LONDON — Conservative leaders within the Anglican Communion have signed a letter urging the archbishop of Canterbury to rethink his personal views on homosexuality, and to crack down on the U.S. Episcopal Church and the Anglican Church of Canada.

The letter to Archbishop Rowan Williams, dated Wednesday, bore the signatures of a number of conservative Anglicans, including Archbishop Peter J. Akinola of Nigeria, who have accused the U.S. and Canadian churches of violating Biblical teaching by affirming gay relationships.

"All treat scripture seriously and it is essential that we are open to sharing our insights"

Evidently some scripture gets treated more seriously than other.

Romans 2:27

[Dems_R_Losers]

I would sure like someone to show me the section of Scripture where God approves of homosexuality.

[MeanWestTexan]

It's in the part where he re-builds Sodom and Gomorrah.

Correction:
make that
Romans 1:27
"the males likewise gave up natural relations with females and burned with lust for one another. Males did shameful things with males and thus received in their own persons the due penalty for their perversity."

Speak the truth in love. Eph 4:15

[Vicomte13]

"the males likewise gave up natural relations with females and burned with lust for one another. Males did shameful things with males and thus received in their own persons the due penalty for their perversity."

Read literally, that might mean that if you do it, and die of AIDS, you've paid the price for that perversity already on Earth and don't owe more for that particular sin in Purgatory.

I would sure like someone to show me the section of Scripture
where God approves of homosexuality.

Surely some bright fiction writer can top Dan Brown (The DaVinci Code)
and write a potboiler about how the Catholic Church has suppressed
G-d's apology to Sodom and Gomorrha (sp?).

LOL!
