Dear friends in Christ,

Thank you for all your ongoing healing prayers as I continue to make progress in my voice situation. 
 After nine months of helpful speech therapy with Margy Smith, my otolaryngologist Dr. Murray Morrison 
recommended that I take the botox treatment to loosen the overtightness of the vocal chords.  
After careful research, prayer, and reflection, I went ahead with the botox treatment this past 
Wednesday at VGH (Vancouver General Hospital). It took about 5 minutes.

As many of you know, I lost my voice 24 years ago in 1980 for 18 months in the early days of 
ordained ministry. The condition is called 'spasmodic dysphonia'. It was caused by a rare viral 
throat infection which happens statistically to one in five million people, something like 
winning the lottery in reverse. Spasmodic Dysphonia causes the vocal chords to overadduct 
(overshut) on a spasmodic or intermittent basis, cutting off words or parts of sentences. 
Spasmodic Dysphonia is not caused by stress, but sometimes is more noticeable under stress.

22 years ago, I had surgery at VGH by Dr. Murray Morrison in a successful operation that 
allowed me to speak again and go back preaching after being off for a year. My GP thought 
that I would never preach again, and he would have been correct, except for having had this 
surgery on May 25th 1982. They cut the left laryngeal nerve of the left vocal chord, which 
stopped the adducting/shutting of that chord. As the right chord still overadducted/overshut, 
it balanced out. After my surgery, my voice was free of the spasms, but was initially much 
quieter and more breathy. 

22 years later, as shown by Dr. Morrison's investigation, the left laryngeal nerve has 
re-enervated or regenerated itself and thereby contributed to an overshutting of the vocal 
chords once again. This is the reason for my susceptibility to laryngitis over the past year. 
The overshutting of the vocal chords is like a door continually slamming shut.

The botox treatment on this past Wednesday by Dr. Murray Morrison allows a fine-tuning of the 
benefits of my previous 1982 surgery. The botox is injected into both laryngeal nerves, 
thereby loosening the vocal chord shutting (adducting) on both sides. 

My wife and parents are thrilled by the elimination of the spasming through the botox treatment. 
My mother didn't initially recognize my voice on the phone. The botox treatment lasts for three months, 
and then is redone by Dr. Morrison at VGH. It initially overloosens the vocal chords a bit, 
with the result that my voice will be somewhat breathy and quieter. The treatment greatly 
enhances my ability to read out loud the liturgy and scriptures, which has been more difficult 
than preaching. Over the next few weeks, the vocal chords will gradually tighten again, 
resulting in a less breathy voice and less quiet voice. Thank you for your continuing prayerful 
encouragement.  I am very happy with this new step.

Yours in Christ, Ed Hird+,

Nairobi - African Anglican churches on Friday condemned this month's acceptance by their Canadian 
counterpart of same-sex relationships.

"This latest move of the Church of Canada can neither be justified nor supported," the Council
 of Anglican Provinces in Africa (CAPA) said in a statement issued in Nairobi.

The churches, whose leaders have been meeting in Kenya, expressed "total and absolute disgust 
and deepest regret at the unfortunate decision" of Canada's Anglican Church, which last week 
affirmed the "integrity and sanctity" of same-sex relationships(…)

Newly elected leader looks for solution
Anglicans put off decision on matter
JORDAN HEATH-RAWLINGS, STAFF REPORTER, 
Toronto Star, June 13th 2004 
Toronto's Anglicans have a new bishop, who says he wants to unify his church on the issue of same-sex blessings.

"The diocese has a variety of positions and part of my role will be to make sure that the church 
does not disintegrate over this but remains unified," Bishop Colin Johnson said yesterday afternoon.

"I think that is possible to do."

Bishop Johnson, who personally supports same-sex blessings, was elected yesterday at St. James' Cathedral 
on the third ballot by Synod, the 650-member body that governs the Toronto diocese(…)

We're quite pleased," said Chris Ambidge, co-convenor of Integrity Toronto, an association of gay and 
lesbian Anglicans.

