the Communion. \u201cWe\u2019ve asked them to be consultants and we would hope that they would participate in the conversations and discussions,\u201d\u009d he added.<\/p>\n
Canon Kearon\u2019s announcement looked beyond The Episcopal Church to Canada as well as to the Southern Cone in South America. Canon Kearon has written to Archbishop Fred Hiltz, primate of the Anglican Church of Canada, to ask whether or not the General Synod or House of Bishops has formally adopted policies authorizing same-sex blessings.<\/p>\n
In his presidential address to synod last week, Archbishop Hiltz made it clear that the answer to that question currently is \u201d\u02dcno.\u2019 However, members of General Synod 2010 are still in the process of discussing the issue of same-sex blessings until the triennial meeting ends Jun. 11.<\/p>\n
