Not nearly as conservative as they once were. If I were you,and considering a move to the Anglican (in which I was originally baptised), I would take a good, close look at the doctrine and the expression thereof. The Anglican church in Canada supports homosexual members, as does the Lutheran, although I don't think it goes so far as to allow gay ministers, or homosexually-married minister, but I could be wrong. This is not a case of 'love the sinner, hate the sin.' I DO know that the Lutheran, in Canada, preaches total tolerance of homosexuality and considers the abhorence of sodomy in the Bible to be 'old fashioned' and no longer relevant... 'pick and choose' Christianity.
There is a big difference between the Anglican-named churches in the U.S. (where the original church is called "Episcopal"), which are quite conservative, and Anglican-named churches elsewhere.
I think Peach may have been referring to The Continuing Anglican Churches which are still traditional and conservative. They retain Anglican liturgy and traditional belief but are not in the Anglican Communion, ie the Archbishop of Canterbury. They separated back in the 70's over the ordination of women and problems they saw in the new prayerbook.
The Lutheran Church - Canada considers sodomy to be a sin, and does not consider Biblical teachings to be irrelevant. To the contrary, they consider the Bible to be the perfect Word of God.
When most people speak of switching from Episcopalian to Anglican, they are talking about switching to orthodox Anglican churches such as the Province of Rwanda, led by The Most Reverend Emmanuel Kolini , or the Province of Nigeria, led by The Most Reverend Peter Jasper Akinola -- NOT to the moribund Anglican Church of Canada or the Church of England. The African bishops are constantly attacked as "homophobes." In reality, they are obedient Christians. The Nigerians are especially suffering from attacks by their Islamic countrymen, whose hatred of Christians is partially fueled by the Western church's lax morals.
