[Stand Firm] 21 Feb 2008--In 1998, the Lambeth conference made it clear that nearly all of the leaders of our denomination maintained the biblical view of sexual ethics; that is, that sexual relationships are reserved for marriage between a man and a woman. In 2003, the Anglican Church in the USA defiantly acted against the Lambeth decision by the consecration of an openly homosexual man, Gene Robinson. Some of the Ministers in Canada and the USA began blessing ‘same-sex unions’.

While unbiblical sexual ethics is the presenting problem, it is really a symptom of a cancer eating away at true Christianity. Archbishop Peter Akinola is the Primate of Nigeria, the largest Anglican Church in the world. This is what he has to say about this: “The real issue is that there are members of our Anglican family who are not paying attention to scripture, but giving prominence to modern culture. They are bringing new principles to interpret scripture. The Word of God has precedence over any culture”.
