The parishes plan to place themselves under Archbishop Peter Akinola of Nigeria, who calls the acceptance of gay relationships a "satanic attack" on the church.
The Episcopal Church, the U.S. wing of global Anglicanism, has been under pressure from traditionalists at home and abroad since the 2003 consecration of the first openly gay bishop, V. Gene Robinson of New Hampshire.
Most overseas Anglicans believe gay relationships violate Scripture and contend liberal interpretation of the Bible should not be accepted.
I'm going to play a little devil's advocate here. The bible was written by at least 40 different authors from a variety of cultures over a period of at least 1500 years, yet it has the common theme of God's love and practical concern for world running through it. The Bible has provided values, social relationships and moral meaning because it was written on the basis of our family and social being.
Are we full of contradiction by showing unfair treatment against the Gays?
They have a right to a religion.
Who are we to judge, especially if they are good people?
Do you think gay relationships violate Scripture?
Do they chose to be gay? I don't think so.
What do you think????
