Michael Buerk, who was the BBC correspondent in South Africa before the fall of apartheid, spoke of his experiences of Archbishop Tutu:
“His moral authority — inside and outside the Church — is unique. When he says his Church has lost its way, is obsessed with people’s private lives rather than the great public issues of war and disease and oppression; that it is obeying fallible scripture rather than the divine priorities of Christ — the world listens.”
What kind of nonsense is he speaking of here? Fallible scripture? What the hay?
“Tutu said to Lord Carey that he was ashamed of the Church as long ago as the 1998 Lambeth Conference, believing that the Church had become homophobic . He has instead pleaded the case for an inclusive church which sees homosexuality as an orientation rather than a lifestyle choice. He also said in his interview with Buerk that if God was homophobic he would not worship him.”
I never knew about this garbage.
He described Tutu as regarding the Bible as “a useful guide rather than a repository of unqualified truth”. Whilst strong conservatives like Stephen Green view the Bible as “divinely inspired to such an extent that he would like to see its Scriptures incorporated into British law”.
The best statement out of this article is this:
Buerk also spoke of Catholic MP Ann Widdecombe’s view that “Tutu is blurring all the edges . . . between the sinner and the sin, between orientation and action — above all, between right and wrong”.
The morality of the Anglican/Episcopal churches are awful.
