I am based just outside of Basildon, so if we could ever meet up, I would love to buy you a pint and say 'Hi' in person! ..oH.. liberal.... well I don't put any label on myself except for contemplative and that is more Catholic, I am a mixed bag of doctrine after many years of experience within the Church and realising that the Church has more problems than the sinful world! I came to faith at Billy Graham 1989 at West Ham, a real black and white conversion, it was the church that tarnished my understandings. Your role is too help others be accepted into a group that can truely love as Christ loved and that is not easy, I do not envy your job!

Please be assured that it is not my intention to be unloving to anyone - hence the name of this blog. I just wanted to unpick the perceived connections in some minds between women and gays in leadership.<BR/><BR/>It seems to me that the Lambeth conference has indeed achieved that (by a miracle!)<BR/><BR/>What do you think of the caricatures on pluralist's blog?Tim Goodbodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02725035540031649887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7232129885053394464.post-58362721743547818932008-08-05T19:38:00.000+01:002008-08-05T19:38:00.000+01:00I pray that you can show love to the homosexual pe...I pray that you can show love to the homosexual people who want to live a life of faith and understand their place in God's creation. It is not as black and white as many Christians make out. It is complex and diverse just as any group in society. Scripture understanding from a western view is not completely giving us the full story. To get beyond and back to the hebrew of the the New Testament can often open our eyes to many teachings we hold as rock solid, but for me it is all about the person and how I can love them as the Messiah wants me to love them. Women Bishops and Homosexual clergy can enrich our communion and I welcome both. Blessings.Steve Hearnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01526178272494246267noreply@blogger.com
