With the Lambeth Commission’s report due out soon, the chatter about homosexuality in the Anglican Church has started again. As I was reading this article, I was struck by this quote:

The Reverend Martin Reynolds, spokesman for the Lesbian and Gay Christian Movement, said: “We are not in crisis. It is those people who find homosexuality unacceptable who are in crisis.

Really? You can’t be serious. I’m willing to entertain this conversation about homosexuality and the Church. I think it’s obviously an important issue that deserves thoughtful prayer and attention. That’s why I can’t imagine how some can make claims like this. Seriously, how do you disregard 2000 years of tradition and church teaching? What do you do with Genesis, Romans, and the teachings of faithful Christian thinkers for hundreds and hundreds of years? Do we just dismiss them because of your own personal sexual experience?
