Um, you've got millions of people convinced this is God's will and millions convinced it is the devil's. As Kieren said, no one can prove that God has changed his mind regarding homosexuality. Likewise, no one can prove that God has not touched this man and called him to do this as a means of leading the church in a new direction. Nothing short of a burning bush would change anyone's mind, so there is no real point in debating.

All that can be done is for the members of the church to search their heart and faith for the answer as to whether or not they believe this is God's will. That has happened, and they have decided that God wants this man to be a bishop. For those that disagree, they need to find a new denomination that better fits their concept of God's will.

Well said.

No one is going to change their minds one way or another, but I'll tell you this; the Anglican church is headed for a split. As a Baptist, I look at what they've done and shake my head. We clearly don't read the same Bible. As a Christian, it bothers me because I feel strongly this goes against Christian teachings.

You non-Christian guys are free to comment of course, but you must admit I can't allow myself to be swayed by people that routinely mock my God. Your thoughts on the topic don't mean much to me, in reality.

I thought that in God's eye a sin is a sin is a sin... correct me if I'm wrong.

If this guy can be Bishop... why is everyone so upset at pedophile priests?

Or Evangelists who enjoy prostitues even while being married?

OR... anything really?

Lets all just have a big fat nasty orgy and sing praise to God for letting us.

As a member of arguably the most persecuted minority in history Mrblack, I wonder how you can be so incredibly insensitive.

I think giving homos minority status is a bit much.

Are our senses getting so dulled as a society now that we no longer see anything wrong with a man wanting to put his dork up another mans arse?

And PLEASE don't tell me oh I was born that way BULLCHIT don't buy that one either.

It is a lifestyle choice and it is WRONG.

Well they are most certainly a minority. And they have most certainly been persecuted. What else would you require?

I am not gonna defend homosexuals, but then again they never did anything to harm me.

But it seams like someone has gotten abused.
