There's an old journalistic saying (or if there isn't, there should be) that if you have a scoop then it's worth repeating. So amidst all the hoo-ha surrounding old letters of Dr Rowan Williams, in which he discussed his theological view of human sexuality, I thought it might be relevant to repeat what he told me on Sunday, at the conclusion of the Lambeth Conference. I hope that helps in two regards: 1) Dr Rowan Williams clearly distinguishes between his personal views and his public responsibilities, as anyone sound in public life should, and ...

I began the second of these plenary addresses with a reminder of the question, "What is Lambeth 08 going to say?" And I suggested that we also needed to ask "Where are we going to speak from?" I hope that in recent days there has been some growing clarity about both of these questions and how we answer them : but today there is no avoiding the question of the central message. ...

Rowan Williams believes that gay sexual relationships can âreflect the love of Godâ in a way that is comparable to marriage, The Times has learnt. Gay partnerships pose the same ethical questions as those between men and women, and the key issue for Christians is that they are faithful and lifelong, he believes. Dr Williams is known to be personally liberal on the issue but the strength of his views, revealed in private correspondence shown to The Times, will astonish his critics. The news threatens to reopenbitter divisions over ordaining gay priests, which pushed the Anglican Communion towards a split.... ...

Rowan Williams: pragmatism and belief Editorial From The Times August 7, 2008 A letter from Rowan Williams may reopen argument within the Church of England. But he should not be afraid to voice in public his liberal views It would be naive to suppose, because the Lambeth Conference did not end in schism, that the rifts have been healed or the differences over the most contentious issues narrowed. For two weeks, the 670 bishops were able, through prayer, discussion, personal encounter and a skilful focus on the spiritual rather than the political, to reach out enough to touch each other's point of view, if not to embrace their differences. Now, however, they have returned to their sees around the world. Positions look clearer from afar. Arguments have been reignited. And there is every danger that the harmony temporarily enjoyed in Canterbury will prove too brittle to survive. ... Source: www.lifesite.net --- 35 days ago

LONDON: Bishops back Rowan Williams in gay sex row - even though some don't agree with him Ruth Gledhill, Religion Correspondent The Times http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/faith/article4489022.ece August 9, 2008 Nineteen bishops in the Church of England came to the defence of the Archbishop of Canterbury last night and his views on gay sex. The Bishop of Durham, Dr Tom Wright, who is the Church's fourth most senior cleric, headed the list of bishops who signed a letter to The Times protesting at the "gross misrepresentation" of Dr Rowan Williams. The bishops admit that many among them do not agree with Dr Williams's contention that a same-sex relationship "might . . . reflect the love of God in a way comparable to marriage". But they defend his right to differentiate between his role as theologian and church leader and to uphold "what has been received in faith from scripture and tradition". ...

In a bit of curious timing coming shortly after the close of the Anglican church's Lambeth conference, correspondence from the church's leading archbishop Rowan Williams to an evangelical Christian has surfaced. In it, Williams says that same-sex relationships may be comparable to those of married couples in the eyes of God : "In a series of letters from 2000 and 2001, when he was still archbishop of Wales, Williams wrote that scriptural prohibitions against homosexuality, such as those in Leviticus, were addressed 'to heterosexuals looking for sexual variety in their experience'. In the correspondence, an exchange with an evangelical Christian, Williams argued that passages criticising homosexual activity were not aimed at people who were gay by nature. 'An active sexual relationship between two people of the same sex might therefore reflect the love of God in a way comparable to marriage, if and only if it had about it the same character of absolute covenanted faithfulness.' He also expressed his optimism that the church might change its stance on homosexuality: 'The church has shifted its stance on several matters, notably the rightness of lending money at interest and the moral admissibility of contraception, so I am bound to ask if this is another such issue.' Publication of the letters comes days after Williams emerged unscathed from an important summit of the world's Anglican bishops." The Times called it a "last ditch atte ...
