NOT A RESOLUTION ABOUT UGANDA, BUT THIS:
The following resolution was passed by the Standing Committee of theAnglican Communion meeting in London on 15-18 December, and approved forpublic distribution.
Resolved that, in the light of:
1. The recent episcopal nomination in the Diocese of Los Angeles of apartnered lesbian candidate
2. The decisions in a number of US and Canadian dioceses to proceedwith formal ceremonies of same-sex blessings
3. Continuing cross-jurisdictional activity within the Communion
The Standing Committee strongly reaffirm Resolution 14.09 of ACC 14supporting the three moratoria proposed by the Windsor Report and theassociated request for gracious restraint in respect of actions thatendanger the unity of the Anglican Communion by going against thedeclared view of the Instruments of Communion.
Endanger? If anyone has been endangered it is the hundred of Americans in the Anglican Communion who suffered at the hands of tyrant bishops who have now fled the American Church. If anyone, more, has been endangered in the Communion - what about the hundreds and thousands of ANGLICANS who may perish in Uganda and other parts of the world for being LGBT? It is so nice to belong to a "communion" who has their priorities straight. What we need is a paradigm shift within the entire Communion! The American Church is leading the way - this IS our future. Thanks be to God!