"None of the candidates would have disappointed Integrity had they been elected. They're all quite 
supportive of the gay and lesbian community.

"We weren't on the edge of our seats saying, `I hope X isn't elected because that would be horrid.'"

Fidelity Toronto, an Anglican association that opposes same-sex blessings, said it was not worried that 
Johnson personally supports the
issue(…)

Anglican church faces split over same-sex issue: officials Anglican support of same-sex unions 
attracts international attention

ABBOTSFORD (BC Newspaper Group) - A decision by a Lower Mainland Anglican diocese to continue blessing 
same-sex relationships could contribute to the formal splitting of the Anglican Church, say officials 
representing orthodox members of that faith.

Chris Hawley, spokesperson for a national coalition of orthodox Anglicans, said the majority of the 
church's 38 international leaders (called primates) do not condone the blessing and are considering 
serious measures against the Diocese of New Westminster, made up of 80 churches from Vancouver to Hope.

The diocese began offering the blessing to same-sex couples in 2002 based on the results of a diocese 
synod, an official meeting where issues are discussed on voted on.

The move has created conflict both within the diocese and within the church - nationally and 
internationally. A breakaway group of about a dozen parishes within the diocese came out publicly 
against the blessing last year.

Now international primates are considering serious measures against the Canadian and U.S. branches 
of the church that have offered the blessing, said Hawley, which could include the formal and orderly 
splitting of the church.

"This could mean turning it into a federation where individual nations can do whatever they want," 
Hawley said. "They (the primates) would say, 'do whatever you want, we're a separate church now'."

The primates are expected to make a decision on the matter in October.

New Westminster bishop Michael Ingham said there is no mechanism in place to eject branches of the church.

"In the end they can only remove themselves, and in that case it would be clear who is breaking 
up the church," Ingham said. "But I think they will pull back from that."

It was hoped a general meeting or synod of the Anglican Church of Canada last week would resolve 
the controversy. The blessing was to be discussed and voted on by representatives from all over Canada.

However, the motion was instead referred for study and pushed back to the next national synod in 2007.

At the same meeting, a new amendment was introduced and passed that affirmed the integrity and 
sanctity of committed adult same-sex relationships, a move Hawley said further angered orthodox leaders.

Ingham said he was encouraged by the motion, adding the diocese will continue to provide a safe 
and respected place for Anglicans who are gay and lesbian. The blessing will still be offered, he said.

: Communion moves towards brink...Griswold...gay marriage...Libs routed...more Posted by dvirtue

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

The worldwide Anglican Communion stepped a little closer to the brink of schism this past week 
when several orthodox Archbishops demanded the expulsion of the Anglican Church of Canada over 
its affirmation of the "sanctity" of gay relationships.

It was an interesting use of the word "sanctity" with liberal supporters of the amendment claiming 
that they did not intend the word "sanctity" to have any theological significance. Not true fired 
back a number of orthodox Anglicans. They argued that, in Church language, sanctity meant blessed, 
and they weren't buying it.

But what happened was far more than linguistic it was a downright slap in the face at the Global 
South bishops, the Lambeth (Eames) Commission and the Archbishop of Canterbury who, the previous 
day had praised the restrained actions of the Canadian church. He miscalculated or spoke too soon. 
Some 24 hours later the Canadian church back doored an amendment, approved of by a large majority 
of the Canadian Synod to placate disappointed gay rights activists who approve of homosexual 
relationships. It was about as sneaky a thing as you could imagine, but should come as no surprise 
to those of us familiar with the tactics of revisionist gay agit-prop.

When Virtuosity inquired as to whether Lambeth Palace would now issue a repudiation of the Canadian 
action or a rebuttal of their former statement, I was told no, largely because it is suspected that
 the deep thinkers in the palace have no problem with what happened in Canada, and why open up yet 
another can of worms.

