Bishop Cronyn Memorial Church in the Diocese of Huron is inclusive:
Bishop Cronyn Memorial’s core values speak to inclusivity. The church treats all as made in God’s image, regardless of race, gender, orientation, age, ability, nationality or economic class.
It is so inclusive that on November 7th it is being deconsecrated due to a lack of attendees. Shortly after that, on November 19th a Transgender Day of Remembrance will be held in the building. I don’t suppose the two are connected.
The church was named after Benjamin Cronyn, London’s first resident Anglican clergyman and the first bishop in the Huron Diocese. Cronyn had an eventful and colourful life but I don’t suppose that even his most fevered nightmares could have conjured up the antics that would be embraced by a church that was to bear his name.
