This first link is to the news story about The Archbishop of Sudan (Pictured) issuing a statement about the theology of sexuality. It reads in part -
"Sudan was the first to take the velvet gloves off at the Conference and throw into the ring a position statement on sexuality. The two issues are inextricably linked for the country. Speaking separately to the Church Times, the Archbishop said: “Our Muslim neighbours view us as completely infidel. We are [considered] not people who love God, because they think what we are doing in the Church is completely evil. We are being insulted by Islam. We want our brothers to see the pain of what we have done."

"Archbishop Chew had not studied the statement, but there was nothing new in it, he suggested: it repeated Windsor and was consistent with the Primates’ statement from Dromantine. “They are not calling for anything new, which would have been unfair. They are saying that if we do not take up what we have committed [ourselves to] seriously, then even in the eyes of the secular world, our credibility is reduced.”"
