Leaving & Cleaving - an article for the June 2004 Deep Cove Crier

1) http://www3.telus.net/st_simons/cr0405.html

What does it take to make a good marriage, or perhaps to make a good marriage better?

Veteran counselors, John & Paula Sanford, commented that "the greatest and most common difficulty we encounter in marital counselling is this matter of leaving and cleaving." So many couples that I know are stuck in their relationship, because they have never really left their father and mother. Leaving is more than just physical leaving. Leaving is also emotional, spiritual, and social. Without adequate leaving, there can never be adequate cleaving. True intimacy requires a death to an old way of relating in order to birth a new level of relationship with one's spouse.

You may have heard the following in wedding services: "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh". It is actually a quote from the book of Genesis Chapter 2 vs. 24, and reaffirmed by Jesus in Matthew 19:5. Having taken many marriage services over the years, I have had the opportunity to observe both healthy and unhealthy relationships. The unhealthy marriages invariably are stuck in the area of leaving. There is an over-bonding, a 'bentness' towards one's parents that keeps the couple from moving forward. It is as if the umbilical chord, spiritually speaking, has never really been cut.

John & Paula Sanford comment that "independence or leaving is the first and continuing price of ongoing life." Leaving is a two-way street. It is not only the couple that needs to leave, but also the parents that need to release their adult children to their new destiny. That is why marriage services include the question: 'Do you, members of the families of N. and N., give your blessing to this marriage?' "Letting go and letting God" can be very painful for parents who have spent much of their lives child-rearing. But unless we choose to let go, we emotionally kill and crush the very ones we love.

The powerful 1990 Irish movie "The Field' illustrate the vital importance of letting go the ones we love. The Irish father 'Bull' McCabe so wanted to cling to his son Tadgh that his inability to let him go ultimately brought about his son's destruction.

Leaving without cleaving is also insufficient. Healthy marriages require a commitment to cleaving. John & Paula Sanford hold that "cleaving is the primary calling and task of honorable marriage…Cleaving is 'a matter first of opening to one's mate, then closing to all others". That is why marriage services will include the phrase: "forsaking all others, to be faithful to her/him so long as you both shall live"

Cleaving is not a one-time decision, but rather a daily decision to keep one's heart open to one's spouse, no matter what the pain and struggle. It is always easy to give in to the temptation to isolate oneself and disconnect from real intimacy. Cleaving is the commitment to love one's spouse sacrificially, even to the point of laying down one's life for them. Cleaving is the commitment to washing one's spouse's feet, to serving them in big and little ways. Cleaving is the commitment to listening deeply and sensitively when one would rather watch TV or get lost in a book.

One of the healthiest marriages that I know of is my parent's marriage. They have grown together over 54 years in a way that deeply inspires me. They have learned through experience the importance of leaving one's parents, of setting healthy boundaries so that their own marriage could blossom. My parents also modeled for me the biblical call to true cleaving and intimacy. After 54 years, they are better friends than ever. That is what I want for my children in their future marriages, when they leave us and cleave to their spouses.

Leaving and cleaving is the secret to a healthy marriage. My prayer for those reading this article is that each of us may learn how to truly leave our parents so that we may truly cleave to our spouse.

Yes, We Really Care - But Who Do We Care About
(…)My opening quote serves to give some context to my assertion that the Anglican Church of Canada is in the grip of a massive collective stupidity. It almost had its senses sharpened with the decision to defer the local option motion, but then came Canon Bulmer's new motion, and the torpor returned(…)General Synod of the Anglican Church of Canada is being asked to adopt a motion that addresses the quality and nature of all adult same-sex relationships. There is no limiting language other than the adjective committed, so any adult member(s) who are part of a committed same sex-relationship would come under the cloak of this gigantic ecclesiastical group hug. There is nothing to say the relationship must be limited to two persons.

Adopting the most generous definition permitted within the context of a relationship defined by the sexuality of the members, a committed relationship would be one where the parties to the relationship have each made some sort of pledge one to the other, founded on the existence of some degree of mutual trust between or amongst the members of the relationship.

Now that you know to whom we (the Anglican Church of Canada) are being asked to give this ecclesiastical hug, what exactly is it we say to them and to the world about what we believe is going on spiritually in each such relationship.

