Fed: Archbishop backs gay talks
An Anglican leader in Australia says moves to allow gay clergy and same-sex marriagesare similar to the major church rethinks on slavery and the flat-earth theory.
Anglican Archbishop of Brisbane PHILLIP ASPINALL says church members need to reflecton a move in Canada to authorise a service to bless same-sex couples, and the electionof an openly gay bishop in the United States.
Dr ASPINALL that over time, the Holy Spirit has led the church more deeply into thetruth -- as JESUS promised would happen.
He says the church needs to recognise that it now knows more than the biblical authorsknew in their age about homosexuality.
Dr ASPINALL, whose view puts him at odds with Sydney Anglican Archbishop Dr PETER JENSEN,was writing in the latest edition of church newspaper Focus.
