Anglican leaders are currently in England hammering out their differences. And those differences are immense.
While some Western representatives support gay inclusion, others aren’t feeling so welcoming. This, of course, puts spiritual leader Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury, in an awkward position. Thus, hoping to keep the international communion from crumbling, Williams yesterday came out against homo sex:
The Archbishop of Canterbury has continued his quest for Anglican unity with a strong statement against living in sin and gay sex.
Dr Williams said: “I do not believe that sex outside marriage is as God purposes it.”
And he said he remained “committed” to the Church’s official stance against gay sex, which aims to preserve Biblical norms.
Williams also dismissed rumors of an Anglican schism, saying, “If it is the end of the Anglican Communion I do not think anyone has told most of the people here.”

Its as if the Anglican church has nothing else to discourse other than SEX Why don’t they talk about all the other mischiefs in their church like their bishops and reverends having concubines out of their marital beds and the corruption that is eating up the church.

I don’t accept gay marriage and sex outside of marriage is a sin so fuck off gay people.
— Archbishop Mr. Bean

The sex-outside-marriage wouldn’t be a problem if they agreed to support gay marriage. So I guess it’s goodbye to the Anglicans for now?

His stuffy Victorian god doesn’t like sex outide marriage, a majority of other pantheistic gods disagree. Zeus, Apollo, the tooth fairy.

I’m not even sorry that I could not care less what the Anglican Church believes or does not believe about gay sex or sex outside of marriage. This is a group of people who claim to live their lives based on a collection of folktales, and rules developed from those folktales, and I’m supposed to care what they think about my lifestyle?

Who cares what Anglicans may say anyway?…what about the Anglican African bishops who bring their mistresses and make them pass for secretaries, personal assistants and so forth?….no wonder why the Church of England is a walking corpse….

That also means that more than half of the Anglican clergy will have to renounce their ordination…as we all know most of Anglican/Episcopal priests are closeted homos…
