and so says Muriel
Dr Muriel Porter writes in the age:
So moderate church leaders should speak out on their behalf. They should vehemently reject the Global South’s claim that adherence to the authority of the Bible is centred in one particular interpretation of its (limited) references to homosexuality. Since when has sexual practice been the supreme test of Christian orthodoxy?
It is a pity they have not instead publicly named the conservatives’ power trip as a form of abuse, and their bullying as a failure of Christian compassion and a form of judgementalism, against which Jesus specifically preached. This is the scriptural teaching to which they should require Anglican allegiance.
As the saying goes, evil things happen only when good people do nothing.
