I don't know how it is that the ABY can make such sweeping statements, when - yes - he says so many good things on other subjects.<br /><br />I have also come across another example - this time from South Africa. The Bishop of Saldhana Bay – one of the Cape Town Dioceses linked to York - was forced to live in Zimbabwe during apartheid because he married a woman not in his ‘racial group’ as defined by the church theology of apartheid. Was church theology right and the Mandela government wrong to have changed it?Benny Hazlehursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11106740133903626260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-146780325302102876.post-19523075959346528112012-02-05T21:23:39.940+00:002012-02-05T21:23:39.940+00:00What worries me is that this Archbishop is a higly...What worries me is that this Archbishop is a higly intelligent man.<br />If he hadn't thought of the development of marriage through the ages before,he would have come across the arguments in the course of the debate.<br />So at the very least I would expect him to take up these arguments and counter them, one by one.<br /><br />So one ends up having to question hismotivations or his intellectual integrity or his moral honesty... and I really really struggle with that... I just don't want to have to believe that of someone I would really like to admire, because so much he says is so incredibly admirable ...<br /><br />Unless... have those arguments been taken up and countered somewhere? Have I missed a cross reference?Erika Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01812376497361267014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-146780325302102876.post-60303148288811142782012-02-05T21:12:42.757+00:002012-02-05T21:12:42.757+00:00Thanks for this Benny, an excellent post.Thanks for this Benny, an excellent post.Suemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03128736092253293640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-146780325302102876.post-88182455750856530292012-02-04T09:18:20.939+00:002012-02-04T09:18:20.939+00:00Thanks and God bless you, I hope the Archbishop o...Thanks and God bless you, I hope the Archbishop of York and his gang will come and take some honest history lesson from you.Mr Speakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09738237466030341175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-146780325302102876.post-75972511941368592482012-02-03T12:02:26.086+00:002012-02-03T12:02:26.086+00:00I love that last quote!I love that last quote!Sighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06673523268610697930noreply@blogger.com
