Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams: gay relationships ‘comparable to marriage’

Date August 6, 2008

From the Times Online:

Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, believes that gay sexual relationships can “reflect the love of God” in a way that is comparable to marriage, The Times has learnt.

In his 1989 essay The Body’s Grace, Dr Williams argued that the Church’s acceptance of contraception meant that it acknowledged the validity of nonprocreative sex. This could be taken as a green light for gay sex.

[This is an absurd conclusion Dr Williams has drawn. The so called Evangelical Church is in a world of hurt when one of its major leaders takes this kind of position on homosexuality. -- Shane Trammel]
