[The Living Church] 16 Oct 2007--The Archbishop of Canterbury will welcome Canada’s new primate, Archbishop Fred Hiltz, to Lambeth Palace for a private meeting Tuesday. Archbishop Hiltz said recently he would raise the issue of gay blessings as a pastoral measure during the meeting.
The meeting was scheduled before the Diocese of Ottawa approved a resolution supporting same-sex blessings during its annual synod Oct. 13, becoming the first diocesan legislature in Canada to address the issue since the nationwide General Synod approved seemingly contradictory resolutions last summer.
By a margin of 177-97 delegates approved a resolution Saturday asking that priests be given the right to approach the bishop for permission for such a blessing, should their parish approve.
