Anglicans ‘obsessed’ by gay issue
Archbishop Desmond Tutu has called on Africa’s Anglican church to overcome its “obsession” with the issue of gay priests and same-sex marriages.
He said they should spend time on more pressing issues in the region.
Speaking to the BBC World Service, the South African bishop said Zimbabwe, HIV/Aids and the crisis in Darfur were not getting sufficient attention.
Zimbabwe’s Anglican church also lacked courage to stand up to President Robert Mugabe’s regime, he said.
Do you think anyone will listen?

It is also a bit of refreshing news to say that the present Cardinal of Seville, Cardinal Amigo Vallejo, has gone on public record as supporting gay civil unions.
I bet the Vatican is rather annoyed with him.

Tutu is right on the money. Having lived and worked with Anglicans for an extended period of time, and at a very liberal Anglican community at that, the gay issue is to most a non-issue. They want to get on with the real work, too.

Obsession is the word for anything concerning religion….

I partly agree with dragonqueen. But they are more dangerous than simple obsessions. Religions are clubs run by men to promote their own interests, the subjugation of women, children and the rest of the world!
