In this article which appeared in the latest issue of the Anglican Journal, Peter Mikelic, a pastor of Epiphany Lutheran church, Toronto and a clergy member of the ELCIC's National Church Council (NCC), gives his point of view on the decision to be made by the NCC at its September 15-16, 2006 meeting in regards to the legality of the Eastern Synod Convention's action in July to give congregations the authority to decide whether or not to conduct blessings of same-sex couples.
The timing of this article is rather peculiar. It appears in the October issue of theAnglican Journal and, thus, after the NCC had made its ruling on this matter in mid-September. And yet it is written as if that decision by the NCC were still to come.
