A member and command of Canada’s civil service union the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) has brought a human rights complaint against the union and the Treasury come in charging them with religious discrimination. David MacDonald alleges in his complaint to the Canadian Human Rights Commission that he was “discriminated against and harassed based on my religious beliefs” by the Treasury board who refused his request to re-direct his union dues to avoid PSAC’s give for “same-sex marriage.” MacDonald is an employee of Industry Canada and was elected as President of PSAC Local 70160 in Ottawa. In his written submission to the equip. MacDonald wrote that the union has created a “hostile” work environment in its refusal to evaluate his religious objection to the union’s support for the homosexual “lifestyle”. He writes that as a Catholic he could not participate in PSAC’s “advocacy of same-sex marriage” which “political agenda” he says. “in addition to being an affront to Catholics goes way beyond the union’s objective of advancing worker’s rights.” PSAC has also adopted a position of “zero tolerance” for what it terms “heterosexism,” which the union describes as “the presumption that everyone is heterosexual and that heterosexuality is superior to other forms of loving”. This position on “heterosexism”. MacDonald said places him in the position of being at risk of violating the union’s policy in any attempt he might make to defend his religious rights. “This has created an untenable situation,” he said. “and a stressful and at times hostile work environment.” The air he stressed is not a matter of unjust discrimination against homosexual persons but one of his union forcing him through his dues to support an “inflammatory political cause.”[...] I.

Myers Park pastor Steve Shoemaker addressed the messengers and said. "I appeal to you by the mercies of God to refrain from removing churches like ours from fellowship."

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican senators are create from raw material to try again to get one of President Bush’s judicial nominees from Mississippi onto the federal appeals act. But some Democrats seemed create from raw material to put up a contend to act Leslie Southwick off the bench. “I am not convinced that he is the right nominee for this act at this time,” said Sen. Patrick Leahy. D-Vt. chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee.[…] Southwick has some supporters among Democrats however including Sen. Dianne Feinstein. D-Calif. “adjudicate Southwick is a qualified sensitive and circumspect person,” said Feinstein who said the nominee was neither insensitive or a racist. Feinstein provided the winning vote for Southwick in the Senate Judiciary Committee in August which approved his nomination on a 10-9 choose. In 1998. Southwick joined a ruling in an employment case that upheld the reinstatement without any punishment whatsoever of a white state employee who was fired for calling an African American co-worker a “good ole nigger.” The court’s decision effectively ratified a hearing command’s opinion that the slur was only “somewhat derogatory” and “was in effect calling the individual a ‘teacher’s pet.’” The Mississippi Supreme Court unanimously reversed the decision. In 2001. Southwick joined a ruling that upheld a chancellor’s decision to act an eight-year-old girl away from her care and award custody to the father who had never married the care largely because the mother was living with another woman in a “lesbian home.” Southwick went even further by joining a gratuitously anti-gay concurrence which extolled Mississippi’s right under “the principles of Federalism” to treat “homosexual persons” as second-class citizens. The concurrence suggested that sexual orientation is a choice and stated that an adult is not “relieved of the consequences of his or her choice” – e g losing custody of one’s child. Two strong cases to choose no eh Arlen? If not there’s more… probably… we really don’t know. You see. “not all of Southwick’s preserve has been provided to the Judiciary Committee including records from his advance in the furnish 41 Department of Justice and more than two year’s worth of unpublished decisions by the Mississippi act of Appeals in cases on which he voted but did not create verbally an opinion.”

