I come to this issue as a man who is a Christian, ordained for 25 years, a gay man, in a committed relationship myself. I come to this meeting with the support of my partner Thomas, my family, my parish, my bishop, my diocese. And I have brought with me the very first Bible I received when I was just 4 years old. In it, in my handwriting, are the words, "Today I gave Jesus my life." It's dated March 29, 1962. I was eight years old. He has reviewed movies for the Anglican Journal the national newspaper of the Anglican Church of Canada and for the newspaper of the Anglican Church of Australia. In 1999, his film reviews received an award of excellence from the Associated Church Press. In Vancouver, Christ Church Cathedral has held the popular readings during most Advent seasons since 1995. In 2009 he and his long time partner, Thomas Roach, were married in a civil ceremony. In 2009 the Vancouver School of Theology awarded Elliott the degree of Doctor of Divinity (honoris causa); in 2011 he was elected as chancellor of the Vancouver School of Theology. In 2012 he represented the Canadian church at the Anglican Consultative Council in Auckland, New Zealand. Following the retirement of the diocesan bishop, Michael Ingham, and the see being vacant, on 31 August 2013, Elliott, as Dean of New Westminster became administrator of the diocese. He continued as administrator until the ordination and installation of the next bishop, Melissa M. Skelton, on 1 March 2014. On 7 September 2014, there was special tribute in words and music paid to Elliott by the Christ Church Cathedral community in honour of his 20th anniversary as rector of the cathedral and dean of the diocese. Diocesan Communications Officer and Canadian musician Randy Murray participated in the tribute performance. From 2015, through to the dedication of the new bell tower 17 November 2016, Elliott with Christ Church Cathedral leadership embarked on a program to replace the building's roof, build a full scale commercial grade kitchen that would be fully staffed to serve community meals on weekdays, build a bell tower on the Cathedral's property footprint and have four bells created for that tower. The "Raise the Roof, Ring the Bells, Feed the Hungry" campaign was successfully funded and completed. LINK

Питер Эллиотт (род. 19 мая 1954 года в Сент-Катаринсе, Онтарио) – канадский священник. Он является бывшим (отставным) ректором собора Христовой церкви и деканом Нью-Вестминстера в Англиканской церкви Канады. Эллиотт вырос в Сент-Катаринсе, Онтарио. В 1976 году получил степень бакалавра искусств по английской литературе и философии в Университете Трента в Питерборо, Онтарио. Впоследствии он поступил и окончил епископскую богословскую школу в Кембридже, штат Массачусетс. В 1981 году был рукоположен в священники в Ниагарской епархии. Епархия Нью-Вестминстера была упомянута в отчете Виндзора и на встрече приматов Англиканского Содружества по вопросу о благословении однополых союзов. На посту Пролокутора Эллиотт был самым высокопоставленным открытым геем среди священнослужителей в Англиканской церкви Канады. В 2005 году он выступил с официальной презентацией на Англиканском консультативном совете в Ноттингеме, Англия. Он сказал: «Я прихожу к этому вопросу как христианин, рукоположенный 25 лет назад, гей, состоящий в долгосрочных отношениях. Я пришел на эту встречу с поддержкой моего партнера Томаса, моей семьи, прихода, епископа и епархии. И я принес с собой первую Библию, которую получил в четыре года. Там, моим почерком, написано: «Сегодня я отдал свою жизнь Иисусу». Дата – 29 марта 1962 года. Мне было восемь лет». Он рецензировал фильмы для «Anglican Journal» – национальной газеты Англиканской церкви Канады, и для газеты Англиканской церкви Австралии. В 1999 году его кинорецензии получили награду за выдающиеся достижения от Associated Church Press. В Ванкувере собор Христовой церкви регулярно проводит популярные чтения во время Адвента с 1995 года. В 2009 году он и его давний партнер Томас Роуч заключили гражданский брак. В 2009 году Ванкуверская школа теологии присвоила Эллиотту степень доктора богословия (honoris causa), а в 2011 году он был избран канцлером Ванкуверской школы теологии. В 2012 году он представлял канадскую церковь на Англиканском консультативном совете в Окленде, Новая Зеландия. После ухода в отставку епархиального епископа Майкла Ингема и вакансии кафедры, 31 августа 2013 года Эллиотт, как декан Нью-Вестминстера, стал администратором епархии. Он оставался администратором до рукоположения и интронизации следующего епископа, Мелиссы М. Скельтон, 1 марта 2014 года. 7 сентября 2014 года община собора Христовой церкви организовала специальный вечер в честь 20-летия Эллиотта в качестве ректора собора и декана епархии. В торжественном выступлении приняли участие сотрудник епархии по связям с общественностью и канадский музыкант Рэнди Мюррей. С 2015 года и до освящения новой колокольни 17 ноября 2016 года Эллиотт вместе с руководством собора Христовой церкви реализовал программу по замене крыши здания, строительству полномасштабной профессиональной кухни для приготовления и раздачи бесплатных обедов в будние дни, возведению колокольни на территории собора и изготовлению четырех колоколов для нее. Кампания «Подними крышу, звони в колокола, накорми голодных» была успешно профинансирована и завершена. С апреля по июль 2018 года Эллиотт ушел в отпуск, чтобы разработать планы по выходу на пенсию со своего поста в соборе Христовой церкви и епархии Нью-Вестминстера. 9 сентября 2018 года Эллиотт объявил о своем уходе с поста декана и ректора собора Христовой церкви 30 сентября 2019 года. 1 января 2022 года Эллиотт был назначен исполняющим обязанности директора по англиканскому образованию в Ванкуверской школе теологии на весенний семестр, помимо своей работы в качестве преподавателя. В настоящее время он является адъюнкт-профессором Ванкуверской школы теологии, а также ведет частную практику через Elliott Resource Services, Pacific в качестве консультанта и коуча. Он является автором статей об искусстве и культуре в национальной газете Англиканской церкви Канады – «Anglican Journal», и со-ведущим популярного подкаста «Евангелие и мюзикл» вместе с деканом Натаном ЛеРудом, который производится Троицким епископальным собором в Портленде, штат Орегон.
