 | Defining homosexuality and sexual orientation:
It is a source of great embarrassment to us that we interchanged the definition
of homosexual orientation and heterosexual orientation in one of our essays. A visitor to our
website caught the error and Emailed us. We really appreciate the effort. |
| In our essays on the United Church of Canada and
homosexuality and on "Conflicts concerning
homosexuality with Christianity, we misspelled the name of the
Community of Concern -- a conservative reform group within the United
Church. |
| We incorrectly identified the Evangelical
Friends International association of yearly meetings as the conservative
wing of the Quaker movement in the U.S. In fact, there is no association
of conservative yearly meetings. There are, however, three independent
conservative yearly meetings in Iowa, North Carolina and Ohio. |
| We quoted an information source that we thought was accurate. It said that
only Orthodox Jews could be married in Israel. In reality, there are a number
of authorities in the countries controlling marriage: for Orthodox Jews,
Christians, Muslims and Druze. However, couples of different religions, and
secular couples who want a civil -- non-religious-- marriage, and couples of
other religions are out of luck. They generally go to a place like Cyprus, get
married there, and then return to Israel to register their marriage. See one
of our essays on religious intolerance in Israel |
| We briefly mentioned that the country of Sri
Lanka recognizes Tibetan Buddhism as occupying the foremost place" among its
religions. This is the wrong Buddhist tradition. Theravada Buddhism is the
dominant tradition in the country. |
| We attributed the definition of "Consubstantiation" in our glossary to Martin Luther. Although this is commonly believed to be true and is found in many dictionaries, it is false. |
