Fred Hiltz\u2019s reaction \u2013 his public one, at least \u2013 to Archbishop Foley Beach\u2019s attending the Primates’ meeting next January was a hope that he could converse his way into \u201creconciliation\u201d with ACNA. To put it another way: he wants to have yet another shot at bamboozling the na\u00efve fundamentalist conservatives that their liberal brethren don\u2019t have horns after all.<\/p>\n
\u201cReconciliation\u201d the Hiltz way is for ACNA to peacefully co-exist with those who are in the process of draining the meaning out of marriage, who deny that Jesus is man\u2019s only means of salvation, who have replaced the Gospel with Marxist flavoured social action, who believe the church\u2019s primary calling is to the temporal rather than the eternal and who value money and survival over truth and integrity.<\/p>\n
GAFCON and ACNA can only reconcile with TEC and the ACoC if both repudiate their false teaching, an event that is unlikely to occur this side of the apocalypse.<\/p>\n
If Hiltz truly wants to reconcile,<\/em> he could, as a gesture of good faith, give ANiC parishes their buildings back.<\/p>\n From here<\/a>:<\/p>\n The Primate of the Anglican Church of Canada, the Most Revd Archbishop Fred Hiltz, welcomed the meeting as \u201ca good thing\u201d. Speaking on Tuesday, he described the decision to invite ACNA \u2014 it is understood that the representative will be present for one day, before the formal meeting gets under way \u2014 as \u201can opportunity for some conversation, in the ultimate hope that we might be able to find a way forward towards reconciliation\u201d.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Personally, I would like to see a repetition of the dramatic but, alas, unsuccessful attempt at the 1998 Lambeth conference by Nigeria\u2019s Bishop Emmanuel Chukwuma to exorcise demons of homosexuality<\/a> from Rev. Richard Kirker through the unsolicited laying on of hands. That might be too much to hope for.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Fred Hiltz\u2019s reaction \u2013 his public one, at least \u2013 to Archbishop Foley Beach\u2019s attending the Primates’ meeting next January was a hope that he could converse his way into \u201creconciliation\u201d with ACNA.
