Church set for new row over gay clergy


The Telegraph portrays upcoming debate on motion to recognize the Anglican Church in North America at General Synod this week as "new row" over homosexuality. Click here for the story. What should be the topic of debate is not just the AC-NA's stance on homosexuality but also its commitment to the principles of the Protestant and reformed Church of England? Does it really accept the historic Anglican formularies and consider them as authoritative today as in the sixteenth century? This is one of a number of questions that General Synod needs to ask.
