Williams, Wright and the good ship Anglican

[sydneyanglicans.net]19 Aug 2009--Eleven years ago this month, in the plenary session of Lambeth 1998 the bishops of the Anglican Communion overwhelmingly resolved that scripture taught ‘faithfulness in marriage between a man and a woman in lifelong union’ and ‘that abstinence is right for those who are not called to marriage.’ The resolution went on to reject ‘homosexual practice as incompatible with Scripture.’

That resolution, now labeled ‘Resolution1.10 Human Sexuality’, is the rock on which the good ship Anglican Communion is now wedged.
