Ruth Gledhill - Times Online - WBLG: Protest at prelates shun attack on lesbian woman bishop
*We* (and I say "we" because if the ABoC created a pastorate for us Romans who, while not giving up on Rome in the eschaton, are looking for a place where we can pray, say our Aves, and not be expected to vote Tory, we would jump) have rejoiced in the new Stockholm bishop.
Could you find a better Christian?
So here is the question, Rowan (who I am sure reads Ruth's blog), how is this open loving Swedish Church trying to bear witness in a basically materialistic society not like us? Why does the CoE leadership think it has to dance to the tune of semi-literate evangelical churches in Africa (especially in Uganda) which are currently calling for the death penalty for being gay?
Let these nogoodnick-churches go. They can enjoy communion with a bunch of rich right-wing US Episcopalians who would not share a toilet with them.
But do not let them destroy an Church IN England based on true love of God, true Biblical Theology, a Much better ecclesiology than Romanism, and the true intuitions of of our not so bad civilisations best parts.

As far as I'm concerned, they shouldn't be allowed to destroy the American Episcopal Church, either. They're basically the same bunch of people. Fortunately, my local Episcopal church, which I no longer attend, but I have relatively fond memories of, is more likely to be "inclusive" than not.
