Most Christians believe gay sex is a sin and that practising gays should not be ordained. A survey by ComRes of 517 Protestant Christians in Britain found that only 3 per cent of nonCatholic Christians believe homosexuality is not a sin, while 81 per cent say it is and 15 per cent say “it is more complicated than this”. Taking into account all Protestant denominations, 81 per cent believe that gay sex is sinful.
The survey also found that the Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, lacks majority support. Only one in three Anglicans said Dr Williams represented their views.
“Quod ubique, quod semper, quod ab omnibus.” That which has been believed everywhere, always, and by all.

I wonder what a truly scientific and in-depth poll of those members of ECUSA who attend church regularly would reveal?
A poll that would successfully separate the views of those who are more spiritually and Scripturally motivated from those who are more secularly motivated.
I suspect that it reveal that ECUSA is composed of at least two strongly different groups whose views are largely immiscible.
Plus a third group that could be best labeled as “let’s get along” and which is vague regarding its religiosity.
