Bishop attacks anti-gay movement
By Skip • Jul 8th, 2008 • Category: GSFNewsThe Bishop of Durham has attacked the Anglican traditionalists behind a new movement against what they consider liberal views on homosexuality.
Dr Tom Wright, a traditionalist himself, said Gafcon’s plans to let parishes break from liberal bishops were ridiculous and “deeply offensive”.
“The idea they have a monopoly on Biblical truth won’t do,” he said.
It comes as the Church of England’s ruling body, the General Synod, gathers for a five-day meeting.
“The idea that they have a monopoly on Biblical truth simply won’t do and we must stand up to this, it’s a kind of bullying. ‘We’re the true gospel people, therefore you must listen to us’.”
Good to see a traditionalist see common sense on this issue, especially as more and more scientific evidence shows that sexuality is not a “lifestyle choice” but down to genetics.
Skip is the nerd out of the GSFN partnership. Skip enjoys nothing more than good sci-fi and horror, be it on the big screen, TV or in a book. He also likes the bad stuff too. Skip also has a thing for faces and continuously likes to point out actors from one film to the next, much to the annoyance of Drew.
