Perhaps, Kanada can marry mAssHoleChewzits and Kalifornia and rid the rest of the US of their filthy degenerate ways.

Looks like the acc just hit the same iceberg as ecusa - I would submit that it's now just a matter of time, as the Christians bail out to alternate oversight, and the heretics continue to rearrange the deck chairs.

Y'know it might be interesting if someone had the data, to do a map showing the Christian and heretical portions of both ecusa and the acc in a geographic manner.

Sin cannot be sanctified. They are fooling themselves.

Exactly. There will never be God's blessing for any sin, and no sin is ever sanctified.

This amendment was snuck in under the guise of a "group hug" and runner-up prize for the gays and lesbian Anglicans. Instead, it's going to break up the ACC and split the ACC off from the rest of the Anglican communion.

I think you would find, for ECUSA, mainly the same areas where Gore won the last elections - the liberal-voting east and west coast states. For the ACC, you would see the Quebec and Ontario eastern provinces and the British Columbia west coast. Again, the "liberal" areas. No coincidence. The "heartland" states and provinces are conservative-leaning, both in religion and politics.

Is it just me or does it sometimes seems like the four horsemen are saddling-up as we speak.

Sanctity: Holiness of life or disposition; saintliness.

Yes and no. It's sad because the Canadian revisionists just couldn't stop themselves from poking the rest of the Communion in the eye. This is clearly a case of Canada "knowing better," in the same sense that St. Paul speaks of it in 1 Corinthians 8:9-13.

But I think it's also going to stiffen the resolve of the Lambeth Commission, which is on balance a good thing. This is an obvious end run (a gambit to change the language, but not the substance), and the Synod's next step is likewise obvious. Clearly Eames, et al., are going to have to take a much stronger line than they would have had the Canadians decided to hold off on this vote.

Yet another church which is not Bible based. And what do you bet they were all wearing those adorable "I am canadian" t-shirts when they voted. It is over for them. Over.

Don't forget there were a lot of Canadian conservative bishops, priests, and laity trying to prevent this. I heard a rumor there was a limited walk-out (permanent or temporary?) after the motion passed. It's just that the liberals have the majority but the conservative minority have screamed a lot about what's been happening.

So what do these people who screamed do now? They better be moving on, quickly. Away from this awful situation. Let's see if they do.
