While studying at Durham University, Durham, England, I ran into many Anglican priests and ministers. I was told by nearly all of them that at least 75% of the clergy in England were homosexual, and nearly all the Anglo-Catholics. If this is true, and I believe that it is, you can see the problem that Dr. Williams faces. This situation, at least in America, began with Bishop Pike when the Episcopal church declared that there was no such thing as heresy. If you want to see what liberalism does to a denomination, just keep your eye on the Anglicans. It should prove instructive.

These are mutually exclusive as homosexuality is proscribed by all Catholic theology whether Eastern or Western. More likely these homosexuals had some renegade theology or another that included playing dress-up.

How very, very sad.  Thanks so much for your firsthand account.
