Anglican Church of Canada’s Marriage Canon Commission accused of bias – and they’ve barely begun

From here:

In a progress report to the Council of General Synod (CoGS) on the early work of the Commission on the Marriage Canon, chair Canon Robert Falby, noted that there had been “some controversy” over the membership of the committee after it was announced in early 2014.

Critics have said that the commission does not have a balance of members who are both for and against the resolution passed at General Synod 2013, which asked CoGS to prepare and present a motion to change the church’s Canon 21 on marriage “to allow the marriage of same-sex couples in the same way as opposite-sex couples” prior to the next General Synod in 2016.

In fact, Bishop Larry Robertson of the diocese of Yukon voiced those concerns, to CoGS meeting in Mississauga on May 3.

The only surprising thing about this, is that there is an extant ACoC clergyman naïve enough to believe that the Marriage Canon Commission is anything other than a decoy to lull a few remaining orthodox clerics into a mental torpor in preparation for the predestined outcome of the marriage canon vote in 2016 and 2019.
