The 41st General Synod of the Anglican Church of Canada took place from July 7-12, 2016 at the Sheraton Parkway Toronto North Hotel and Suites, Richmond Hill, Ont. in the Diocese of Toronto.Among other orders of business was a vote on whether or not the Anglican Church of Canada should bless same-sex marriages.
The vote came down and bishops voted 68.42 percent in favor of the resolution, and the lay delegates voted 72.22 per cent in favor. However, the clergy voted 66.23 per cent, just missing the percentage needed.
As a result, the church will not bless same-sex marriages.
