Dean Peter Elliott fills in for Michael Ingham

Bishop Michael Ingham has retired. The Very Rev. Peter Elliott has taken over Ingham’s administrative duties in the Diocese of New Westminster. I am unsure whether this is a harbinger of Elliott’s eventual installation as the next bishop and he is getting in some practice, whether it means he won’t be bishop and he really is just filling in, or whether it is of no significance at all in the matter of bishopric succession.

I really can’t understand why anyone would want to be the bishop of such a fractious, financially unstable diocese; I suppose the lust for power is blind to such trifles.

The Very Rev. Peter Elliott, Dean of the Diocese of New Westminster and rector of Christ Church Cathedral became Administrator of the Diocese and took over the day-to-day administrative functions of the Office of the Bishop assisted by Synod Staff. During the month of September and in collaboration with Synod Staff, the Nominations/Search Committee will produce materials both electronic and print to communicate information about the Diocese of New Westminster (Diocesan Profile) to encourage nominations.

Dean Peter Elliot appointed to TEC special task force for church structural reform

It seems that The Episcopal Church, in the name of diversity, wants to “include some persons with critical distance from the Church’s institutional leadership” on its task force. Other than Michael Ingham, I can’t think of anyone less distanced from TEC’s leadership. Peter Elliot is extremely liberal, a partnered homosexual and at the forefront of the Anglican Church of Canada’s rush to become an exclusive church for the alphabet soup community.

From here:

In addition, two partners from other Anglican Communion provinces have been appointed: the Very Rev. Peter Elliott of the Anglican Church of Canada, dean of the Diocese of New Westminster and rector of Christ Church Cathedral in Vancouver; and the Rev. Sathianathan Clarke, Th.D., of the Church of South India, who is the Bishop Sundo Kim Chair in World Christianity and professor of theology, culture and mission at Wesley Theological Seminary.
Resolution C095
According to resolution C095, “The membership of the Task Force shall reflect the diversity of the Church, and shall include some persons with critical distance from the Church’s institutional leadership.”

Rev. Peter Elliott peddles the canard that gay marriage has made Canada more tolerant

From here:

Gay marriage has strengthened Canadian society, an Anglican Church leader visiting Dunedin’s St Paul’s Cathedral said yesterday.

The Very Rev Dr Peter Elliott, rector of Christ Church Anglican Cathedral, in Vancouver, preached in St Paul’s Cathedral yesterday.

His visit is part of the Anglican Consultative Council (ACC) under way in Auckland.

While he did not believe in commenting on a country’s domestic politics, Dr Elliott, who is gay, told the Otago Daily Times legalising gay marriage had increased respect and tolerance in Canada.

In actual fact, the crusade for normalising homosexuality in Canada has resulted in the suppression of free speech, intolerance for any view that deviates from the received dogma that homosexuality is a wholesome lifestyle choice and persecution of those who will not bow before the altar of sexual inversion.

As Michael Coren notes here, there have been between 200 and 300 proceedings against critics of same-sex marriage; the Roman Catholic bishop of Calgary, Fred Henry, was threatened with litigation and charged with a human-rights violation after he wrote a letter to local churches stating standard Catholic teaching on marriage; marriage commissioners have been threatened with losing their jobs if they refuse to perform same-sex marriages and a Knights of Columbus hall was fined for not allowing a lesbian couple to celebrate their “marriage” in the hall. Schools – even private schools – will, in all probability, be prevented from expressing their disapproval of homosexual behaviour.

Canada allows freedom of conscience on a person’s view of homosexuality, as long as the person is prepared to live with violating his conscience by not acting on it.