But a group of Global South primates reacted with fury to the late amendment that injected new 
controversy into the resolution. Two Primates, Drexel Gomez (Nassau) and Greg Venables (Southern Cone) 
said what happened in Canada was worse than one could have imagined, putting homosexual relations 
on a par with marriage. (There was no collective Primatial disapproval despite a number of media reports)(…)

Pastoral Letter from Bishop Bruce Howe and Bishop Bob Bennett circulated to all parishes on 
Sunday, June 6, 2004 See http://www.diohuron.org/Generalsynodletter.pdf
"...A member of (General) Synod asked the mover of the motion what he meant by the term 'sanctity'. 
He replied: 'I didn't mean it in the technical theological sense as much as in a pastoral sense. 
While this interpretation may or may not be correct, it certainly reflects the spirit in which 
the Synod made its decision..."

4a) http://www.anglican-mainstream.net/lambeth_news5.asp
Anglican Mainstream has two major submissions commissioned by Archbishop Drexel Gomez of the 
West Indies. "Called to Witness and Fellowship - The Church as Communion" (…)12. In particular, 
we believe that the recent actions by the Episcopal Church of the USA and the Anglican Church 
of Canada attack the church's witness to the Gospel and God's gift of salvation in Jesus Christ. 
They confuse and divide the church at its most essential points
- namely, in its witness to apostolic and catholic teaching, practice and structure. These 
departures are deliberate, public, and sustained despite opportunities for correction and 
repentance. As such they are so serious that they necessarily damage communion and fellowship 
and imperil people's spiritual health.

13. We are saddened to observe that by their deliberate, persistent and unilateral actions, they 
have torn the fabric of our communion "at its deepest level". They have rejected appeals to 
adhere to the common faith and practice - including the mutual charity - that bind the members 
of God's family to each other and to God himself. In that sense, the rupture or "realignment" 
of the Anglican Communion has occurred already. It is not an agenda or proposal to be 
implemented but a fait accompli that is now to be recognized. "The schismatic is the one 
who causes the separation, not the one who separates"(…)

15. We call on those responsible for the instruments of unity of the Anglican Communion, 
such as the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Primates Meeting to respond biblically and 
apostolically to these actions through the full exercise of appropriate discipline. Failure 
of these instruments to act will call into question both their viability and legitimacy as 
instruments of Communion. We commend those who remain in the Anglican family and continue 
to pass on the apostolic faith in different contexts and cultures. We are aware that they 
require support and encouragement. We pledge ourselves to provide adequate care and oversight 
for all those in north and south who find themselves alienated and abandoned.

We endorse and attach the enclosed paper on "The Current Crisis in the Anglican Communion 
- what are the Ecclesiological Issues involved?" 
prepared by a group of eminent theologians in the Communion.

4b) http://www.anglican-mainstream.net/lambeth_news6.asp
"The current crisis in the Anglican Communion - what are the ecclesiological issues involved?" 
(…)When someone is consecrated as a bishop two things have to occur in order for a valid 
consecration to occur. There has to be a proper outward form. That is to say, there has to 
be a laying on of hands with prayer by the consecrating bishops. There also has to be a 
proper intention. That is to say, there has to be the intention to consecrate a bishop of 
the Catholic Church.

This means that the person who is being consecrated must be someone who will be able to 
uphold the Apostolic teaching, act as a focus for unity within the local church and link 
the local church to the wider Church of which it is a part. If it is known in advance that 
someone would be unable to fulfil these criteria then it would be  impossible for those 
consecrating to act with the intention that they should do so. As a consequence the 
consecration would be invalid due to what is known as a 'defect of intention' and the person 
consecrated could not be regarded as a bishop.

For instance, it would be impossible validly to ordain someone who was known to be an atheist 
because those consecrating could not be acting with the intention that the person being 
consecrated would uphold the Apostolic faith and teach others to do so.

In the case of the consecration of Canon Gene Robinson as coadjutor bishop of New Hampshire 
on 2 November 2003 it can be argued that there was a defect of intention and that as a 
result the consecration was invalid and Robinson cannot be regarded as a bishop(…)

It follows that although the form of Canon Robinson's consecration was canonical since 
he was appointed according to the constitution of the Episcopal Church (USA)  and consecrated 
by three bishops with the consent of the Metropolitan, there must have been a defect of intention 
since those consecrating could not have been acting with the reasonable expectation that they were 
consecrating someone who could act as a bishop of the Catholic Church.  It follows that the 
consecration should be regarded as invalid and that the see of New Hampshire should be regarded as vacant.

