	Anglican views of homosexuality - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the Anglican Church of Canada, six parishes in the Diocese of New Westminster bless same sex unions, and Dean Peter Elliott of that diocese is a gay man in a committed relationship.
		In February 2005, the Primates of the Anglican Communion held a regular meeting at Dromantine in Northern Ireland at which the issue of homosexuality was heavily discussed.
		The Episcopal Anglican Church of Brazil, notably Anglo-Evangelical (Low Church) is characterized by its somehow progressive theological views on homosexuality.

	Quaker views of homosexuality - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The views of Quakers toward homosexuality has a dramatic range from complete acceptance and celebration of same-sex marriages, to viewing homosexuality as abhorrent and sinful.
		In the end, the true "Quaker view" on homosexuality is probably best analysed meeting by meeting (or, better, Friend by Friend.) However, there are some general patterns, and for reasons of space and completeness this article deals mainly with the largest organizations on a country-by-country basis.
		Quakers in the United States of America are divided on the issue of homosexuality, with some (mostly Friends affiliated with programmed meetings) not approving of either homosexuality or the legalisation of same sex union.

		The Anglican Communion is a world-wide organisation of Anglican Churches.
		Technically it is not possible to speak of the Anglican Church as a whole; it is better referred to as the Anglican Communion, which consists of national churches in communion with the Church of England.
		The ultimate head of any Anglican church is the Primate, head of the church at the national level; but Anglican primates acknowledge the leadership of the Archbishop of Canterbury as primus inter pares, or "first among equals".

	Anglican Communion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Anglican Communion uses the compass rose as its symbol, signifying its worldwide reach and decentralized nature.
		There is no single "Anglican Church" since each national or regional church has full autonomy; as the name suggests, rather, the Anglican Communion is an association of these churches in full communion with each other and particularly with the Church of England, which may be regarded as the "mother church" of the worldwide communion.
		Some of these churches are known as Anglican, explicitly recognising the link to England; others, such as the American and Scottish Episcopal churches, or the Church of Ireland, prefer a specific name.

	Anglicans must accept moral diversity to protect universality - Chris McGillion - www.smh.com.au
		It is true that all Anglican bishops declared homosexuality "incompatible with scripture" at the last Lambeth Conference in 1998 and agreed not to ordain practising homosexuals or bless same-sex unions.
		The answer is simply that by fully including homosexuals in the life of their churches, Anglicans in North America are responding to the generally greater acceptance of homosexual practices in their cultures.
		Likewise, African and Asian Anglicans are leading the attack on liberal views of homosexuality due in large part to the abhorrence with which it is regarded in their countries.

		Homosexuality is expected to be a hot issue at the 1998 conference, which will take place in England in July and August.

		Conservative Canadian Anglicans, meeting in Toronto June 16-18, were urged to join two new groups, one of them working towards becoming the official replacement for the Anglican Church of Canada in anticipation that it may be "suspended or removed from the Anglican Communion" or may decide to "walk apart" over the thorny issue of sexuality.

		The argument over homosexuality in the Anglican Church has revealed a crisis of identity and governance that is not easily resolved.
		It may well be that the Anglican Communion now has to choose between being an international church ultimately guided by a council of bishops or the loose alliance of national churches which it has been hitherto.
		It may then be the case that authentic Anglicans must at this juncture witness to a more Catholic interpretation of the nature of love and the nature of mediation of the divine.

	Crosswalk.com - Homosexuality is Divinely Ordered, says Anglican Catechism
		A radical change in church teaching on homosexuality, declaring it to be "divinely ordered," was revealed this week in a catechism commissioned by the Archbishop of York.
		"Homosexuality," says the catechism, "may well not be a condition to be regretted but to have divinely ordered and positive qualities." It continues: "Homosexual Christian believers should be encouraged to find in their sexual preferences such elements of moral beauty as may enhance their general understanding of Christ's calling."
		The Anglican Church is deeply divided over its teaching on homosexuality and at the last Lambeth Conference bishops hotly debated the issue.

		Homosexual practices are sinful according to the Bible, but they are not to be treated differently than other forms of sinful behavior, for everyone is in need of forgiveness and personal transformation in Christ.
		Many homosexuals who also proclaim to be Christians believe the Bible is misinterpreted when it comes to its denouncement of homosexuality.
		This, not the placement of a homosexual in a leadership position in the church, is why the confirmation of Gene Robinson as Bishop of New Hampshire is troubling.

		Homosexuals would, I believe, be wise to lower the volume, cherish their private lives, withdraw the more contentious litigation, and stop "pushing the envelope".
		Homosexuals, the ones I have spoken with (all right, it’s a small sample) similarly believe that they are just like all the rest of us, except for this thing about finding members of their own sex erotically attractive.
		Homosexual spokespeople nowadays lean heavily on the argument that “we can’t help it, we’re born that way.” My guess, based on the evidence I have seen, is that in most cases this is true, so far as inclination is concerned.

		She told the meeting that she did not hope to change the mind of traditionalists - who believe homosexuality is inherently sinful - but to plead for the communion to live together with its differences.

	News & Commentary - American Anglican Council Live Website
		NEWPORT BEACH — An Anglican commission's sharp criticism of the Episcopal Church USA's liberal views on homosexuality does not affect three breakaway churches' legal tussle with the diocese they seceded from, the rector of St. James Church on Via Lido said Monday.
		While the other two churches said homosexuality was the major issue for them, St. James consistently maintained that for it the main issue was that the national church hesitated to accept Jesus Christ as the Lord and Savior and failed to acknowledge the supremacy of the Bible.
		Bunyan, however, said he was happy to see that the commission established a theological foundation — based on biblical passages calling homosexuality a sin — for why it believed the actions of the Episcopal Church relating to the ordination of Robinson were wrong.
