Anglican church halts gay ordinations
THE US Episcopal Church today agreed to halt the ordination of gay clergy and the blessing of same-sex unions until a broader global consensus is reached.
In a move to avoid a split in the global Anglican communion, Episcopal bishops agreed to "exercise restraint by not consenting to the consecration of any candidate to the episcopate whose manner of life presents a challenge to the wider church and will lead to further strains on communion."
The bishops also pledged not to approve an official prayer for blessing same-gender couples, and insisted a majority of bishops did not allow priests to bless the couples in their parishes.
What can I say - the stupidiy of the religious shouldn't surprise me any more, but they continue to top themselves.
The Anglican church in the UK seems to be willing to give control over to a Nigerian bishop rather than "offend" the bigot.
Don't forget that this isn't just about gays, although that is the flash point. Those African bishops are still hopping mad that liberal Americans allowed females to be ordained, and refuse to sit with the female head of the Episcopalians.
But we wouldn't want to offend them.
I could carve a better Archbishop of Canterbury out of a banana.
