[Anglican Mainstream] October 20, 2005--Bishop John Sentamu was asked about the issue of homosexuality, whether the church was too tolerant on this and whether the issue would split the church. He replied: “We are Christians by our common baptism in Christ and life in the Spirit. In the past the Puritans wanted to get fornicators out of the church but actually they were easy to tolerate inside it those people who were affluent and bigots. I just want to say that this is not for me a dividing issue. Because I want to treat every human personality as loved of God.”
