Dear John & Doves,
 
According to this article called From Uganda with love ... Church of England's new No 2 spells out his creed at
http://www.guardian.co.uk/religion/Story/0,2763,1585709,00.html the 1st Anglican Black Archbishop Semantu said: "Is somebody saying a gay and lesbian can't live in Christ? What matters in the end to me is to do what my mother said to me as a little child: John, never point a finger at anybody because when you do three other fingers are pointing back at you. All of us are sinners, all of us have baggage. Why should my baggage as a heterosexual be more acceptable than the baggage of a gay person?"  However, as we know the Lord doesn't differentiate between heterosexual or homosexual fornicators since 1 Corinthians 6:9 says, "¶Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10  Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 11  And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God."  Jude 1:17 says," But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; 18  How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. 19  These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit."

This article also states, "The new archbishop said he would be prepared to consecrate women as bishops if the Church of England eventually permitted him to do so. "No, I don't see any obstacle to my doing it. I will do what the church feels is right. How can you not say, unless you just concentrate on the gender question, that women cannot be bishops? I cannot logically see that is sustainable."  However, 1 Timothy 3:2 says,  "A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;" 1 Timothy 2:11 also says, "Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
12  But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence."
 
God bless you,