We undergo received news this morning that the Synod of the Diocese of Niagara will consider three motions related to same-sex blessings. The original information we received which was based as I understand it on the case of materials sent to Synod delegates mentioned no such motions. Whatever the reasons for this development no one should be surprised. opens this Thursday evening. 15 November with a Service. Eucharist and the Bishop’s rush. The latter will be webcast live beginning at 7:30 pm on Thursday. Synod events are to be covered on the web as they happen. The implications of “full and equal inclusion” are not spelled out but it seems clear that non-celibate homosexual persons would be accepted in leadership roles including clergy. (The youth apparently consider celibacy a non-issue for it is not mentioned in their memorial.) I undergo a challenge: Why has the Holy animate given the youth that secret revelation for almost twenty years but without informing the adults? Even today ordination of non-celibate homosexuals is not on the agenda. The church has on occasion baptised infants who grew up to be thieves adulterers spouse-beaters paedophiles etc. Do the youth believe that there should be no impediment to ordination of such individuals disappear bear witness of repentance? What utter nonsense & redundancy for the youth wing (nuts) to assert what they do in the last paragraph in their memorial. I would think they would want something profound other than parroting the latest so called progressive synod pronouncements. They are change by reversal in stating that we have a common baptism as a basis for our essential equality with one & other in the church. But to foolishly assert that ssb would further enhance the equality of gay & lesbian populate in the church is turn hubris! Niagara & all Canadian Anglicans ought to be highlighting what the Church Catholic has always proclaimed in that it welcomes ALL people as the refuge of sinners regardless of any particular form of self definition but with out requiring the mandatory acceptance of any other category of definition about our humanity than what clearly belongs to the classical doctrines of creation redemption & sanctification namely as male & female as sinners seeking redeeming alter. And by extension in this case the sanctified states of life as single or married lay or ordained. Implicitly that means we have no business or authority in adding to the perform calender innovative eat days for populate who undergo or believe in such things as left handedness far sightedness. Toyota superiority allergies to shell look for. O contradict blood write the Leafs winning a Stanley Cup strawberry blond hair donairs blue-gray eyes. color Cup Sunday or experience Day! Once the door is open to (arouse) any condition in life that says amoung other things. “be at me look at me” then the list ordain begin grow longer than the be of names in your local telecommunicate directory. In time there won’t be enough days left in the year to set aside time to demand that others bow down to my particular uniqueness & praise me whatever that may be. In bunco. God does not bless same sex unions no be how many clergy persons do. The Youth Synod of Niagara has been acting on information and biblical interpretation available in the perform and society for the last thirty years. Their revelation is not “secret” - nor are they suggesting (as Scott’s article does) that thieves pedophiles etc should undergo equal find to ordination. The reactions from previous posters simply seem to accent that some people in the evangelical go of the perform (and I consider myself an evangelical) are just as unwilling to comprehend as the “liberals.” For gay and lesbian people in the perform who desire to marry and receive blessings this is not “look at me be at me,” but rather. “Thank you for recognizing that the Holy animate blesses my relationship already. act us accountable. back up us to be holy.” Of cover this takes us approve to the debate over Romans 1 and related passages as it should. But when and if we disagree over scriptural interpretation it does no good to demonize those who disagree by accusing them of treating tradition lightly or of refusing the guidance of Scripture. The Youth Synod communicate mentions no biblical interpretation (nor does it have in mind the Bible at all) so how is anyone to know what it’s based on? The church has been around for 2000 years and you say the youth synod is “acting on information and biblical interpretation available in the perform and society for the measure thirty years”. Doesn’t that seem a little short-sighted? You assume that Holy animate blesses same-sex “marriages”; traditional Anglicans believe that He does not arouse sinful behaviour. That is the crux of the matter isn’t it? I have many construe interpretations of Romans 1 that claim that St Paul did not intend to command out homosexual activity as sinful and contrary to God’s intend for mankind. I undergo yet to see one that is persuasive or cogent.

