From Toronto-Never mind that it took a confusing and embarrassing recount to get to the final result. That will be quickly forgotten. This week’s decision by the Anglican Church of Canada to allow same-sex marriage is an important step toward making sure LGBT people feel accepted in all parts of society.
Those who are involved in the church — the third largest in the country, with more than half a million people in some 2,800 congregations — will certainly feel more welcome. Even more important is the message the decision sends to the wider world — that gay people are to be fully included in one of the most sacred sacraments of the Christian community. That will resonate far beyond the church itself.
