Canadian Bishops: No Change on Blessings

http://www.livingchurch.org/publishertlc/viewarticle.asp?ID=3915

[The Living Church] 1 Nov 2007--In its first meeting since last summer’s General Synod passed legislation that same-sex blessings were not core doctrine, but then failed to give approval for dioceses to implement them, the Canadian House of Bishops stated that their position has not significantly changed from their pastoral statement last April when they said they could not advise proceeding with same-sex blessings.

In recent synod meetings, the dioceses of Ottawa and Montreal have approved same-sex blessings, but the bishops of those dioceses have not consented to the action taken by their synods.