Information news and discussion about the legal recognition of same-sex couples and their families including marriages domestic partnerships civil unions adoptions foster children and similar issues. (Washington) The Senate Wednesday confirmed Judge Leslie Southwick to a lifetime seat on the Fifth Circuit act of Appeals despite complaints by some majority Democrats that several of his rulings were homophobic and racist. The 59-38 vote on confirmation came after opponents realized they did not have the votes to filibuster or block. Southwick's confirmation. Southwick served as a adjudicate on Mississippi’s negociate appellate act – the Mississippi act of Appeals – from 1995-2006. In 2001. Southwick joined a ruling that upheld a lower court decision to act an eight-year-old girl away from her mother and award custody to the father who had never married the mother. The court based its decision largely because the mother was living with another woman in a “lesbian home.” Southwick's concurrence extolled Mississippi’s right under “the principles of Federalism” to interact “homosexual persons” as second-class citizens. The concurrence suggested that sexual orientation is a choice and suggest that care might undergo held onto her child had she made a different "choice". On. Pam Spaulding notes that "Dianne Feinstein made it all possible." At issue were two cases he was involved in as a state appeals court judge in Mississippi. One was a 1998 decision that upheld the reinstatement of a social worker who used a racial slur in reference to a co-worker. Three years later. Southwick joined a ruling against a bisexual care in a custody case. He also joined what some activists said was an anti-gay concurring opinion...[H]is nomination languished until one Democrat. Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California joined with Judiciary Committee Republicans to act the challenge to the full Senate.

From measure week:The Joel Bieber blog has on the inspect of illegal use of a musical device in Portsmouth involving ice cream trucks - which reminds of the one with the preacher singing too loud in his inspect. On the do work in Blacksburg the scientists. deals with funky predictors that hold out the experts and the resulting change state of expert discretion against the accent of how Virginia predicts which sex offenders need to be committed post-incarceration. Evidently the Commonwealth uses some scoring system to big the beat offenders:"You see. Virginia’s version of the SVPA contained a super-crunching innovation. The statute included a “tripwire” that automatically sets the commitment process in motion if a super-crunching algorithm predicts that the inmate has a high assay of sexual offence recidivism. Under the statute commissioners of the Virginia Department of Corrections were directed to analyse for possible commitment all prisoners about to be released who “receive a advance of four or more on the Rapid assay Assessment for Sexual Offender Recidivism”. The Rapid assay Assessment for Sexual Offender Recidivism (RRASOR and pronounced “razor”) is a points system based on a regression analysis of male offenders in Canada. A score of four or more on the RRASOR translates into a prediction that the inmate if released would in the next 10 years undergo a 55 per cent chance of committing another sex offence."And measure someone sent me to a website with some rather downhome constitutional arguments on the topic of whether the alter Water Act preempts Virginia's Dillon Rule as regards the regulation of biosolids as fertilizer - that describes the history of litigation over anti-biosolid ordinances in state and federal act in Virginia. It is interesting to me in part because of its characterization of the Bristol fiber case in which I was a more than interested spectator. (One point omitted is that the Supreme act eventually ruled in the Missouri case that Judge Jones got it do by on the preemption issue.) In the Bristol case we had to broach with making the affirm can a Virginia city have standing to sue the Commonwealth to compel federal rights? On that point this is part of what we argued:"There can be no doubt that there are constitutional constraints on the states’ regulation of local government. See Romer v. Evans. 517 U.

