I wonder about the educational standards for Anglican clergy here in America as well.

I struck up a conversation with a priest of a church near me who’s Anglicanism resulted from a break some 30 years ago with Episcopalianism over this very issue. When I mentioned the Seven Laws of Noah he gave a blank stare, and I actually had to explain it to him. I was too dumbfounded to ask him at the time whether he’d ever actually studied the Old Testament in seminary. Though I do see him around occasionally and would certainly like to revisit this issue.

Essentially yes, when one thinks about it. Just transfer the genders.

While these passages are frequently cited in response to horribly wrongheaded claims about homosexuality, they also apply to people.... who may consider themselves to be “Christian”, but who are living with their girl friends without being married.

I agree. Many of my “Christain” friends are shacking up, and getting tattoos and wearing their “faith” on their sleeve's. I believe Evangelical means “being Christain when it's convenient to be”.

Excellent discussion on Seven Laws, from Jewish standpoint