First we make a clear qualitative statement about every such relationship. We affirm, which means to validate, confirm, and uphold something about each relationship. We say much more than "Yes, we care" - let there be no confusion about that.

We affirm, validate, confirm and uphold (for no other reason but the members of the relationship have told us they are adults and committed) that each such relationship is marked by integrity. This means the relationship is in firm adherence to some code of value. Since the ACC is still considered a Christian church the plain meaning is that the code of value is a moral one. Thus, each such relationship is deemed to be of moral value, incorruptible, sound, in unimpaired condition and in a quality or state of being complete or undivided. That should make the members of the relationship feel pretty good.

But, there is more. It seems Canon Bulmer wants us to do more to show we care, so the motion says we also affirm, validate, confirm and uphold that each such relationship is marked by the quality of sanctity. This means it is in a state of being holy or sacred it is inviolable; it is marked by a character of godliness.

Now, don't you feel better? Hugs are satisfying for both parties aren't they? Oh, by the way what was that motion we deferred to the Primates Theological Commission to determine if we are in the realm of doctrine or pastoral care. "Yes we care" sounds pastoral enough but holy, sacred, incorruptible?? Is it lunch time yet?(…)

Canada's Anglicans vote to defer decision on same-sex blessings Alaska Highway News - Fort St. John,British Columbia,Canada NOAH LOVE, Canadian Press Archbishop of Toronto Terence Finlay speaks in favour of a motion to allow individual dioceses the authority to bless same-sex unions.

ST. CATHARINES, Ont. (CP) - The Anglican Church of Canada backed away from a decision on the highly divisive issue of allowing same-sex blessings, voting Wednesday night to put off a ruling until their next meeting in 2007.

Spirited debate lead to a narrow decision that the issue needed more study, with bishops, lay members and clergy voting to defer the matter 164 to 130. "I'm content because this does give us more time for all parties to engage in a very important discussion," said Montreal Archbishop Andrew Hutchison, who was selected Monday as the Canadian Anglican Church's new leader.

And because the church didn't vote against giving a blessing, each of the country's 30 dioceses can still choose to do so if they wish, he noted.

"Constitutionally, because there is no inhibiting legislation at the level of general synod, it does leave diocese at liberty to make their own decisions," he said.

"Whether morally diocese will feel constrained to hold back is another question."

"I hope that many will hold back (on blessing gay unions) simply to avoid a major schism for the church."(…)

Broken down by category, lay and clergy delegates favoured deferral by a vote of 142 to 118, while bishops favoured deferral by a vote of 22 to 12 (…)

However, the revised proposal to defer a decision gained momentum Wednesday night. It called for a two-year study of whether same-sex rituals are "a matter of doctrine."

"There's certainly a certain amount of disappointment because we had seven hours of debate and certainly the discussion has been going on for six and seven years," said Chris Ambidge, spokesman for Integrity, representing gays and lesbians and their supporters within the Anglican Church of Canada.

"Surely, we can actually do something about this. We've led the horse to water again and again and it still says it's thirsty."

If the 2007 meeting decides central church teaching is involved and still wants to allow same-sex blessings, that would require amendment of church law at two consecutive meetings - further delaying any approval until at least 2010(…)

The diocese's bishop said Wednesday he would continue to embrace same-sex couples.

"The diocese of New Westminster will remain I'm sure committed to providing safety and respect for gay and lesbian people and for those who remain of a traditional conscience," said Michael Ingham.

"They (the delegates) have not prevented any diocese from considering the matter as they wish to do at the local level."(…)

Reaction to synod's vote to defer a decision on same-sex blessings June 3, 2004 -

(…) I'm not surprised or disappointed by the decision. It follows, in fact, the same pattern that we went through in our diocese. The General Synod now is pretty much where we (New Westminster) were in 1997. It's appropriate that we take the time that people need and while we take that time, it's important to hold people in mutual respect.

