Rowan Williams: gay relationships 'comparable to marriage’

Rowan Williams believes that gay sexual relationships can “reflect the love of God” in a way that is comparable to marriage, The Times has learnt.
Gay partnerships pose the same ethical questions as those between men and women, and the key issue for Christians is that they are faithful and lifelong, he believes.
Dr Williams is known to be personally liberal on the issue but the strength of his views, revealed in private correspondence shown to The Times, will astonish his critics.
The news threatens to reopenbitter divisions over ordaining gay priests, which pushed the Anglican Communion towards a split.

You notice he doesn’t mention moral issues along with those ethical issues??? Very telling! :eek:
 
And the crumbling of the Anglican Communion continues. This is what you get for building on sand instead of solid ground
 
Abp Williams made a great effort to guide the just completed Lambeth Conference to a point on homosexuality which was orthodox and unifying. It was probably too conservative for the American church, but I guess we will see.

What a shame that these 8 year old private letters were made public by Deborah Pitt. I wonder about her objective - is she trying to break up the Anglican Communion?
