FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
April 9, 2008

Integrity thanks Archbishop Rowan Williams for his statement today—which condemned recent violence and the threats of violence against LGBT Anglicans. The Rev. Susan Russell, President of Integrity, said, “In too many provinces of the Anglican Communion, the LGBT faithful life in fear of violence and even death because of who they are and whom they love. More often than not, Anglican bishops have been silent about—and sometimes complicit in—bullying and brutality directed at the LGBT children of God.”

Russell concluded, “Members of Integrity USA, along with other LGBT Anglicans from other provinces, will be in Canterbury this summer to offer our testimonies to the bishops gathered for the Lambeth Conference. We look forward to sharing our lives and our stories with all of them who will listen.”
