(From the full BBC News article at http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/7100295.stm)
"South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu has criticised the Anglican Church and its leadership for its attitudes towards homosexuality."
"Archbishop Tutu referred to the debate about whether Gene Robinson, who is openly gay, could serve as the bishop of New Hampshire.
He said the Anglican Church had seemed 'extraordinarily homophobic' in its handling of the issue, and that he had felt 'saddened' and 'ashamed' of his church at the time.
Asked if he still felt ashamed, he said: "If we are going to not welcome or invite people because of sexual orientation, yes.
'If God, as they say, is homophobic, I wouldn't worship that God.'"
The more this man says, the more my respect deepens. Finally someone being sensible, practical, and aware on this issue. Sorry to be blunt, but most other opinion leaders in the Anglican Church need to get a grip.
