Archbishop Hiltz remains deeply committed to hearing the diversity of perspectives in our church about this matter as reflected in his ongoing conversations with the Bishops of our Church, Canadian participants at the Anglican Consultative Council, Canadian and African bishops in dialogue, from theological students and faculty, and from members of the Council of the General Synod among others.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI left the gathering more convinced than ever the need for the Church to take opportunity to hear first-hand the experiences and longings of LGBTQ persons,\u201d Hiltz said. \u201cSo often we speak\u00a0<em>about<\/em> instead of <em>with<\/em> the LGBTQ community.