What the synod has said tonight is that they wish to study the matter further before making any recommendation as a General Synod. They've not prevented any diocese from considering the matter as they wish to do at a local level. That will continue. There is already a decision in the Toronto diocese to hold a synod (on same-sex blessings) this fall. I know there's pressure in other urban dioceses too. That will continue as this next three years unfold. (BISHOP MICHAEL INGHAM, diocese of New Westminster)

* I voted in favor of a deferral. I think it's the best thing, the right thing to do for the church at this time. I think it will be the most helpful. (BISHOP TERRENCE BUCKLE, diocese of Yukon)

* I voted against deferring it for a number of reasons. I appreciate the need for a definitive answer on whether it's doctrinal or not and I think that we need to have solid opinion that will be upheld everywhere. But at the same time I believe there's already been a lot of study done and there seems to be an impediment in the house (of bishops) as regarded by the diocese of New Westminster and many of the bishops with regard to whether it's doctrine or simple blessings. The second is the fact that if we defer it and we have in fact voted to defer it, where does that leave the diocese of New Westminster who have already done a responsible, far-ranging study of the area as much as they could possibly do? Three times their synod asked for (same-sex blessings) and the bishop (Michael Ingham) finally assented after a substantial vote. Where does that leave them? Where does that leave two or three dioceses who have not yet taken the step but who are anticipating being able to do so? (BISHOP CALEB LAWRENCE, Moosonee) (…)

Leaders of Canada's Anglicans stepped back from a showdown with the worldwide church on Wednesday, deferring a key vote on blessing same sex unions which could have further divided 70 million global worshippers.(…)

"Still moving forward"

"It was very close," said Synod communications spokesperson Lorie Chortyk, adding that the Synod was still moving toward blessings for same-sex partners, but held off to avoid alienating opponents and for the sake of unity.

"It is still moving forward, just a little more slowly," Chortyk told AFP(…)

On Monday, the General Synod chose a new primate, or national archbishop, Andrew Hutchinson, from Montreal, seen by observers as a "liberal" member of the clergy on social issues.

"When two people are drawn to each other and commit for life, then blessing them should not be a problem," he said. But he added he was against same-sex marriage(…)

Canada's Anglicans Delay Action on Gay Blessings
Anglican Church of Canada delegates have voted to delay action for three years on whether to allow dioceses to bless gay couples.

But in a surprise move, liberal delegates asked the church to "affirm the integrity and sanctity of committed adult same sex relationships" whether or not formal blessing rituals occurred.

Action on that measure was delayed until today, but voting on the procedural motion indicated that it could pass - a result that will possibly spark a controversy(…)

World Anglicanism is already severely split over homosexuality, particularly the consecration of an openly gay bishop by the Episcopal Church in the United States.

Whatever the meeting in St Catherines, Ontario, decides, it seems unlikely to prevent future blessing rituals in the New Westminster diocese in Vancouver, which went ahead on its own two years ago. But the decision might prevent other dioceses from doing the same(…)

The original motion, and the rewrite calling for delay, were both the work of Robert Falby, lay lawyer for the Toronto Diocese, and Bishop Fred Hiltz of Halifax, Nova Scotia. "The unity of the church requires deferral," Falby told delegates.

But his own bishop, Terence Finlay, then protested that any delay would cast gay and lesbian parishioners "in a wilderness of secrecy and hypocrisy. I can't ask them to wait any longer."

Earlier in the day, Montreal's liberal Archbishop Andrew Hutchison, who will be installed as new national leader of the denomination tomorrow, signalled his support for delay during a surprise visit to a rally by Anglican Essentials, a coalition of those opposing church approval for same-sex behaviour.

"It's going to need time yet before the mind of the church and the mind of Christ become evident," Hutchison told the conservatives. Reaching out to church members to his right, Hutchison also said that as leader, or primate, his responsibility was to "hold together this family"(…)

