What comes first - the "communion" or the Word?
Of failed moratoriums...
Episcopalians reject ban on gay bishops
"I desperately want to preserve this communion," Robinson said. "But I can't do so at the expense of my own integrity and that of my gay and lesbian brothers and sisters in Christ."
Awhile back the Anglican head announced a 'moratorium' which he hoped would keep everyone happy, by suspending the ordination of gay clergy while not grappling with the substance!
Quite clearly that has not worked!
The Church is going to have to deal with the issue one way or the other!
I for one, while not Anglican, am happy with the lead the African church has taken on this issue!
How much can one be expected to compromise for unity's sake? The very essence?

"I desperately want to preserve this communion," Robinson said. "But I can't do so at the expense of my own integrity and that of my gay and lesbian brothers and sisters in Christ."Canon Martyn Minns, a conservative leader and rector of Truro Church in Fairfax, Virginia, said the deputies' vote showed the impossibility of reconciling Anglicans with different views about the Bible and homosexuality.

The african church needs to stand it's ground.This is an issue where compromise should be rejected as homosexuality goes against what the church is and even the bible is against it.
