Canada GS2007: Synod approves St. Michael Report

Winnipeg
June 23, 2007

General Synod approved an amended resolution Saturday to accept the conclusion of the Primate's Theological Commission's St. Michael Report that the blessing of same-sex unions is a matter of doctrine but is not a core doctrine in the sense of being creedal, and that it should not be a communion-breaking issue.

Delegates voted their approval after hearing from Bishop Victoria Matthews of Edmonton, chair of the commission, and following a long debate that included a discussion of the meaning of "doctrine" and "core doctrine."
