I refer to this article which informs us that a signficant number of Anglican bishops are boycotting the Lambeth conference, which is a conference of bishops called by the Archbishop of Canterbury, who is traditionally regarded as the leader of the Anglican communion. But that tradition is about to go out the window, at least for those conservative Anglican leaders who take the Bible seriously on the issue of sexual purity.
The current archbishop of Canterbury is a man who it seems won't take a stand for or against homosexual practices. A diplomat and politician, he wants to placate everyone regardless of their views on this teaching. Thankfully, there are Bible believing Anglicans around still, who are not going to accept such a man's leadership. True Christianity does not find its strength in men, but in a Holy God. And just as in the days of Joshua, one man's sin could cause the people of God to fall before their enemies, so today, remaining united with unrepentant sexual perverts will make the Anglican church lose its saltiness, and to be fit for nothing except to be trampled underfoot by men. It seems though, that many Anglican leaders have taken courage and are saying, "Enough is enough". Praise God for that.
There are many issues which threaten to divide God's church. But on issues like this, I think its best to separate. Liberal churches have been dying everywhere for the last 100 years, victims of their own unbelief. Proponents of homosexual practices within the church like to talk about "love and inclusion" as if the God who destroyed the peoples of the world by means of a universal flood, sparing just one family, is really going to give up his standards so that he can include everyone into His Family and Kingdom who want to follow their own perverted and unnatural lusts. It is a sad mistake.
It is our role as Christians to be kind and respe

Losing faith
I am a young christian in need of help because I feel I am slowly losing faith as I gow older.......
The main reason for this is because a suffering of innocents. All around I see young innocent children dying and who are in a great deal of pain... (please do not take any offence from this because I am a Christian also..) I think to myself, how can an all beneolent and all powerful God allow this to happen? They have not sinned in any obvious way and they are as much a living loving human being as any of us, so how can this happen?
Even if it is said that freewill prevents God from interfering that would make him not omnipotent......
All thoughts and ideas/help would be very greatly appreciated..
Many thanks
Homosexuality and the Anglican Church
This issue has been causing division within the church for many years now.
It seems that under the leadership of Rev Rowan Williams, things are about to come to a head.
It is no surprise but very unfortunate for the many Anglican ministers who know this to be a wrong step and are going to be forced to disassociate themselves from it.
The extent of the increasingly liberal attitudes of the visible church can be seen from the recent charge of "Hate crime" brought against a minister in Canada.
Christians are labled as intolerant and narrow minded because we are holding on to the truth of the Gospel in a world who's mantra is "anything goes"
The Bible does instruct us to "come out" of anything unclean and Im sure that there are many true fellowships who will welcome those who feel that they simply cannot continue to support a church organisation that is so blatently going astray.
God bless,
Pete
