Homosexual marriage threatens Anglican unity
Writing on behalf of the Church of England, two bishops warned the Church of Sweden that its potential use of gender-neutral marriage ceremonies would “undermine the fragile unity of the Anglican Communion.”
Despite a similar plea from Archbishop Rowan Williams-- the worldwide leader of the Anglican Communion-- the consensus is continuing to develop among Episcopal Church leaders in the United States that support for homosexuality is of greater value than Anglican unity.
Dr. William Stayton pushes the logic to the extent that he advocates liberalising laws on pederasty and bestiality.
IMO: It does seem to me that gay marriage was not regarded as even a sane idea until quite recently. In practice the so-called 'marriages' are likely to turn into little more than a home base for cottaging. What should be done ? Surely the C.of E. should have looked at the matter sensibly, rather than allowing it to be used as a campaigning issue. I can remember my old army sergeant saying many years ago (the RCs apparently doing it already, even now the Irish Govt have to pay 90% of the victim's compensation claims) "next they will be buggering the choir boys on the altar during the service". Maybe it is getting close to that point now, I would not wish to set a foot inside their immoral establishments.