Recognition that Canon Robinson was never properly consecrated suggests a possible way forward 
out of the crisis currently facing the Anglican Communion because of the actions of the 
Episcopal Church (USA).

First of all it means that Canon Robinson could not be invited to the Lambeth Conference 
in 2008 since he is not a bishop and this would avoid the problems that an invitation to 
him would raise.

Secondly. with the agreement of the other Primates of the Anglican Communion, the Episcopal 
Church (USA) could be invited by the Archbishop of Canterbury to fill the see of New Hampshire 
with an acceptable bishop and to censure those bishops who were involved in his consecration 
on the grounds that they took part in a consecration that they must have known was invalid.

Failure to take this action within an agreed time frame could then be regarded as a sign that 
the Episcopal Church (USA) no longer regarded itself as part of the Anglican Communion. 
The reasons would be that the Episcopal Church had taken action that it knew would lead to a 
breaking of communion with other churches of the Communion and had refused to rectify the 
situation when given the opportunity to do so, and that it had refused to take notice of 
decisions agreed collectively by the bishops of the Communion both at the Lambeth Conference 
1998 and at subsequent Primates' meetings(…)

If it was considered that the Episcopal Church (USA) had repudiated its Anglican identity, 
the way would then be open for the Communion, through the Primates' meeting, to ask the 
Archbishop Canterbury to re-establish the Anglican Church in the United States by appointing 
bishops to form the nucleus of new church that was part of the Communion(…)

Given that these responses are unconvincing for the reasons just given, the case against the 
actions of the Episcopal Church (USA) outlined earlier in this paper remains solid. Furthermore, 
this case also applies mutatis mutandis to the proposal before the General Synod of the Anglican 
Church of Canada that it should authorise  Canadian dioceses to introduce the blessing of 
same sex relationships should they wish to do so.

Having warned of the consequences of the consecration of Gene Robinson, 
the Primates' meeting in October 2003 noted that: 'Similar considerations apply to the situation 
pertaining in the Diocese of New Westminster.'[13] What this means is that the Primates 
considered that the decision by the Canadian diocese of New Westminster to authorise the blessing 
of lesbian and gay relationships represented a similar threat to the unity of the Anglican Communion.

This being the case, any decision by the Canadian General Synod to authorise same sex blessings 
more widely would be a decision to ignore the warning of the Primates as to the damage that such 
a decision would cause.  Such a decision might be constitutionally valid but it could never be 
theologically valid because, as in the case of the decision to consecrate Canon Robinson, it 
would mean privileging the exercise of autonomy over the maintenance of communion. It would 
mean refusing to die to self in order to live as part of the wider Church.

Should the General Synod of the Anglican Church of Canada decide to take such an un-Catholic 
action it should be requested to reconsider it within a specified period of time. If it refused 
to do so, this should be regarded as sign that the Canadian Church had decided to place itself 
outside the Anglican Communion.

As we have suggested in the case of the Episcopal Church (USA), the Archbishop of Canterbury 
could then be asked to take the necessary steps to ensure that Anglican Church life in Canada 
continued by appointing bishops who could form the basis of a church that remained part of 
the Anglican Communion.

News Update - June 12, 2004
The Aftermath of General Synod
Reactions to the decisions by the General Synod of the Anglican Church of Canada [ACC], 
June 2-3, to defer a vote allowing "local option" to dioceses "to authorize the blessing of 
committed same-sex unions" until 2007, but to "affirm the integrity and sanctity of committed 
adult same-sex relationships" continued to come thick and fast at presstime(…)

In Pastoral Letters and statements to dioceses across Canada, bishops sought to downplay the 
significance of the "sanctity" affirmation, to place it in appropriate synodical context and 
to encourage those who disagreed with it not to lose heart. The College of Bishops of the 
Diocese of Toronto wrote to all diocesan parishioners, June 3, and agreed that "this was a 
pastoral not doctrinal response to our faithful gay and lesbian church members." Bishop Michael 
Ingham of New Westminster also noted that "the word 'sanctity' was used in a pastoral not a doctrinal way."