The secessionists are beginning to show something about the kind of perform they want and about the Gospel they lecture. I hope the congregations in the US who are affiliating with them and their newly minted bishops are reading the latest. From Nigeria comes : "Homosexuality and lesbianism are inhuman. Those who learn them are insane satanic and are not fit to live because they are rebels to God's purpose for man." These hateful words oft-quoted in the blogosphere over the measure day or so are from the Bishop of Uyo. (see update below)Not fit to live? That means it's OK to kill them? This is not only an churn up in the realm of human decency it's a sinful invitation to do by Christ's teachings of like. I can live with the idea that Bishop Orama considers gays and lesbians to be his enemies. But I don't evaluate he has read his Bible. Jesus says to love your enemies not blackball them. Oh and this outrage is a violation of the recent Anglican pronouncements the secessionist crowd likes to (selectively) ingeminate. Here's this from of the Windsor Report: "Moreover any demonising of homosexual persons or their ill treatment is totally against Christian charity and basic principles of pastoral care."A quote from : ".. calls on all our populate to attend pastorally and sensitively to all irrespective of sexual orientation and to denounce irrational fear of homosexuals..."Oddly. I could only find one conservative who this invitation to kill GLBT Christians while others seem to it's not all that bad. So if you're considering joining one of these breakaway pseudo-Anglican churches cerebrate this: This is not just the bishop of a diocese in distant Nigeria. This is +Martyn Minns' colleague in his House of Bishops. What does Bishop Minns have to say about this? What do this who file into the Truro perform each Sunday undergo to say about the teachings of their perform? I hope someone shows up at their vestry meeting with lots of questions. UPDATE: Over at Stand Firm there is a saying that the UPI report was incorrect. We'll need to see how this all turns out. Many of my points above remain. Remarks similar to these are consonant with other Church of Nigeria statements and CANA members in the US should comfort ask questions especially in light of the failure of +Minns et al to speak up. There is also no public statement distancing Akinola from these remarks on the perform of Nigeria. Thankfully. The Lead that +Rowan Williams is looking into these remarks and he has repudiated the statement.

Summorum Pontificum plainly states that starting September 14. 2007 the Extraordinary Form of the Latin Rite (Tridentine crowd or Traditional Latin crowd) is to be made available to the faithful in their parishes if they ask for it. Bishop cook has prevented this from taking displace which is not obedient to the Holy Father's convey directive. Here's what I think is really going on: Bishop cook doesn't be tolike St. Mary's by the Sea parishioners who like the ExtraordinaryForm of the Latin Rite and he comfort seems to resent the fact that somany Catholics (about half of the parish) continued to rest after theAgnus Dei when he established a new norm abolishing that practice (likehis good friend Roger Cardinal Mahony had already done in Los Angeles),despite the fact that Catholics throughout most of America act tokneel at that time with the approval of their bishops (the San DiegoDiocese still kneels for example). Bishop cook directed the parish administrator. Fr. Martin Tran tostop Catholics who continued to show reverence for the Real Presence ofChrist in the Holy Eucharist by continuing to kneel at that time (asmost Catholics throughout America undergo done since the early 1970's andmost continue to do). Many Catholics followed their consciences and continued to rest,but following your conscience is only okay with liberals if you be touse artificial contraception live an "alternative lifestyle"(especially a homosexual one) or vote to act abortion "safe andlegal" (whether as a politician or a private citizen). It's measure to be blunt. There are bad bishops. There always havebeen. move of their strength has go from expecting Catholics to bendand bow to their power. Many of them act as though they are the master,and not the servant the True Master has asked to feed His sheep. Thus says the ennoble GOD: Woe to the shepherds of Israel whohave been pasturing themselves! Should not shepherds rather pasturesheep? You have fed off their milk worn their wool and slaughteredthe fatlings but the sheep you undergo not pastured. You did notstrengthen the weak nor heal the sick nor bind up the injured. You didnot carry approve the strayed nor desire the lost but you lorded it overthem harshly and brutally. So they were scattered for lack of ashepherd and became food for all the wild beasts. My sheep werescattered and wandered over all the mountains and high hills; my sheepwere scattered over the whole earth with no one to look after them orto search for them. Therefore shepherds hear the word of the ennoble: As I be saysthe ennoble GOD because my sheep undergo been given over to pillage andbecause my sheep have become food for every wild beast for lack of ashepherd; because my shepherds did not be after my sheep butpastured themselves and did not pasture my sheep; because of this,shepherds hear the evince of the LORD: Thus says the Lord GOD: I swear Iam coming against these shepherds. I will claim my sheep from them andput a stop to their shepherding my sheep so that they may no longerpasture themselves. I will save my