A new primate for Canada!
The final tally on the 5th ballot.
Fred Hiltz 60 / 81
Victoria Matthews 56 /56
A strong showing among the laity in the second ballot was obviously quite convincing. This is not unknown in episcopal elections, for example. I can think of at least two elections where the clergy house has moved quite dramatically towards the laity. It's not the result I had expected but then what are expectations but a very common blockage to good and holy movements in human experience. God's blessing on Fred Hiltz!
