Canadian Anglican Bishop: Same-Sex Blessings Will Continue

http://www.365gay.com/newscon05/05/051305bcAng.htm

Despite pleas from many of the world's top Anglican leaders, Bishop Michael Ingham said that the blessing of same-sex unions continues within his New Westminster Diocese.

Ingham endorsed an April 27 statement from a meeting in Windsor, Ontario, where Canada's Anglican bishops unanimously committed themselves "neither to encourage nor to initiate the use of such rites" until a nationwide synod settles the issue. The next synod session is in 2007.

But as Ingham sees it, the bishops agreed to take "no further actions beyond those already started" and left his diocese free to continue its practice of same-sex blessings.

2. What a waste of human energy this whole marriage issue is. It does

not affect anyone else when two people get married. So much smoke. And at the cost of a lump of flesh to the poor people attacked all the time.

At least we have one little piece of good news for our friends today.

And this really is what god & love is about to me..the agnostic. But I feel the love in a statement like this. Because they have not folded. Simply because they have not folded.
