The archbishops at the meeting support Lambeth I.10 \u201d\u201c the resolution on human sexuality from the 1998 Lambeth Conference. The Grand Imam raised changes to traditional teaching on the subject by some Anglican churches, saying that the issue in the west was seen from the viewpoint of human rights rather than a moral and ethical issue. \u201cI personally see this as an insult to [the teaching of] Jesus Christ by one of His own churches,\u201d\u009d he said.<\/p>\n
The issue was also discussed when the archbishops met the leader of the Coptic Orthodox Church, Pope Tawadros II. \u201cWe need to stand firm and keep the Church traditions,\u201d\u009d he told them. \u201cIf this issue is a human rights one, where is God the Creator\u2019s right?\u201d\u009d<\/p>\n
In their discussions, the leaders welcomed the latest achievements of the Anglican-Oriental Orthodox International Commission, and particularly the historic agreed statement on Christology.<\/p>\n
