Archbishop of Canterbury to hold 'secret' communion for gay that is not 'secret' at all
From England we learn that the so-called ("Archbishop of Canterbury to hold 'secret' communion for gay
Times Online, UK ") is in fact not a secret at all but just the way the Church of England works. Read on for a good example of how easily the media can be misled:
"The Consultation is not a secret or secretive group, it is a group which has chosen to protect its weakest members by ensuring confidentiality and safety
for members in order that people feel safe to attend. The weakness of the group is that of the weakest members, those who feel least safe in emerging from
their closets.
++Rowan or his staff asked to meet us confidentially, but that is normal for any invitation from the Consultation in order to protect our safety. There
is a Eucharist as an integral part of every Consultation meeting and ++Rowan is simply joining us and participating as our Archbishop in our normal
programme.
We are inviting him, not he us, the Communion isn't secret, the meeting is confidential, and many more members of the Consultation will come to this
meeting than the normal number. Those who won't be there are the misogynistic male gay clergy, who withdrew years ago when lesbian priests were welcomed."
