					<description><![CDATA[So what is next - anything goes if  a Priest or Bishop agrees. Is it going to be Church with no principles. If a Priest  can divorce and remarry why not others - carrying it further why not two wives or husbands ?   If one is not able to fulfill their duties due to physical or other reasons can they have another partner ?  You have to have absolutes as an organization , but those who do not follow it can be part of the church without being anyway as a office bearer. After all Christ said to the women caught in adultery &quot;Neither do I condemn you, but go &#038; sin no more.&quot; We have to let them come to a sense  of sin ,but not approve of their lifestyle.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://anglicanjournal.com/amended-marriage-canon-would-not-leave-traditionalists-open-to-human-rights-complaints-chancellor/#comment-7964&quot;&gt;Marg Anderson&lt;/a&gt;.

Marg,
Yes.  My predecessor steadfastly refused, for 28 years, to marry divorced persons.  On at least one occasion, there was a complaint to the bishop, without any action taken by the bishop (who was himself divorced and remarried).     More recently, I am aware of a priest in our diocese who refused to perform an inter-faith marriage; the bride was upset, but there was no recourse against the priest.   I myself have twice refused to perform marriages where it appeared to me that the primary purpose was for immigration, and the bona fides of the couple seeking a committed life-long union were doubtful.  Clergy already have wide discretion in declining to officiate marriages, and nothing will change.  (However, I think the proposed amendment goes too far in allowing bishops to decide clergy&#039;s conscience for them  -- clergy should have the right to say yes even if the bishop is opposed)]]></description>

Our bishops have no problem with clergy who drop the Creed from the liturgy on a regular basis, or appear on CBC Radio&#039;s &#039;Tapestry&#039; to proclaim themselves to be a druid and that Christ is their chief druid, so I can&#039;t see why this would be a issue considered worthy of their notice.

					<description><![CDATA[How about if a priest said no to his/her Bishop.  If the Bishop said in their Diocese same sex marriages are to be approved and preformed and the Priest said no.  Would the priest’s job then be protected?]]></description>
