Anglicans discover mistake in same-sex marriage vote, leading to stunning reversal

From Toronto-


On Monday, Anglicans narrowly rejected a resolution to allow same-sex marriage.

But on Tuesday, questions about the integrity of the voting process emerged — leading to a stunning reversal of the result, just hours after several bishops, including Toronto Archbishop Colin Johnson, declared they’d move ahead with same-sex marriages in their jurisdiction regardless of the vote.

Some members attending the General Synod on Monday stood up to say their votes had not been recorded during voting, when passage of the resolution failed by a single vote.

“That is an issue of concern,” said Archbishop Fred Hiltz, primate of the Canadian church. “We cannot leave this synod with this kind of confusion.”
