UGANDA: Gay Row - U.S. Pastor Rick Warren Supports Country On Boycott

FAMED American pastor, Dr Rick Warren has said he supports the decision by Ugandan bishops to boycott the forthcoming Lamebth conference in England, United Kingdom.

The conference brings together Bishops of the Anglican Communion from all 38 Provinces of the Communion every 10 years.

"The Church of England is wrong and I support the Church of Uganda(CoU) on the boycott,"Dr Warren said on Thursday shortly after arriving in Uganda.

The Bishops are protesting the Church of England's tolerance a homosexuality. Announcing the boycott in February, Archbishop Henry Luke Orombi said that Uganda's action had been prompted by the invitation of bishops of The US Episcopal Church (TEC) who in 2003 elected as bishop, Gene Robinson, a divorced man living in an active homosexual relationship.

Rev. Orombi said the Archbishops of all the 38 Provinces of the Anglican Communion strongly opposed the election of Gene Robinson as bishop - and in a meeting shortly after the election "warned that, if they proceeded with the consecration, their action would "tear the fabric of the Anglican Communion at its deepest level."

Dr Warren said that homosexuality is not a natural way of life and thus not a human right. "We shall not tolerate this aspect at all," Dr Warren said.

"Tolerance is not the problem."

Jesus specifically condemned the Church at Thyatira for "tolerating" sexual sin within the congregation.

I side with the Ugandans protesting the COE.

The point I was trying to make is that Rick Warren has publicly shamed other Christian organizations for doing the same thing (separating fellowship from theological liberals and apostates).

Sorry to be obtuse, but were you making some point relative to Chalke, Colson and Kreeft?

I guess my question would be, why would anyone in the whole Anglican Collective Communion thing care what Rev. Rick thinks? Why does Rick think they would?

Ding! Ding! Ding! He has NO standing within the Anglican Communion.

As for the reason, Rick has convinced himself that he's so important his opinions are relevant.

He is wrong on both counts.
