Trinity Anglican Church in Cornwall, Ontario held its first Pride service this year.
The idea was to demonstrate a willingness to be “open and accessible to all”, a quality that was apparently eluding them before September 9th, 2018, the date of the first Pride service.
Oddly enough, in spite of drawing the circle wider, the church was more than half empty, confirming my suspicion that the wider the circle, the fewer the people:

Drawing the Circle Wide
Cornwall September 9, 2018 marked the inaugural Pride Service held at Trinity, Cornwall. It came just a year after Trinity and the parishes of Stormont Deanery became the first ‘church’ group—of any denomination—to march in the Cornwall Pride Parade. The idea of a ‘Pride Service’ arose out of discussions with the presidents of Diversity/Diversité Cornwall, Stephanie Nadeau and Liz Quenville, and Trinity’s Assistant Curate Mary-Cate Garden. It marked the growing bonds between the LGBTQ2+ community in Cornwall and Trinity.
The church plans to have more Pride services in the “hope that these will become a sign that the Anglican churches of Stormont Deanery are welcoming places.” Or as a sign of a desperate church willing to try anything but Christianity to entice people through its doors, depending on your perspective.
Nice looking building, what a shame.
The Eastern Orthodox would first unfrock the clergy involved, then take out and burn all the furniture, vessels etc., and finally demolish the church itself.
They are lucky they didn’t see a repeat of Leviticus 10:1-2.
Gosh! Can’t we have a few heterosexual pride services just to balance the books?
Just further proof that the ACoC now worships the “god of political expediency” and has totally rejected the GOD of the Scriptures. It is no surprise to see how our society has rejected many moral standards and is ready to approve many detestable practices when you have the so-called Christian churches rejecting the authority of Scripture.
In the photo I count all of 14 people, and that includes the woman pretending to be a priest. I also count 13 pews. I am guessing that within this building there are more pews, but that at this special service there were no more people.
What a happening place! So many people for this very special service the people responsible for this must have been very happy with themselves. Of course they were happy. The followers of Satan love to see Churches destroyed.