Synod defers decision on blessings

Will decide tomorrow on "integrity" of gay relationships MARITES N. SISON, STAFF WRITER ANGLICAN JOURNAL St. Catharines, Ont., June 2, 2004 - Deeply divided over liberalizing church attitudes toward homosexuals, Canadian Anglicans meeting at their triennial governing convention here voted to defer a decision on whether gay relationships should be blessed in church. Members of the General Synod approved a revised version of a resolution that originally would have given dioceses the authority to allow same-sex blessing ceremonies. The new version asks the Primate's Theological Commission to "review, consider and report … by spring 2006 … whether the blessing of committed, same-sex unions is a matter of doctrine." Established in 1995, the Primate's Theological Commission has studied questions of biblical interpretation and produced several books on Anglican expressions of the Christian faith(…) The resolution passed also requests "that the issue of the blessing of committed same-sex unions be considered at the meeting of General Synod in 2007." The original motion approved "the authority and jurisdiction of any diocesan synod, with the concurrence of its bishop, to authorize the blessing of committed same-sex unions." Robert Falby, chancellor (legal expert) with the diocese of Toronto, introduced the revision. "We perceived that the house wished to have the question of doctrine clarified," he said. Members of General Synod agreed, but not overwhelmingly. Clergy and laity voted 142-118 and bishops voted 22-12 in favour of deferral. (Synod voted to postpone until Thursday debate on a motion brought by Canon Garth Bulmer of Ottawa that would "affirm the integrity and sanctity of committed adult same-sex relationships." He added that the church can say to gay couples, "yes, we care." Rev. Michael Li of Central Newfoundland argued against the addition, saying, "it is a mistake to pass this motion; to me it is not much different from a same-sex blessing.") Those supporting deferring the local option vote included Rev. Gene Packwood of Calgary, who said "we get to stay in communion with the worldwide Anglican Communion, work toward consensus, protect Anglican minorities worldwide and, personally, I won't have to do pastoral damage control when I get home." Archdeacon Larry Beardy of Keewatin, who is Cree, said some of the concepts in the text "are foreign to us" adding, "if you approve it we will once again be left behind."(…) A spokesman for Essentials, a coalition of conservative Anglicans, Rev. James Wagner said he was "pleased with the motion to defer because it represents the theology of this matter and the unity of the church."(…) Bishop Ingham also said the motion does not prevent another diocese from offering blessings. Toronto is scheduled to consider the question of same-sex blessings in November at a special meeting of synod and Ottawa and Niagara dioceses are expected to do so in the near future. Archbishop Finlay said, "It is up to the (diocesan) synod to decide. A number of us have supported a local option … some congregations would like to seek permission from the bishop (to offer same-sex blessings)."(…)

Anglicans await result of same-sex vote
Whatever the outcome, Bishop Michael Ingham says his Vancouver-area diocese will still bless same-sex unions BY DOUGLAS TODD, VANCOUVER SUN ST. CATHARINES, Ont. - The Vancouver-area diocese will still be able to bless same-sex unions even if the Anglican Church of Canada's highest governing body fails to pass a contentious motion today authorizing dioceses to permit them, maintains Bishop Michael Ingham.

As the bishop at the centre of an international Anglican storm because he consented to same-sex blessings in 2002, Ingham said Tuesday the decentralized structure of the Canadian church allows dioceses to proceed on their own with rites blessing homosexual relationships(…)

"But I know people need time to think the issue through without feeling intimidation. Whatever happens will not affect the right of the Diocese of New Westminster to bless same-sex unions.

"This vote here is about 'affirming' a diocese's right to perform a same-sex blessing. It's not about asking General Synod to create the right."

But Algoma Bishop Ronald Ferris - a long-time opponent of same-sex blessings who on Monday lost out to more liberal Montreal Archbishop Andrew Hutchison in his bid to become the church's national leader, or primate - countered that the church constitution forbids its 30 dioceses from independently conducting same-sex rites(…)

In addition, Ferris warned in an interview there will be "costs and consequences" if dioceses proceed on their own to bless homosexual relationships(…)

Ferris said there will be "internal rifts" and "legal and financial problems regarding property," as some disaffected parishes try to leave the denomination and take their buildings with them.

So far two Vancouver-area parishes that have left the denomination claim they own parish property(…)

Dear Brothers and Sisters,
ST. CATHARINES, ONT-The Anglican Church of Canada voted to elect a new Primate this week and the choice could not have been worse for the orthodox in the church and the signal it sends to the Primates of the Global South.

On the fourth ballot they elected a bi-lingual revisionist from the Diocese of Montreal, Archbishop Andrew S. Hutchison, 65, a bishop who has already allowed a same-sex blessing when he was chaplain to the Canadian Armed Forces.(…)

But not to be outdone, Michael Ingham, Bishop of New Westminster says he will continue to allow same-sex unions even if the Anglican Church of Canada's highest governing body fails to pass a contentious motion authorizing dioceses to permit them. Who said liberal tyranny and belligerence was not alive and well.

To round off this Synod, the Canadian Church has invited Frank Griswold to come and be the guest speaker. Pluriformity and inclusion to the end, even as the orthodox are being marginalized and excluded.
