That whole sense of community thing and love for they fellow man is just out the door eh?
Anglicans in many parts of the world reacted angrily Wednesday to U.S. Episcopalians’ confirmation of their first openly gay bishop, with some threatening to cut ties with the American church. The archbishop of Canterbury tried to avert a split.
The Anglicans’ spiritual leader, Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, appealed for opponents not to act rashly in response to the Rev. V. Gene Robinson’s approval Tuesday as bishop of New Hampshire. But Williams acknowledged it would inevitably have a “significant impact” on the worldwide Anglican Communion.
If it’s that easy to break ties with your faith, why would you devote your time to it in the first place? Is there no room for tolerance in the church? What really is the difference in him being openly gay and preaching while there are certainly a handful of others who are closeted and preaching? Would their words instantly become less meaningful if their true sexual determination was known?
I’m not trying to make any points here. I’m really asking these questions. Just trying to understand the world.
