Bishops back Rowan Williams in gay sex row - even though some don’t agree with him


The London Times reports on the conservative support of Rowan. He's been under attack, accused of being a hypocrite. Welcome to the club Rowan !


"The Bishop of Durham, Dr Tom Wright (Pictured here with Rowan), who is the Church’s fourth most senior cleric, headed the list of bishops who signed a letter to The Times protesting at the “gross misrepresentation” of Dr Rowan Williams. The bishops admit that many among them do not agree with Dr Williams’s contention that a same-sex relationship “might . . . reflect the love of God in a way comparable to marriage”. But they defend his right to differentiate between his role as theologian and church leader and to uphold “what has been received in faith from scripture and tradition”."
