It\u2019s an odd thing for an organisation to celebrate apologising for abusing children but, then, the Anglican Church of Canada is<\/i> an odd thing.<\/p>\n
Here<\/a> they are celebrating a 20 year old apology for sexually, physically and emotionally abusing children. It\u2019s a nauseatingly self-congratulatory statement, awash with revolting faux-humility, lamenting the supposed attempt to remake the children in a white man’s image.<\/em><\/p>\n That was never the problem: the problem was that those who abused the children were not Christians; they couldn’t have been. The Anglican Church of Canada’s fault was – as it is today – allowing those who believed and peddled a false gospel to remain within its leadership ranks.<\/p>\n As if to compensate, the ACoC in its sacred circles and smudging ceremonies has, for some time, been attempting to remake itself in an aboriginal image.<\/p>\n Anglican Church in Canada celebrates the twentieth year since the apology to American Indians in Canada<\/b><\/p>\n Twenty years ago, on August 6 1993, the Anglican Church in Canada apologized to the Canadian-American Indians, who attended Anglican residential school in Canada.<\/p>\n Like the United States, Canada also did their share to destroy various nations and people, using both genocide and their own brand of Carlisle Schools, but Canada\u2019s government and Anglican Church gave a formal public apology.<\/p>\n Today, the Anglican Church in Canada celebrates the twentieth anniversary of the Church’s apology.<\/p>\n Archbishop Michael Peers listened the stories of the Natives and felt moved to make amends. During the National Native Convocation in Minaki, Ontario on August 6 1993 Peers, devoted to healing, gave an apology for how the Church treated the Natives in Anglican residential schools.<\/p>\n He made a series of \u201cI\u2019m sorry\u201d statements, which included an apology for the Church\u2019s sexual, physical, and emotional abuses, attempting to remake them into the White man\u2019s image, taking away their identities, and then stated that he understood words are meaningless and action means more.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It\u2019s an odd thing for an organisation to celebrate apologising for abusing children but, then, the Anglican Church of Canada is an odd thing.