Perhaps more noteworthy, from a traditionalist viewpoint, were the comments of Bishop George 
Bruce of Ontario, Bishop Claude Miller of Fredericton and Bishop Anderson of Caledonia to their 
dioceses. Bruce observed that "the mover of this ['sanctity'] clause, in response to a question 
of clarification, said, 'I did not mean the word in the technical theological sense as much as 
in the pastoral sense.'" The bishop then stated that "while I was one of those who had difficulty
 with the choice of word, I am willing to take him at his word and accept that this was a pastoral 
and not a doctrinal gesture to gay and lesbian members of the church whose disappointment at 
our inability to decide at this time was palpable."

Bishop Miller made a similar point in his Pastoral Letter of June 7. "I regret the confusion 
surrounding the adoption of a motion to 'affirm the integrity and sanctity of committed adult 
same-sex relationships,'" he said. "You should know that your Bishop and Delegates voted against 
the motion. This was based on our Church's present understanding of Christian marriage and 
same-sex relationships. I fully understand the resultant confusion," continued Miller, "but 
I would add that all earthly relationships are less than what is holy in God's eyes, and that 
at best we share a journey in the quest for holiness. We need to be reminded that there is 
only One Holy - we all fall short regardless of our context."(…)

St Albans Diocesan Fellowship writes to Eames
15th June

Dear Archbishop Eames

We are writing on behalf of members of the Diocesan Evangelical Fellowship and others in the Diocese 
of St Albans to express our concerns about the appointment of Canon Jeffrey John to the post of Dean of St Albans.

There is continuing concern and deep disquiet over the appointment because although Canon John 
has declared that he is now sexually abstinent, he has never publicly repented of his past 
homosexual conduct and has continued to criticise the teaching of the Church of England and 
the Anglican Communion over sexual morality. 

Despite assurances that have been given about his future conduct and teaching,  the way he has 
used his existing position at Southwark as a platform to promote acceptance of same sex 
relationships within the Church of England gives us grave concerns as to what would happen 
in the future.  We fear that Canon John would use his new position to continue to promote his 
personal beliefs about same-sex relationships and same sex blessings.

Furthermore whether he does this or not the preferment of such a prominent figure to a senior 
appointment will inevitably be seen as a sign that the Church of England is changing its 
position on this matter and will in due course proceed down the path already taken by ECUSA 
and the Anglican Church in Canada. The perception that this is the case will in turn add to 
the divisions that are opening up within the Anglican Communion and ecumenically over the 
issue of human sexuality(…)

Passion offered in 'church packs'
AP   2004-06-13 02:03:18  
Indianapolis Star - Indianapolis,IN,USA
LITTLE ROCK, ARK. -- Mainstream retailer Sam's Club is offering 50-copy "church packs" of Mel 
Gibson's The Passion of the Christ, in a twist on usual ways of selling to religious groups. 
Advance sales for the film's Aug. 31 release on DVD and video cassette already have exceeded 
expectations for the retailer, the warehouse club division of Wal-Mart.

Though specialized companies usually handle sales to religious groups and stores -- Passion has
 different distributors for the secular and religious markets -- the bulk packaging of the film 
fits the Sam's Club strategy, company spokesperson Jolanda Stewart said.

"Focusing on small business is our mission and that includes churches and religious segments," 
Stewart said.

Church groups had already shown enthusiasm for the movie when it was released on the big screen 
in February, even renting theatres for private screenings.

Sam's is selling 50 DVDs in a pack for $898 US, a rate of $17.96 apiece, and 50 videocassettes for 
$795, a rate of $15.90 apiece.

"Sam's Club has been a competitor with other Christian titles, but actually going into the church 
market is a different kind of world," said an industry spokesperson.
