The Archbishop of Canterbury has equated gay sexual relationships to heterosexual marriage.Leaked private letters from eight years ago reveal Rowan Williams's innermost thoughts on gay partnerships, which he says can 'reflect the love of God'.
Oh dear. There is only ONE way that this thinking can be adopted and that is if man's 'wisdom' is regarded as more important than that of the Scriptures.
The 'ordinary' Christian must love the sinner - there is no argument here.
It is however, most emphatically not the function of a senior churchman to reclassify a sin. Hypocrisy is the only conclusion which may be drawn.
I am afraid that the argument that 'there are some wonderful pockets of practising Christianity within the Anglican Communion' can no longer hold water.
The Anglican Church is fragmenting and it is right that it should.
