The Anglican church has become rather proprietorial about anti-finance protesters camped in the City of London outside St Paul's Cathedral, after a muddled initial response that saw two senior clergymen resign. Yes, the protesters' demands are vague, but that just shows that the Church of England is used as a place to air society's "unspoken anxieties", suggested Archbishop Williams last month.

In a paper presented to the 2011 'Inclusive Church' conference, he wrote as follows:

... there are other sexualities than straight and gay. Intersex, bisexual and transgender people, are generally excluded from the rigid and inadequate frameworks within which the Church discusses sexuality ...

And he added,

"Because The Salvation Army is a church we do have theological positions on a variety of topics. These positions are intended for our church members or those who are interested in our church. Just as you wouldn't expect everyone you meet to share all your ideas or beliefs, we would never expect everyone we help, our donors, or even our non-church-member employees to necessarily agree with these theological positions."

Homosexualist groups "have come to adopt a view of homosexuality we might call the 'gay identity' paradigm," Sprigg observes. He explains that the foundations of the "gay identity" paradigm are beliefs that sexual orientation is an innate personal characteristic, like race, and that there is no harm in being homosexual.
