"Lucky I had Leviticus to protect me!"

An interview with Dr Peter Jensen, Anglican Archbishop of Sydney.

Dr. Jensen was recently quoted viz the current brouhaha within the Anglican Communion (emphasis mine).

...Archbishop Jensen is one of the leaders of 1000 conservative churchmen from 17 Anglican provinces who will gather at the Jerusalem Global Anglican Futures Conference this month. Mainly from Africa, the Middle East and Asia, they are united on one principal issue: hostility to homosexuality.

But Archbishop Jensen argues: "This dispute is not really about homosexuality. It's really about authority and who runs the church. And fairly clearly, to most of the rest of us, God runs the church through the Bible"...

Except for the bits about the Sabbath and nearsightedness, apparently.
