[The Living Church] 5 Nov 2008--The House of Bishops of the Anglican Church of Canada acknowledged at the end of a five-day meeting on Oct. 31 that while a majority affirm their commitment to the three-part moratoria proposed by the Windsor Continuation Group at this summer’s Lambeth Conference, a growing number of dioceses are taking steps to authorize same-sex blessings.

The bishops spent considerable time discussing the moratoria on approving same-sex blessings, the consecration of person in same-sex relationships to the episcopate, and cross-border incursions. According to a statement released by the bishops, they also called for the establishment of diocesan commissions to discuss the matter of same-sex blessings in preparation for debate at General Synod 2010.
