Comments on: Is the Church Listening? http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/2008/07/11/2345 News, analysis and fact-checking of anti-gay rhetoric Thu, 18 Mar 2010 20:32:02 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Ephilei http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/2008/07/11/2345/comment-page-1#comment-13339 Ephilei Fri, 11 Jul 2008 20:29:26 +0000 http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/2008/07/11/2345#comment-13339 As a non-straight Christian considering fellowship with Anglicans, I find this helpful. Was there any such literature from a pro-gay perspective at Lambeth? Or anything pro-gay allowed? So far my impression of the ability of Lambeth to listen has been piss poor. Discussing the genetics and neuroscience of homosexuality are pointless unless compared with what the Bible says causes the immorality that it condemns, the behavior anti-gays assume is identical with modern homosexuality. The Church condemns other feelings that are strongly influenced by genetics like addictions are rightly so. What will change people's minds, as it did mine, was realizing that the same sex behavior in Bible is completely unlike what we're advocating today and therefore not unBiblical.
