                        “Homosexuality: Reformed Church in Toronto Welcomes Active Gay

                        Leaders.”  Christianity Today, December 9, 2002, n.p.

                                                Brief electronic article mentions that the Toronto CRC is

                                                causing debate and some consternation among the larger

                                                membership of the Christian Reformed Church, which has

                                                279,000 members in Canada and the United States. It also

                                                points out that the 1973 North American synod established a

                                                policy that homosexual members are eligible for office, but

                                                “those who are actively homosexual are ineligible” [quotation from

                                                the article], and that the policy was reaffirmed in 2002.

                                                Short article noting outcomes on same-sex-blessing deliberations

at the General Synod of the Anglican Church of Canada meeting in

Winnipeg, June 24, and at the meeting, also in Winnipeg, of the

Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada, held at the same time.

Article states that the “General Synod [Anglican]…narrowly defeated a

resolution that would have allowed  dioceses to decide for themselves

whether or not to bless same-sex unions” and that the Lutherans “defeated

a proposal to introduce same-gender blessings by a vote of 200 to 181. The

Lutheran convention in 2005 had defeated a similar proposal.”
