Lively Theological Debate Continues on Canada Marriage Canon

In advance of the General Synod of the Anglican Church of Canada, the Living Church Foundation’s Covenant blog posted a series of essays examining proposed changes to the marriage canon from a conservative perspective.

There is of course a different perspective, and the bloggers at Empire Remixed were quick to respond with a their own essays rebutting several of the Covenant pieces.

The change to the marriage canon was defeated at General Synod, but the debate continues, as Covenant bloggers have begun to respond to their critics.

Matthew Townsend is the former news editor of The Living Church and former editor of the Anglican Journal. He lives in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.
