We were delighted to have almost 50 people in attendance for last week’s panel discussion featuring Bishop Kevin Robertson, the Rev. Canon Judy Herron-Graham, and the Rev. Joanne Warman. It was an excellent, wide-ranging discussion on the topic of the progress of the Rainbow Community within the Anglican Church. Panelists shared their personal stories and their thoughts on the historical legacy of the Anglican church and the ongoing work of being a welcoming and affirming church in the current age.
Grateful to the Rainbow Alliance at All Saints’, Whitby for inviting me to be part of this discussion on LGBTQ2S+ inclusion in the Anglican Church. This affirming parish, and others that joined us tonight, are responding passionately to their baptismal call to seek and serve Christ in all persons and to respect the dignity of every human being.
