[Anglican Mainstream] 15 Sep 2007--An interview with the Archbishop of Canterbury today in the Daily Telegraph, read here concludes as follows:

We have spent so long discussing the morality of politics that we have barely touched on the politics of the Church. Why is it so obsessed by gay priests?

“I don’t think it’s just an obsession with sex,” he sighs. “It’s about the authority of the Bible.
“Generally we’re seeing a reworking of that - it’s an area of real anxiety and for some people this is a step too far.”

He does not know if he can stop the church breaking apart. “I hope it won’t,” he says. I’m working very hard to stop that happening.”