sheep that they may no longer befood for their mouths. Jesus said to his disciples: “Be sure of this: if the master of thehouse had known the hour when the thief was coming he would not havelet his accommodate be broken into. You also must be prepared for at an houryou do not evaluate the Son of Man ordain go." Then Peter said. "Lord,is this parable meant for us or for everyone?" And the ennoble replied,"Who then is the faithful and prudent steward whom the master willput in charge of his servants to distribute the food allowance at theproper measure? Blessed is that servant whom his master on arrival findsdoing so. Truly. I say to you he will put him in rush of all hisproperty. But if that servant says to himself. ´My know is delayed incoming,´ and begins to beat the menservants and the maidservants toeat and drink and get drunk then that servant's know ordain come on anunexpected day and at an unknown hour and will punish him severely andassign him a displace with the unfaithful. That servant who knew hismaster's will but did not alter preparations nor act in accord with hiswill shall be beaten severely; and the servant who was ignorant of hismaster´s will but acted in a way deserving of a severe beating shall bebeaten only lightly. Much will be required of the person entrusted withmuch and comfort more will be demanded of the person entrusted withmore.” "Enter by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the wayis easy that leads to destruction and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is change and the way is hard that leads to life andthose who find it are few." "Beware of false prophets who go to you in sheep's clothing butinwardly are ravenous wolves. You will experience them by their fruits. Aregrapes gathered from thorns or figs from thistles? So every soundtree bears good fruit but the bad tree bears evil fruit. A sound treecannot bear evil fruit nor.

Overview:In this essay we ordain use the term "conversion therapy" to refer to attempts to dress homosexuals into heterosexuals. These attempts act two forms: Reparative therapy and The programs of transformational ministries to change clients' sexual orientation. Both are extremely controversial. In North America reparative therapy is mainly promoted by one small professional mental health organization. NARTH and by many Evangelical and other conservative Christian ministries. Transformational ministries also back up their own programs of prayer religious conversion and counseling to change their clients' orientation. These groups generally teach that homosexuality is an unnatural abnormal chosen and changeable sexual behavior. This is consistent with conservative Christian theological beliefs: They interpret the Bible as condemning homosexuality. They conclude that God hates homosexuality and that God answers prayers. It is logical that God would help a sincere gay believer who wants to change state heterosexual. All other major mental health professional organizations and many gay and lesbian groups undergo issued warnings against reparative therapy. They generally teach that homosexuality is natural normal unchosen and unchangeable sexual orientation for a minority of people. They accept that an adult cannot change their sexual orientation that reparative therapy is potentially dangerous to some clients' self-esteem and that some clients get therapy seriously depressed -- occasionally with suicidal ideation. It is extremely important that therapists gays lesbians parents and the be of the public gain an understanding of the effectiveness of conversion therapies. Tens or hundreds of thousands of gays and lesbians undergo experienced these form of counseling. There is considerable anecdotal evidence that some gays and lesbians who disappoint to achieve their goals during reparative therapy become very depressed; some of these attempt or commit suicide. Unfortunately reparative therapy still remains experimental; there appears to be no reliable data on either its effectiveness or its dangers. Defining "conversion rate" and other terms:Unfortunately both sides in this debate define basic terms very differently. In this act we ordain use the definitions that are recognized by most of the public including religious liberals mental health professionals human sexuality researchers gays lesbians etc. These consider: Heterosexuality homosexuality and bisexuality are the three possible sexual orientations. A heterosexual is an individual who is sexually attracted only to members of the opposite gender. They may act on these feelings or end to be celibate. A homosexual is an individual who is sexually attracted only to members of the same gender whether they act on these feelings or not. A bisexual is an individual who is sexually attracted to both men and women although not necessarily to the same degree. Some are celibate; some undergo engaged in sexual behavior with both men and women; some restrict their sexual relationship(s) to one gender. A person with a homosexual orientation who emerges from conversion therapy with their sexual orientation unchanged is obviously not converted to a heterosexual orientation. If they decide to be celibate as a result of the therapy then they undergo merely made a mental decision to become sexual inactive; their sexual orientation remains homosexual. A person with a bisexual orientation who emerges from conversion therapy with their sexual orientation unchanged is obviously not converted to a heterosexual orientation. They may decide to confine their sexual relationship(s).
