So Gay Bishops eh? Who'd have em?
In the times today, there is an article written by a gay, non-Christian man about what the church should be doing about homosexual bishops. It's perhaps one of the best things I've read on homosexuality and everything. You can read it all on the Times website (No, God would not have approved of gay bishops), if you can't be bothered though, the first paragraph summarises it quite neatly.
"Anglican evangelicals are right. Knowingly to appoint gay bishops robs Christianity of meaning. It is time that convinced Christians stopped trying to reconcile their spiritual beliefs with the modern age and understood that if one thing comes clearly through every account we have of Jesus?s teaching, it is that His followers are not urged to accommodate themselves to their age, but to the mind of God. Christianity is not supposed to be comfortable or feel 'natural'. The mind of God, contemplating the behaviour of man, is not expected to be suffused with a spirit of 'whatever'."
Indeedy.

Best vicar in what sense? He may be the nicest most friendliest vicar in the world, but that doesn't make him the best. Otherwise Homer Simpson would be the best nuclear technician ever. Possibly
he was best at vicar-ing. duh!
in fact he's a Canon. and he says Romsey as Rumsey.
vicar-ing involves teaching the bible. He seems to be ignoring it if he thinks he can carry on as a practising homosexual... but never mind.
By a complete co-incidence, I actually read the article in the actual, real, paper. Even though we get the independent. Woo.

Romsey's gay vicar is the best vicar in the world. I say we outlaw straight vicars. Gay ones are better.
