Dean of St Paul’s: Anglicans need each other despite deep split over homosexuality – Christian Today

The Anglican Communion Primates' meeting – over 30 Archbishops meeting in private from 10th January in Canterbury – has hanging on it the hopes and fears of millions of Anglicans around the world. And the key question is whether, with their divergent views about human sexuality, they can find a way to be reconciled and to live together in one communion – or not.

  1. Another observation: The Dean’s statement exhibits the contradiction at the heart of liberal theology: exalting ‘love’ over truth, over doctrine. But who Jesus Christ is is a doctrine. And what we are called upon to do and believe and think and say to faithfully follow Jesus Christ involves doctrines.
    Of course doctrine, which is truth, has got to come first!

  2. I know I keep repeating myself but I wonder if only I can see the brontosaurus in the room or whether others are just ignoring it. As I keep saying, the fundamental disagreement – and I really do mean fundamental – is much deeper than the disagreement about homosexuality. It is about some of the most fundamental truths of Christianity, like the holy wrath of God, like the just legal condemnation facing us all because of Adam’s sin, like predestination to life, like the propitiation of Christ on the cross to save all who submit to him in repentance, faith, love, obedience and fear, like eternal punishment for those who do not.
    Please wake up and open your eyes.
