Well, the Canadian legislature passed the "Same-Sex Union" bill yesterday and now it goes to the "Senate" where it is expected to pass without issue and become law. The crux of this bill simply gives identical recognition to civil marriages of gays as that of heterosexual marriages, whether civil or ecclesiastical.

Canada is now the third country in the world to pass such a bill. The other two are Belgium and Holland. No doubt, the ramifications of this are many as are the questions it will raise.

How should the Church respond? or should it?
As a Christian, what effect do you think such laws make in how you relate to "married" gays?
What concerns do you have in your own country in this matter?

In His Grace,
