But where worship is may be at the heart of the church England, at the top or on wholy raw is raging.

 

This week the leaders of global Anglican church gathering in Canterbury. Many are threatening to work out if no agreement can be reached over the church's stance on gay equality.

 

I think the Bible is clear on what marriage is. I think the Bible is clear on the nature of our sexual. How go to make it acceptable. I think we should be we should stick to what the Bible teaches.

 

But for J, the same sets of values mean something completely different.He was abort from conducting church services of in an accident to same sex marriage.

 

My message would be, firstly to recognize the pain, the hurts and the bruising that they have caused to the LBGTI community and their families and their friends.

 

There is no doubt there is a real indeed divide over the gay marriage in the church. Even within England where it's recognized by law, let alone in Africa and Asia.These churches may share the same philology,but the cultural and legal contacts couldn't be more different.But this isn't really about what's in the Bible.It's about power,it's about the future of this huge global institution, and it really goes to show. 

 

A conservative movement within the church, known as Gafcon, is standing firmly opposition to gay marriage, opposition which could threaten the talks before they even began. 

I've been reading what they've been writing and it doesn't appear that they are very open to compromise, they are arriving with a single issue on which they expect to have almost immediate satisfaction.Churches in particular the Anglican communion doesn't quite work like that. There are no quick fixes in the life of a church like this, nor about an issue like human sexuality.This is going to take time.

 

For the arch-bishop in the Canterbury, the first challenge this week would simply be to keep everyone at the table. His best outcome may be that they can agree to disagree.
