The Anglican Communion and homosexuality

Crafting a schism in the Anglican
Communion & Episcopal Church, USA

Sponsored link.

Many mainline religions do not handle change easily. Their memberships are divided between those who take a static and a dynamic view of doctrine, morality, and beliefs.

The Episcopal Church and worldwide Anglican Communion successfully survived many crises in past years, including:

	The abolition of slavery,
	Permitting the use of contraceptives,
	Permitting the ordination of women as priests,
	Allowing female priests to be consecrated as bishops.

However, it appears that they were unable to accomodate the latest stressor: the acceptance of homosexuals -- particularly those in loving, committed relationships -- to full equality in the church.
