We the Bishops of the Anglican Network in Canada are truly saddened by the decision made by the Anglican Church of Canada at their 41st General Synod to change the Canon (and definition) of Marriage. This action is clearly in contrast to the scriptural teaching of marriage and moves the Anglican Church of Canada apart from the Anglican Communion worldwide.
To knowingly vote to change the Canon of Marriage only months after the Archbishops of the Anglican Communion have voted to impose sanctions on the United States' Episcopal Church for making the same decision is clearly in defiance of biblically faithful Anglicans worldwide – to say nothing of the evident disdain for the authority of God's Written Word.
Having lived through this tearing of the Anglican fabric, our hearts go out to all biblically faithful Anglicans in Canada.
