Traditional Anglican ping, continued in memory of its founder Arlin Adams.

FReepmail sionnsar if you want on or off this moderately high-volume ping list (typically 3-9 pings/day).
This list is pinged by sionnsar, Huber and newheart.

Interesting that they note that embracing the gay agenda would actually threaten the very existence of the church.

They usually deny that.

One response would be "Go to Hell!" perhaps they ought to mind their own business and stay out of ecclesiastical affairs.

A good spot for one of my favorite Winston Churchill quotes (about Ramsay McDonald):

I remember when I was a child, being taken to the celebrated Barnum's Circus, which contained an exhibition of freaks and monstrosities, but the exhibit on the program which I most desired to see was the one described as "The Boneless Wonder". My parents judged that the spectacle would be too demoralizing and revolting for my youthful eye and I have waited fifty years, to see The Boneless Wonder sitting on the Treasury Bench.

...the Archbishop of Canterbury has put the survival of his Church before the safety and well-being of gay people.

I'd say he put the salvation of the many before the queer, suicidal indulgences of the few.

Why would a Humanist association give two hoots about what a church thinks, anyway?

"When asked in the interview about the extreme homophobic views of Rev Peter Akinola of Nigeria, the Archbishop refused to condemn him or to take the side of those innocent gay people who this terrible bigot is persecuting," said Broadhead. . . . . "Dr Williams is not being diplomatic, he is being spineless. He is more concerned that the Anglican Communion survives than he is with the injustices being done to gay people by members of his own religion," said Broadhead.

My goodness. Are we to believe that Anglicans are suddenly persecuting homosexuals and inflicting injustices upon them? That seems out of character.

I wonder what this Broadhead fellow considers to be persecution. Are we talking about physical beatings, starvation, perhaps an occasional burning at the stake? Or maybe homosexuals are being deprived of the right to work, to speak, vote, or associate?

Or perhaps Mr. Broadhead is just another drama queen.

I understand now. Failure to affirm and celebrate = "vicious attacks" and "persecution". Not allowing them to profane the church and holy matrimony = "threatening their safety and well-being".

Garbage.
