Anglican clergy expel endless volumes of hot air on climate change, racism, mosquito nets, universal basic income, gender-based violence \u2013 and so on. Nothing about Jesus, salvation, eternity, heaven and hell, of course, but we\u2019ll save that for another time. They would like you to think that these weighty temporal predicaments occupy every minute of their waking thoughts. It\u2019s not true. What really excites the average Anglican bishop is sex. They can\u2019t get enough of it \u2013 particularly the homoerotic variety. When sex is on the agenda, the climate can boil for all they care.<\/p>\n

There are so many bishops foaming at the mouth in horror at the very, very<\/em> small possibility that they may be asked to consider that the only legitimate form of marriage is between a man and a woman<\/a>, that it would waste terabytes of bandwidth to list them \u2013 so I will confine myself to some Canadian bishops:<\/p>\n

Here<\/a> is the statement from Bishop Susan Bell:<\/p>\n

I know there has been concern over the proposed reaffirmation of Lambeth Resolution 1.10. Please be assured that in our discussions, in our fellowship, and in our conclusions, I will bear witness to the many decisions we have made in the Diocese of Niagara to embrace equal marriage and uphold the dignity of every human being.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And here<\/a> is the statement from the Diocese of Edmonton\u2019s Bishop Stephen London:<\/p>\n

I do have to say I was extremely disappointed to see in the resolution about Human Dignity that there is a call to reaffirm Lambeth resolution I.10, from 1998, which is against marriage equality for our LGBTQ+ community. This goes against what I thought we were doing in speaking where we find we have a common mind as a communion. It is clear that there is no common mind on this issue<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Here is Sam Rose, bishop of Eastern Newfoundland and Labrador:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And here is Todd Townshend, Bishop of the Diocese of Huron (click on the image to read it more clearly):<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And last (for the moment), but not least, Anna Greenwood-Lee, Bishop of the Diocese of BC:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

To anticipate the objection that this is all about\u00a0love<\/em> – it isn’t, it’s about sex.<\/p>\n

If the homosexual clergy in the Anglican church simply loved other men but either did not want or had no intention of having sex with them, none of this would be being discussed. Lambeth resolution 1.10 would not have been written, the communion would not be divided, GAFCON and ACNA would not exist.<\/p>\n

It is all about sex; clergy who deny this are trying to deceive you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
