From Toronto-News that the Anglican Church had voted against same sex-marriage came as a shock and huge disappointment to many churchgoers over the weekend.
In Toronto, it was particularly confusing, since the Diocese of Toronto has an openly-gay bishop — Kevin Robertson — who’s well liked and highly respected and was married in a same-sex ceremony in St. James Cathedral in the presence of at least two bishops and an archbishop last year.
After a general synod vote approved same-sex marriage in 2016, Archbishop Colin Johnson issued guidelines for priests to perform them.
It was welcomed by churchgoers and priests alike.
Many priests are gay. Some of them have spent a lifetime pretending to be someone other than who they are simply because they’re people of great faith who’ve put their personal lives aside in order to serve God and their church.
