Founded in 1859 as Queensborough, it was the capital of British Columbia until Victoria was made capital after the union of British Columbia , only two blessings of same-sex unions took place in his diocese (Maclean's magazine, Dec. 8, 2003). This low number may imply that homosexuals are more interested in getting married legally than simply receiving a blessing.

If General Synod ignores homosexual marriages, should it approve the blessing of homosexual unions? If we bless homosexual unions, will it lead to the blessing of common-law relationships? If we bless common-law relationships, will it lead to the abolition of marriages altogether? If we abolish all marriages, will it lead to the acceptance of polygamy polygamy: see marriage. polygamy Marriage to more than one spouse at a time. Although the term may also refer to polyandry (marriage to more than one man), it is often used as a synonym for polygyny (marriage to more than one woman), which appears ?
