Homosexuals In Anglican Church Fudge

Joking aside though, the Anglican church is facing precisely this problem.

“Clerics get classes in anger management” announces the Daily Telegraph, which reports that dozens of senior church leaders have signed up for a course on “conflict transformation” aimed at “helping them settle disputes which threaten to split their faith”.

In particular, there’s the issue of homosexuality, which has “brought the Anglican church to the brink of schism”.

It all sounds very civilized, but we wonder whether it’s all just a fancy word for fudging (“conflict resolution”, that is, not “homosexuality”).

What’s wrong with settling the matter the old-fashioned way, with no-nonsense bolt from the blue?
