Anglican Church of Canada rejects same-sex marriage 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Agence France-PresseThe Anglican Church of Canada — which has more than 500,000 members — has rejected a motion to modify its definition of marriage to embrace same-sex unions. To pass, the proposal required a two-thirds majority from each of three groups of delegates: lay people, clergy and bishops. Another motion passed at the Vancouver meetings did leave the church some room to maneuver, as it recognizes that each diocese can choose to handle same-sex marriage in their own way, meaning they can perform gay weddings. Canada legalized gay marriage in 2005.
