From here:

The head of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada has given the election of the United Church of Canada’s (UCC) first openly gay moderator a resounding two thumbs up.

Although Archbishop Fred Hiltz, primate of the Anglican Church of Canada, could not be reached for comment, the Anglican Church of Canada was represented at the Ottawa meeting by Archdeacon Bruce Myers of the diocese of Quebec. Myers said he spoke with Dr. Paterson following his installation, informally extending the hand of fellowship and congratulations on behalf of the Anglican Church of Canada. The primate will offer more formal greetings when he returns from his travels, said Myers.

Having been beaten to the punch by a Lutheran, Fred Hiltz privately expressed his regret at not being Canada’s first homosexual Anglican Primate; Hiltz has promised to work harder on his inner gayness.

 

Heading over the cliff together

The Evangelical Lutheran Church of Canada and the Anglican Church of Canada have become increasingly cosy in the last few years.

Fred Hiltz, Anglican Primate and Susan Johnson, Lutheran National Bishop  delivered a joint Christmas message, Lutherans were present at the recent Anglican HOB meeting where lessons on diversity, inclusion, and how to break a moratorium while pretending to adhere to it were given.

Lutherans and Anglicans are considering sharing office space;  in Orillia they are sharing a church, both claim to be gaia green and they worship together.

The true bond, though, has been forged by the Lutheran church’s position on same-sex blessings, a position  which is at a similar stage to that of Anglicans: a determination to push ahead while creating an illusion of holding back.

Just as in the Anglican Church, Lutherans have suffered the consequence of their heresy in lost parishioners and revenue; so much so, that in a desperate bid to boost numbers, a merger with the Anglican Church of Canada is mentioned  in a non-derisory tone.

The question one has to ask is, would the combining of multiple church organisations bent on heresy hasten their demise as an arithmetic or geometric function of the number of joining entities?

One thing is certain, just as the demon possessed Gadarene swine hurtled to their doom, these two sorry excuses for churches will do likewise, all the while congratulating themselves on their prophetic insight as they sink into the abyss.
