A small number of ministers have openly proclaimed that the Holy Spirit is leading us in this direction. They predict that our Church will have to yield to what Mr. Macdonald represents. Lachine is a beachhead. There is also a fifth column in the Church. Teachers at our colleges quietly endorse the gay campaign.
Leaders voice a spirit of resignation.
The Editor of The Presbyterian Record wrote in favour of a sabbatical in the debate. Those who are pushing for change are not on sabbatical. Like Quebec nationalist politicians, who want to hold referendums until they win, our would-be reformers plan to keep pushing and agitating until the Church forgets its previous decisions and they get what they want. Then our leaders will stop apologizing. Then the debate will be over.
