"Williams Pleads For Anglicans
To Hold Together In Tolerance"
"Rowan Williams,
the Archbishop of Canterbury, pleaded for the "catastrophic" Anglican
communion to hold together yesterday in tolerance, if no longer
love, at the start of a key conference of representatives from the church's
38 provinces meeting at Nottingham University."
"But
in trying to keep the two sides together, particularly those conservatives
in the developing world who claim that the church in North America is being
subverted by gays, he argued: "The deepest spiritual problem is not
resolved by separating ourselves from the sinner ... what grieves
me about the debate is that I see few signs of awareness ... and a good
deal of the effort to distinguish ourselves from each other. I too have
to accept that I am part of this failing or catastrophic church."

Corinthians 5:11 "But now I have written unto you not to keep
company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous,
or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such
an one no not to eat."
