Shame.Dear editor, I understand that only nine bishops in the Anglican Church of Canada had the guts gut n. 1. a. The alimentary canal or a portion thereof, especially the intestine or stomach. b. The embryonic digestive tube, consisting of the foregut, the midgut, and the hindgut. 2. to stand firm in the practices of the old-fashioned gospel of how to deal with sin through the grace of Christ and his forgiveness Forgiveness Angelica, Suor is forgiven by the Virgin Mary for ill-considered suicide. [Ital. Opera: Puccini, Suor Angelica, Westerman, 364] Bishop of Digne and love (Sexuality questions leave church at odds; June/July issue). I admire the nine but hang my head in shame for those who have nothing more to offer than an immoral gospel. The Anglican church, the one I once admired ad·mire v. ad·mired, ad·mir·ing, ad·mires v.tr. 1. To regard with pleasure, wonder, and approval. 2. To have a high opinion of; esteem or respect. 3. and loved, which was instrumental in my coming to Christ so many years ago, is fast going down the tubes. Is this really necessary? Could we not hear from a number of those who are hurting over the state of our church expressing their feelings in a letter before it is too late? Virgil F.
