A Canadian Anglican Explains: “Where Do I Stand (On the issue of Same-sex Blessings)” [Part Three]

[Stand Firm] 17 Sep 2007--It means genuinely welcoming into our Church all sinners including homosexuals, wherever they are on their personal journey. In our commitment to our Lord, we are all brothers and sisters in Christ. All of us need to recognize that our status as redeemed members of the family of God comes from Jesus’ sacrifice on our behalf not from our own merits or by the denial of our sin. We cannot solve our estrangement from God by offering band-aids of personal affirmation when the radical healing of forgiveness is what we all need. In the end denying this need cuts us off from the only real hope that is available to us.
