…We are surprised that the Archbishops, in a letter about repentance, make no mention of repentance from sexual practice outside of one man, one woman marriage.<\/p>\n
What we are seeing within the Anglican Communion is a persistent push to redefine God’s teaching on marriage.<\/p>\n
This letter was another opportunity for the Archbishops to demonstrate appropriate leadership by reaffirming and promoting God’s clear vision for marriage. Instead the letter suggests that the fundamental issue is an ‘ongoing conversation’ as yet unresolved, implicitly suggesting that God has been unclear.<\/p>\n
The role of the Archbishops is not to facilitate conversation but to teach the truth, refute error and discipline those who depart from God’s pattern in either teaching or lifestyle.

The matter, then, is already decided, and the ‘conversation’ is merely a matter of persuading those defending \u201d\u02dctradition\u2019 to either concede or be isolated \u201d\u201c in the name of ‘unity’…<\/p>\n
