The Anglicans are playing hardball in their quest to normalize homosexuality. An Anglican church in Canada refused to accede to the demands of its bishop to accept same-sex unions and promptly was shut down:
An Anglican church in Canada has been closed for refusing to support same-sex unions in defiance of its bishop.
But the Rev James Wagner said he would celebrate Mass on Christmas as planned despite the decision by Bishop Michael Ingham to "terminate" the Holy Cross church in Abbotsford, British Columbia.
"As far as the diocese is concerned, we do not exist. We are a non-entity," Wagner said, "but I will not abandon these people. I will continue to pastor and pray for them in the midst of this crisis."
Meanwhile, the Archbishop of York thinks those opposed need to stop fussing about it:
The intense row over sexuality in the Anglican Church has risked it losing sight of its world priorities, the Archbishop of York has warned.
Dr David Hope, in his annual Christmas sermon at York Minster, called on the Church to live "together with and in difference" with one another....
Dr Hope said: "Many quite outside and beyond the Church have looked on in disbelief wondering quite what all the fuss is about and asking whether in so focusing on this one issue (human sexuality) almost to the exclusion of all others we have not lost sight of more pressing and vital priorities for our world and its peoples."
That's right you people who dare believe in Biblical morality--just stop fussing!
The Anglican and Episcopal split is well under way.
