Is this the face of the Devil?


Right wing/ conservative Christians are so concerned with preserving the 'sanctity of marriage' that I had to put in my two cents.

An article has been written on the schism of the Anglican communion, schism that at first seemed speculative, then likely, and is now creeping ever more into reality, over sex!

What I feel is really sad is that the conservative anti-gay movement is being supported largely in part by Africa. It is also being funded by outside sources, like the Institute of Religion and Democracy, which this article points out is responsible for playing a part in the contra war in central america. Read it here.

I had an exclamation point after sex! because I think it is ridiculous that an institution that is supposed to be committed to following Jesus' word, caring for the poor, the ill, the lonely, is getting its knickers in a twist all over the issue of who can be married to whom, and who priests can and cannot sleep with.

Can love be so wrong?
