Why is it so difficult for liberals to understand that Christians don't want homosexuals tortured, murdered, or unjustly discriminated against in the workplace, while at the same time refusing to grant them privelages like marriage, adoption, and priestly ordination(when they are openly gay)?

The good archbishop must finally decide if he is called to run an organization...
Or....
Called of God to minister and serve the Living Body of Jesus...

There is a huge difference in the perception of these two tasks...

The latter is a holy, reverently fearful and irrevocable devotion governed by the Word and empowered by the Holy Spirit....

The former is merely structure of men, ostensibly engaged to support the living Body...

Yet lately subject to the fickle winds of demonic doctrine blowing through a politically correct humanist worldview.,,, and oft-tending to stray from the Word and deny the Spirit's power

Make up your mind, Very Rt Rev Williams...
You cannot have it both ways...

And you WILL indeed answer to the Master for your choice.

Actually, Tony Blair saw to it that the Queen appointed Rowan Williams to this office because he is pro-gay.

There's really no reason to think that has changed. IMHO, Williams is merely raising some "go slow" signs. He doesn't want to go down in history as the leader who presided over the destruction of the Anglican Communion. But he also fudges and waffles and never truly condemns the notion of woman priests, woman bishops, homosexual priests, or homosexual bishops.

He simply recognizes that there must be a two steps forward and one step back pattern to implementing this subversion of the Anglican Church. The activists went too far too fast, and now it's time for a pause before the next homosexual bishop is appointed.
