-- Posted by Moridin at 12:04 am on July 9, 2008 Churches' Secret Talks to Stop Gay Surge The Church of England has refused to deny that its most senior bishops held secret discussions with their Vatican counterparts this weekend in an historic union to topple the controversial Anglican push to admit gay unions and the ordination of women bishops. In an unprecedented turn of events, a handful of Pope Benedict XVI's most trusted advisers are believed to have met senior Anglican Bishops in York over the weekend to build closer inter-church ties - and to stymie the liberalisation of significant traditions. The secret talks, held just days before Pope Benedict leaves Rome for Australia for World Youth Day, highlights the dramatic choices faced by both churches in an increasingly secular and liberal western environment. Yes, the church is going down in flames. Divide an destroy. -- Posted by blufindr at 12:06 am on July 9, 2008 Quote: from Moridin at 5:04 pm on July 9, 2008 Yes, the church is going down in flames.

Divide an destroy. How exactly is it going down in flames? And even if it is, I don't think society really has the right to point the finger, look at its' progress. -- Posted by Wilder at 9:41 am on July 9, 2008 Yes, the church is going down in flames. Divide an destroy. I find this incredibly funny given the fact that you're talking about the Anglican Church. Were you trying to be ironic? -- Posted by Soren Kierkegaard at 9:58 am on July 9, 2008 Quote: from Wilder at 9:41 am on July 9, 2008 Yes, the church is going down in flames. Divide an destroy. I find this incredibly funny given the fact that you're talking about the Anglican Church. Were you trying to be ironic? Agreed, because as much as anyone else is concerned about this situation, the Anglican Church isn't even much of a Church with it's loose ties to scripture much less authoritative stance toward interpretation, or lack thereof.  Pretty soon we'll hear rumors that you even have a heart, Moridin. -- Posted by Natsy at 10:01 am on July 9, 2008 don't you mean divide and conquer? -- Posted by draakprinses at 10:10 am on July 9, 2008 Quote: from Ant Murderer at 12:34 am on July 9, 2008 If God is with the church, it will stand. Thing is, for centuries, I don't think the church has been with God.
