sad and disappointing
The Anglican Church of Canada has decided against offering blessing ceremonies to same-sex couples. from the BBC
Of all the other members of the Anglican Communion that I would have hoped would be sensible about this, I'm disappointed that the Canada church has chosen, at least for the moment, to remain mired in discrimination. I also find it striking that the clergy and the laity could vote in favour of a motion and be overturned by the bishops. Doesn't seem to me to be a very good system.
