What precisely is this "listening process" I read so much about?

Kolokotronis, you don't ask questions of precision of Anglicans; I thought you knew that!

This "listening process" is a sham that the left snookered the right into. As long as you don't completely embrace the practicing-gay lifestyle, you aren't listening hard enough. What's in it for the orthodox, other than delaying the inevitable (in the hope that it's not inevitable?), I'm not sure.

Actually, S, I wasn't being facetious. Does it actually mean listening, as with the ears, to them tell their stories? If so, aside from keeping the orthodox engaged with "listening" while the lesbigay sappers undermine the foundations of the Anglican communion, are the orthodox supposed to hear something which will convince them that sin is not sin. If that is so, this seems to be a potentially successful tactic and one which has a bright future in much of protestantism which seems to have fully rejected the "metanoia" required of Christians if the Fathers and the Scriptures are to taken at all seriously. What I mean is, people in the West today really don't want to hear that they have to change their ways and die to the self. That's a hard thing for a hard working middle class American with a house in suburbia, two cars and bills to pay to hear; even harder to implement.
