In its ceaseless quest for relevance, the Anglican Church of Canada has repudiated something developed in the 15th<\/sup> Century to justify colonising the New World.<\/p>\n

The ACoC will undoubtedly beat its collective breast over the sins of its ancestors; after all, it\u2019s so \u00a0much easier to confess the sins of one’s forebears than to repent of one’s own sin.<\/p>\n
