Lipscomb prayed that the Episcopal Church could walk together "bearing witness to the transforming grace of God in Jesus Christ [but] if we cannot walk together, I pray that we will be gracious to one another for the sake of the Gospel. Whatever our individual decisions must be, let us bear witness to the transforming power of God that will one day renew and restore all people to unity with God and with one another in Christ Jesus our Lord. Is this not the mission that we share?"

ECUSA: Integrity Organization Must Face Scientific Facts About Sexuality
Not only are their tens of thousands of former homosexuals and lesbians who have testified that change is possible, (many of whom are now married with children,) a new study argues that true bisexuality may not even exist.
A report in the New York Times, a bastion of liberal proclamation, headlined a story: "Straight, Gay or Lying? Bisexuality Revisited".
The story by Benedict Carey casts doubt on whether true bisexuality exists, at least in men.

Williams & Griswold Fall Short In Condemning London Bombings
One should be grateful that Dr. Williams did not conclude his peroration with his signature statement, "Incidents like this cause me to question the existence of God."

Opposing Views On Sexuality In North-South Debate
The second view, maintained by those in the liberal North is that the Bible has been used to support oppressive social conditions and patterns of behavior and to justify the unjustifiable like slavery, and sexism and therefore is no longer a reliable guide and should be abandoned for its "imperialism". That being the case the Bible should also not be seen as a reliable guide for its views on sodomy.

PHILADELPHIA: New Hope for Orthodox Priests in Court Ruling Against Bennison
The Court, however, rejected Bennison's argument and said that the case should proceed so that a full factual record is developed.

NOTTINGHAM: Global South Leaders Rip North Americans Over Homosexuality
"This continues to be our position of radical holiness. In this context I am personally disappointed at the presentations of ECUSA and Canada that we must embrace unholy sexual practices when a significant part of the ECUSA stands firmly with the rest of the Communion.
