The head of the Anglican Church of Canada has warned conservative members who split with the church over the issue of blessing same-sex unions that they will lose their church buildings and church funds.

``In our Anglican tradition, individuals who choose to leave the Church over contentious issues cannot take property and other assets with them,'' Archbishop Fred Hiltz said in a letter released Friday.

The letter comes two days after St. John's Shaughnessy, a large parish church in Vancouver, voted to leave the Anglican Church of Canada and affiliate itself with a South American Anglican church, which has a more conservative stance on homosexuality.

St. John's is one of the first Canadian Anglican churches to vote to split since the archbishop of South America's Province of the Southern Cone said in November that he would accept Canadian churches that are at odds with their more liberal bishops or national church.

1. Give them a refrigeator box and some tea candles

That's pretty much all they deserve, these most UN-christian christians.

2. Because it all about the property, isn't it?

Given the choice, I prefer no Jesus ventriloquists at all.

Like I need some creepy old geezer to tell me I'm OK.

3. Geezer...

The liberal Episcopal Churches of the U.S. and Canada are taking a brave pro-gay stance, and paying a heavy price for it. They deserve better than ignorant gays calling them "creepy old geezers." Get a clue.

4. A clue?

OK. Great.

We have the same right to beguile the peasants with God-talk.

Better to take a stand for gay rights without promoting superstition for a living.

6. Ignorant Gays........

I see that making your point by using "broad brush statements" is a gift.....


I have to assume that you are not of the Tribe, as if you were...... I'd bet you would have said "We In The GLBT Community" need to be aware of these good people, and their brave pro-gay stance instead......


So it begs the first question of: Would You Like To Be Called An "Ignorant Breeder"?


.... and moving on to the second question of: That if you feel so above it all......


(as I'm just positive that you must be one of the founding members of Mensa with your "ignorant Gays" comment)......


Why troll around an area where you will come in contact with lowly, ignorant Gays?


Is there something the wife should know Mary?


Of course, we here in the GLBT community are a charitable lot.... so maybe it's just a simple case of.....


You Have Gone About Making Your Point In An "Ignorant And Pinhead" Way......


Showing In The End....... That It Is Indeed You Who Is In Need Of The Clue.....
