[Virtue Online] May 27, 2005--Canada's primate, Archbishop Andrew Hutchison, is in the forefront of this challenge, willingly shouldering his responsibilities and upholding the Diocese of New Westminster. He was at our synod last month where we welcomed his presence and outspoken support.

In his sermon, Hutchison praised the contribution the Diocese of New Westminster has made to social justice, publicly honoured Bishop Michael's leadership and commitment over the blessing of same-sex unions, and sympathized over the hostility and abuse that our bishop has endured.

Then the primate made his position clear by saying, "I stand with your bishop."
