Anglican Bishop Opposed to Gay “Marriage” Elected Archbishop for BC, Yukon
By Terry Vanderheyden

RICHMOND, BC, November 14, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Yukon Anglican bishop Terrence Buckle, seemingly the only Canadian Anglican bishop who openly opposes same-sex “marriage,” has been elected as archbishop for British Columbia and Yukon Territory.

Buckle’s only contender for the position was Vancouver bishop Michael Ingham. A number of BC parishes voted by an overwhelming majority in 2003 to accept Buckle as ‘alternative Episcopal oversight’ to Ingham, after he introduced same-sex “blessings” for their congregations.

“I personally believe that we do not just stand by and watch the church fall apart over this,” Buckle said, as reported by the CBC. “I really believe God would have something different than that. So I seek to be prayerful, and to give that kind of leadership that listens, the kind of leadership that perhaps does not have to compromise, but it’s how you give the leadership with strong conviction and fairness to all.” the rest
