Contrary to common perceptions,...I agree Stepehen.<br /><br />Contrary to common perceptions, the church has hardly ever moved forward by consensus. There have always been those who have refused to move forward, and have tried to project the perception of power until the rest of the church has realised that it is merely an illusion.<br /><br />I think that this is slowly happening with sexuality, but far too slowly for many.Benny Hazlehursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11106740133903626260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-146780325302102876.post-19803011606910012422012-02-19T00:50:41.736+00:002012-02-19T00:50:41.736+00:00Glad you had such a positive response to your stal...Glad you had such a positive response to your stall and personal approach. This is what is SOOOO frustrating about so-called 'debate' on sexuality issues in the Church; on a one-to-one basis the majority of laity and clergy (and probably even bishops) hold much more liberal private views than they are prepared to articulate in public forums...<br /><br />When church leaders DO speak honestly the sky does not fall in, despite the sometimes negative reactions of vocal conservative minorities. The trap is attempting to placate opponents to reform by doing nothing at all until 'full agreement' is reached. <br /><br />Kind regards and keep up the good work.
