Bishop Senyonjo in San Francisco
Religion Dispatches describes the visit retired Ugandan Bishop Christopher Senyonjo made to San Francisco and the story of his conversion into a support of equal rights for gay and lesbian persons. Bishop Christopher is halfway through his six week speaking tour.
When I read these words of the good Bishop: “I cannot see God where there is no love,” he said, “I would rather go with the truth.”
and compare and contrast them with the falderal emitted by the ABC today I am amazed at the stark contrast between a true man of God who lives and breathes his conviction of the gospel, much like Desmond Tutu and a man who seems determined to hold onto a crumbling foundation built on sand.
God bless Bishop Senyonjo. And God bless Rowan Cantuar as well. Perhaps someday he will be able to see God as well as Bishop Senyonjo can.

Bishop Christopher Ssenyonjo is a Anglican Communion Hero and ought be considered for the Nobel Peace Prize for single handedly honoring and attempting to observe the Lambeth 1.10 ¨Listening Process¨ in Central Africa...a person who truly cares about his neighbor and fellow human being

Mr. Mock, it is precisely the reading of Rowan’s past writings and musings that causes such consternation. The absence of the good Archbishop’s reasoning in this letter is stark and disturbing in many levels.
He chooses to publicly humiliate a duly-elected bishop of TEC by name, in effect making her a scapegoat, while completely ignoring the crimes of those who so vociferously oppose her. If he called out a few renegade primates by name perhaps this could be forgiven but he does not.
I’m sure that the ABC treads carefully on the knife edge he must walk and I give him that but the hypocrisy revealed by his failure to publicly engage equally those who persecute and destroy LGBT baptized Christians in opposition to his personal theories cannot be overlooked.

May I recommend that the ABC re-read "The Body's Grace."

Joe Mock, have you been living under a rock? Seriously? The ABC moved away from his enlightened theology of the past a few years ago. We started realizing it about the same time as his "good" friend Jeffrey John.
