Unlike the ACoC and TEC who ceaselessly prattle about social justice while studiously ignoring the systematic killing of millions of unborn children every year, ACNA takes a stand against abortion.
The best that TEC can do comes from Rev Katherine Ragsdale who has declared that abortions are a blessing and abortionists, heroes; the ACoC is too timid to say anything.
From here:
March for Life 2014
An invitation to the March for Life from Archbishop Duncan
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
In Deuteronomy 30:19 Moses says, “This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live.”
This exhortation reminds us of the profound importance God places on life, especially our children, born and unborn. Furthermore, the Canons of the Anglican Church in North America include this declaration of our commitment to life: God, and not man, is the creator of human life. The unjustified taking of life is sinful. Therefore, all members and Clergy are called to protect and respect the sanctity of every human life from conception to natural death (Canon II.8.3).
There is going to be a march in Ottawa at the beginning of May. I will pass on details when I know more.
What else can you expect from a so-called church that denounces the scriptures and is fraught with fraudulent clergy (including so-called bishops). The TEC and ACoC has clearly demonstrated their allegiance is with what is deceitfully referred to a “political correctness”.
Isaiah 57, especially verses 1 – 13. Did Isaiah ever live in 20th century Canada? Seems like it.
This is good to see as many churches seem to be afraid to stand for life nowadays. I am particularly impressed that the ACNA value the “sanctity of every human life from conception to natural death” as I could never understand how a church can be against abortions and for the death penalty (or vice versa). While the article also says that a similar statement was presented at the last Gafcon, it is not agreed to by everyone. Apparently the Primate in Nigeria has made statements supporting the death penalty. I hope the ACNA is more consistent on this. I would be even more impressed if they joined in marches against the death penalty as well.
I would gladly march in such a parade EdmontonAnglican
