In a lecture about the crisis facing world Anglicanism, Canon [Gregory] Cameron said that senior clerics in the Western church were in danger of adopting a NATO-style attitude of “intellectual superiority”.
He criticised the US church, which donates generously to the African and Asian evangelical provinces of the Global South, for placing “implicit obligations” on the recipients of their largesse.
Urging understanding of the conservative evangelicalism which led to a rival Fellowship of Confessing Anglicans being set up in Jerusalem last week, Canon Cameron said: “The average Anglican is a black woman under the age of 30, who earns two dollars a day, has a family of at least three children, has lost two close relatives to AIDs, and who will walk four miles to Church for a three hour service on a Sunday.”
The presenting issue is not so much sexuality, but pride…
….And that average Anglican deserves a lot more integrity (as opposed to Integrity) from her bishops.
