Caissa posted the following on the Canadian thread in All Saints, but it really belongs here in Dead Horses:
The Anglican Dioceses of Ottawa and Montreal are going to move ahead with same-sex marriages.

And....that's no longer necessary because the ACof Canada just did a recount and the item has now passed.

It should also be noted that a change to the canon requires votes in two successive General Synods, so it won't be (in theory) effective until 2019. Others have commented that at least two bishops were going ahead, even when they thought that the motion had been defeated.

I understand that the Chancellor has opined that there is nothing in the marriage canon as written that precludes same-sex marriages from taking place in the ACC.

Sort of - +Ottawa and +Toronto at least have indicated that even with the corrected result, they will put things into motion now, and not wait for 2020.

I read the Chancellor's statement and am puzzled as to his thinking. I don't know where the Chancellor got this from-- he may not have read Canon XXI carefully; in the preface, which is directive in intent, there are two specific references to husband and wife. As well, the marriage rite itself (p. 564) in the BCP, which remains the authoritative standard of doctrine and practice, also refers to man and woman.
This is why amendments to Canon XXI were required-- if there had been nothing in the canon precluding same-sex marriage, then they could have left it alone and just done a mind-of-the-synod motion, needing just the support of one synod vote, and not two successive synods.

So does this mean that the Canadian Anglican Church is due a visit by African Primates or are they already being pushed aside?

I think ACNA is already stomping around Canada so GAFCON are fully prepared to start pretending that the Anglican Church in Canada isn't Anglican.

What is more relevant than ACNA's stomping around-- a topic on which I have become far more versed that I like after their Ottawa antics-- is how the two-three Arctic aboriginal-majority dioceses respond. The Bishop of the Yukon left Synod complaining about how the dissenting minority was treated and I know that at least one of the Arctic bishops is most unhappy. I hear varying opinions about how the near-Arctic aboriginal-heavy dioceses are responding.
Those outside Canada might not be aware that Canadian dioceses retain a high degree of autonomy and that, generally, national canons do not apply unless accepted by dioceses.

The comments from Abp Fred Hiltz re bullying during the synod make me want to know more: who, what about - is it this?

Apart from Susie Leafe, who were the other members of GS who refused to take-part in the Shared Conversations sessions?

How sad the comments underneath, and how ignorant some are. I think there is one reference in the Bible to the destruction of Sodom being for men wanting to rape angels, and the rest are about the breach of the laws of hospitality. (I may not have the education in the Bible that some here do, but I bothered to read it for myself on this subject.)
