Yep. Diversity of morals. That's the ticket. The Anglican dithering is an excellent recruitment tool for the Catholic Church and Evangelicals anyway.

"The Anglicans must accept and support moral diversity" = "The Anglicans must accept and support evil"

Some churches have a conflict of interest with doctrine. They would LIKE to preach the gospel but to do so in any meaningful way that would lead a sinner to repentance may be too harsh for the ones already in attendance that are paying the bills. One does not have to read to far into the Gospels to KNOW what Jesus would have done. He would preach the TRUTH no matter how difficult it would be for hearer to accept because there is no other way for a person to realize the offensive nature of their sins are to God.

More proof that religions are another form of sinful activity - the Bible gives us God's Word and the religions decide to pervert His Holy Word to suit their own sick tastes.

The standard steps in progress.

1) "We must understand < fill in the blank >."
2) "We must tolerate < fill in the blank >."
3) "We must accept < fill in the blank >."
4) "We must actively welcome < fill in the blank >."
5) If you aren't for < fill in the blank >, you are evil."

Western church teachings on issues such as humanity's proneness to sin and need for redemption

Whooboy!! Is this guy confused!! From the way the article is written, I would surmise he may be homosexual.

now we go from free speech to RESPONSIBLE speech

in religion we go from teaching morality to ACCEPTING moral diversity.

Hitler was ok by that logic, he was just morally diverse.

Not every Priest gets to be Bishop. Does anybody think that Robinson would have been elected with the same personal history, having left his wife of many years after a long term affair, and then living with this lover who had broken up his marriage, if he had left her for another woman instead of a man?

A liberal Church - let's just say the Anglican Church is not your Victorian Church Of England anymore.

This whole misguided mess has been a recruitment tool for the millions who are fed up and just don't go to church any longer.

So much for spiritual leadership. More examples of a church trying to play catch-up with the world in its present moral-liberal slide.

"Moral Diversity" - Hedonistic self destructive activities and actions are equivalent with helpful and beneficial activities and actions.

Jeez, these guys can't even make up a lie that would fool a 5 year old.
