From Canada-The Anglican Church of Canada will maintain its traditional definition of marriage after a vote to amend the marriage canon failed to pass at General Synod 2019.
The 42nd General Synod voted against Resolution A052-R2, which would have amended the marriage canon to allow for same-sex marriage, after the resolution failed to pass by a two-thirds majority in all three orders. While two-thirds of the Order of Laity (80.9%) and Order of Clergy (73.2%) voted in favour, less than the required two-thirds (62.2%) voted in favour of the resolution in the Order of Bishops.
The final results of the vote, which took place on the evening of July 12 at the Sheraton Vancouver Wall Centre, were as follows: The Order of Laity saw 89 members (80.9%) vote Yes and 21 members (19.1%) vote No, with one abstention. The Order of Clergy had 60 members (73.2%) voting Yes, 22 members (26.8%) voting No, and two abstentions. In the Order of Bishops, 23 members (62.2%) voted Yes and 14 members (37.8%) voted No, with two abstentions.

Dear Lord, through the intercession of Your Blessed Mother, may You have mercy on this largely misguided communion. Thankfully Your truth won the day on this occasion. It must be time, O dear Father God, Yahweh, to raise up yet more erstwhile defenders of the Faith and of Your truth. Deign, O my beloved Lord and God, to be merciful on the people. For the sake of the remnant, O Beloved Lord, Jesus, be appeased on the this occasion and renew Your strength like the eagle. Look intently uponn the Immaculate Heart of Your Beloved Mother, Mary, Ever Virgin, and find therein the strength to endure, to persist (dear St Joseph, my blessed patron, intercede for me for the love you have for Jesus and mary that I may have the grace to not peter out but that I may claim the victory that Your foster Son won at so great a price. Remember Your little ones, Lord, amongst whom I count myself. Save me O Lord, for I am poor and needy. Bless me, O Jesus, that the Father may raise me up. May Your precious blood appease His Blessed self, O sovereign Lord Jesus, both now and forever.Amen.
