What the --ll?

[John Beresford Tipton]

Blimey, the man has a gay canon?

[verity]

But canons are supposed to be gender neutral:~)

[Semper Paratus]

The new Gay Canon has a big gun.

[martin_fierro]

Great. I'm sure we can trust him with the choirboys.

Come on, you must be joking.

Anglicans: Come Home

[chatham]

Ah , the end of another Church.
according to reports 50% of all Catholic Priests are Homosexuals.

There are already enough splits in the Episcopal Church to make it irrelevant. One more will only hasten its complete demise.

"We live in a post-modern world and we have to listen to each other."

In the post-modern mindset, truth is unknowable. The only truth is absurdity: there is no truth, only relavance and irrelavance, perceived right and perceived wrong. And the illogical conclusion of the post-modern mindset that "we have to listen to each other" to discover moral right and wrong reveals a disdain for traditional norms, e.g., the Bible. The Bible is no longer relavant.

"America is way ahead of anyone in the British Anglican Church. I would like to see us follow suit. That's the way forward. I don't think any British Anglicans are men of courage or conviction; they are frightened and timid - unlike Gene Robinson."

This statement could not be a bigger lie. British Anglicans having true moral conviction are frightened and timid? Those who oppose moral decay are called bigots and persecuted psychologically and economically. It takes true courage to debate moral relativists, whose positions shift with every fashionable perception of necessity.

"He has also attracted strong support among young people who have dubbed him "Canon Dude".

Popularity may be the hallmark of institutionalized amorality. Institutions murder prophets urging moral behavior, making persecution the likely hallmark of truth.

What reports? Please cite the source of your statement.

[SMW]

One more example of "mainstreaming" homosexually; Gays are winning the argument - homosexually behavior is within the normal range of general human behavior.

[SMEDLEYBUTLER]

Unsubstantiated reports.

[TheGeezer]

From the diocesan website: 'My wife and I, in order to KEEP [author's emphasis, not mine] our wedding vow to "honor [each other] in the Name of God," made the decision to let each other go'

Post-modernist logic. Break a vow to keep a vow...

[BOOTSTICK]

Don't these people ever read the Bible? No small wonder their attendance is in the toilet. Liberalism in all it's incarnations corrupts.

[headsonpikes]

Organized Religion bump.

[Bosco]

If I were in the Anglican church in this diocese, I would thank them for being honest about their beliefs and leave the church and worship God with another congregation. I would also encourage them to repent of their sin.

[Kevin Curry]

Post-modernist logic. Break a vow to keep a vow . . .

And it's the same vow. How illogical, corrupt, and deceitful is that?

[Kevin Curry]

Organized Religion bump.

As opposed to your disorganized irreligion?

You have no basis to comment intelligently let alone spiritually.
