The Rev. Charlie Bell, author of the book “Queer Holiness,” went further. “The Lambeth Conference has,” tweeted the psychiatrist, a fellow at Girton College, Cambridge, “ended with “a recognition \u2013 explicit and implicit \u2013 that the acceptance of LGBTQI love and SSM is within the bounds of the communion we share. The Holy Spirit was at work.”<\/p>\n
For Global South bishops, all of this showed that Anglicanism “is not in a healthy, working state.” The question is whether brokenness will inspire repentance.<\/p>\n
The “revisionist Provinces,” said a GSFA communique, “adapt the Word of God to the prevailing culture \u2026 and end up condoning what is morally wrong in God’s eyes. \u2026 Failing to correct false teaching is to fail to act in love. Hence, orthodox Bishops are duty-bound to God not to ‘live and let live’ under the guise of simply walking together.”<\/p>\n
Thus, Archbishop Justin Badi Arama of South Sudan told journalists: “A communion is where you have one belief, one doctrine and here there is an issue where there are two different doctrines. How can you walk together?”<\/p>\n
