Canadian Anglicans refuse bid to allow same-sex blessings
From the Anglican Journal
Deeply divided over liberalizing church attitudes toward homosexuals, Canadian Anglicans meeting at their triennial governing convention here voted to defer a decision on whether gay relationships should be blessed in church.
