He is using his cash to stir up the most divisive row facing the Anglican Church, one that threatens to rip it apart

So glad we've finally unmasked the cause of this ungodly mess (not).

it is OK for Ben and Jerry to fund junk science and the humanist religon, but there is something wrong with a conservative that funds their beliefs. the english left should stick your old fashioned viet dam era ideas where the sun don't shine.

LOL! "Oh my goodness! some conservative Christians have a lot of money and...and...they tend to use it to support conservative Christian causes!! who allowed this to happen!! the sky is falling, the sky is falling!"

You have to love the predictably uninclusive way the pseudo-inclusive Left deals with anyone who disagrees with them....

How come conservative millionaires who donate to conservative causes Pure EEEvil and liberal milionaires who donate to liberal causes saints?

[stands2reason]

When was the last time any mainstream paper pointed out any "controversial left-wing" causes?

a magazine called the Chalcedon Report , which carried an article calling for gays to be stoned;

Don't know anything about that, but 15 years ago I learned about a Chalcedon Report that talked about a proposal to require that parents be licensed to raise their own children.. Sceptical, I looked up the resources and found the situation worse than presented. But as the proposers themselves noted, this would be a very unpopular requirement and extremely difficult to overcome, and so far it has proved more difficult than they themselves imagined. (The hooks they latched onto are the requirements for adoptive parents; so stringent that most birth parents would rebel.)

This hit piece attacks a person who has given a great deal of money to help children in Africa, start schools, revitalize small towns, and other worthy projects. It takes other things this good family has done totally out of context. It is disgusting.

Liberals really resent it when conservatives challenge one of their monopolies. 95% of the media are liberal, but they feel obliged to go after Rush. 95% of foundations and donors to causes of this kind are liberal, but they feel obliged to go after Ahmanson or any conservative who ventures to support conservative causes.

They cheered when Ted Turner offered a billion dollars to help the UN abort babies around the world.

Where is the outrage on Soros setting up his non-profit ($10,000,000 LOL) with stated purpose of ensuring that Bush does not get re-elected!

The Soros strategy is more about who Soros wants to get elected than it is about Bush being re-elected.

Back to the subject at hand: The demarcation line is being drawn - real Christians will have to come out of the whore churches! The LORD God will be worshiped in Spirit and in TRUTH (The WORD THE LAW of GOD) not in blasphemy of the Holy Spirit.

What is known is that in the 1990s Ahmanson, whose family made a fortune in banking, subsidised a number of controversial right-wing causes. These include a magazine called the Chalcedon Report , which carried an article calling for gays to be stoned; a think-tank called the Claremont Institute which promoted a video in which Charlton Heston praises 'the God-fearing Caucasian middle class'; and a scientific body which rejects the theory of evolution.

I've found the Claremont Institute to be a great resource for understanding the guiding principles of our nation's founders. The institute seems to be a driving force in conservative thought.

So I thought I'd check out the Observers other boogie-man, the Chalcedon Report. I was glad I did. It seems to be a really good magazine.

It's amazing how another person's bad taste can be used to one's advantage.

Yeah, no kidding. This article makes it sound like he stormed into a convent, kicking over tables and demanding satisfaction. It's the OTHER side that's forcing its views on the church, dang it! They don't TITHE, either.

America's religious right draws a line in the sand as Anglican primates meet in London.

Ummm . . . no disrespect intended . . . but the only image that comes to mind when I see or hear "primates" is a bunch of screaming monkeys !!!
