Description

February Toronto MCC decided to end its four-year tenancy at Holy Trinity Anglican Church after Anglican Bishop Lewis Garnsworthy of the Toronto diocese, and rector of Holy Trinity, stated that MCC would have to conduct its blessing of homosexual relationships ("holy unions") elsewhere. Garnsworthy's directive followed the February 3 statement by the House of Bishops of the Anglican Church of Canada that the Church would not perform holy unions for homosexual couples. (See also February 3, 1978.)
