GAY TRUTH

Supporters of a change in the Church of England’s stance on sexuality have voiced dismay after a new panel of bishops to help “discern” its future course on issues such as same-sex marriage was chosen seemingly dominated traditionalists. These amazed liberals neither know nor understand the scriptures. They violate Romans 1:27 and in fact are included in God's condemnation by supporting the notion of homosexual marriage as prohibited by scripture. The 10-strong “Bishop’s Reflection Group” appointed by the Archbishops of Canterbury and York includes a string of prominent evangelicals and some seen as staunch conservatives but no-one who has openly advocated a change in teaching or practice on the issue. Liberals voiced anger while opponents of any change also privately hailed the make-up of the group, set up after a four-day gathering of all the bishops last week, as better than they expected from their point of view. The Church of England is on the border of being apostate. Th

After 13 years of rancor over conflicting views on homosexuality, the archbishops of the Anglican Communion have voted to impose sanctions for three years on the Episcopal Church , the American branch of the Communion, for its decision last summer to allow clergy to perform   same-sex marriages , church officials said. News of the archbishops’ decision to discipline the American church leaked out near the end of a weeklong meeting in England called by the Most Rev. Justin Welby , the archbishop of Canterbury . He had summoned the archbishops to Canterbury in an effort to break the bitter impasse that has divided the Anglican Communion since the Episcopal Church consecrated an   openly gay bishop   in New Hampshire in 2003. The sanctions — essentially limiting participation in Anglican Communion affairs — do not call for any change in policy by the American church. Conservative Anglican archbishops said that while they were pleased by the sanctions, the move did not go far

According to Wikipedia, the Anglican Communion , which consists of the Church of England and those churches in other countries that are in full communion with it, has 80 million members. Statistically-speaking, the name “Anglican,” as in “England,” is a misnomer. It should be more properly named the “African Communion.” As historian Philip Jenkins has noted, the typical Anglican is not a middle-to-upper-class Englishman, but instead, a poor African woman. Demographic diversity poses no threat to the Anglican Communion. On the contrary, it has revitalized Anglicanism even as membership and participation has declined precipitously in England and North America. What poses a major threat, however, is theological diversity, a.k.a., apostasy and heresy, courtesy of the American Episcopal Church. A recent story in Britain’s Daily Mail told readers that Church leaders from Africa and Asia, led by Bishops from Nigeria, Kenya, and Uganda, “are threatening to walk out of a crucial

(Photo credit: Wikipedia ) The bishops of the U.S. Episcopal Church gave the green light last week for clergy to perform same-sex “weddings,” in a heavily-debated fundamental change set to come in the door incrementally. As of November 1 of this year homosexual couples will have the right to be “married” in the church, the result of new liturgies for same-sex couples approved Wednesday at the denomination’s General Convention in Salt Lake City . The bishops also accepted changing the church’s canons (rules) governing marriage, to make them gender neutral, thus replacing the terms “man and woman” with “couple.” Episcopal clergy however, will be allowed to refuse to perform a homosexual “marriage” with the promise they would not be penalized, and individual bishops were also given the righ

LLANDUDNO, Wales ,  – The Anglican Church ’s “views have evolved and changed” on the nature of marriage “a subject which Jesus pronounced very clearly,” the head of the Anglican Church in Wales said this week; therefore, it can also change its teaching on homosexuality. In  an address  to the governing body of the Church in Wales, Dr. Barry Morgan, the Anglican Archbishop of Wales warned of the danger of the Anglican Churches being “seen as homophobic.” Morgan said that the Church’s views “evolve and change” as it responds to the changes in the secular world. Abp. Barry Morgan of Wales “The State allowed the possibility of divorce and remarriage for a long time before we did as a Church. Not only do we now bless such unions, we actually remarry divorced people in our churches,” he said. “Some people have changed their minds for example on women’s ministry and same-sex relationships when they have experienced the ministry of a woman priest in the one case, or discovere

ROME, March 21, 2013 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – On the day of his enthronement as Archbishop of Canterbury , Justin Welby has sent an “olive branch” message to one of the UK’s leading homosexual campaigners, Peter Tatchell , inviting him to discuss “gay marriage.” Welby is said to be still “thinking through” his position on the government’s proposed redefinition of marriage . While they supported homosexual civil unions, the Church of England has  formally opposed  the government’s plans to rewrite the marriage law, though the position of many of its bishops and clergy remains ambivalent. Welby’s invitation to Tatchell comes in response to  an open letter  from the gay campaigner in which he accused Welby of “homophobia” for his opposition to changing the law. Bishop Michael Nazir-Ali . “You claim that you are not homophobic but a person who opposes legal equality for LGBT people is homophobic – in the same way that a person who opposes equal rights for black people is racis

LONDON, November 9, 2012, ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – Prime Minister David Cameron has chosen Justin Welby , the former bishop of Durham, as the new Archbishop of Canterbury to replace Rowan Williams . Welby has wasted no time in revealing his interests and intentions regarding the hot button issues facing the Church of England like homosexuality in the clergy and the ordination of female bishops. In comments that are unlikely to settle any of the disputes within the 77 million member global Anglican Communion , Welby said he agrees with the Church of England bishops’ opposition to “gay marriage” but wholeheartedly supports the ordination of women. “In 10 days or so the general Synod will vote on the ordination of women as bishops,” he said. “I will be voting in favour and join my voice to many others in urging the Synod to go forward with this change.” In a brief speech following the announcement of his appointment, Welby said he supports the decision of the House of Bishops to oppo
