Update on Canadian General Synod

[Anglican Mainstream] 23 June 2007--Today was a quiet day… until the evening. The Anglican and Lutheran Churches worshipped and celebrated together during the day. Late in the afternoon, the traditionalist wing of the Lutheran’s, known as Solid Ground, joined AEC delegates and volunteers for dinner, fellowship and mutual encouragement.

In the evening, the General Synod voted overwhelmingly against an amendment to a motion which would have had them “receive” the “Windsor Report Response Report” rather than “endorse” it as the official Canadian response to the Windsor Report. We are very grateful for the many delegates who went to the microphones to point out the inadequacies of the motion without the amendment.
