A voice of reason

Recently Episcopal congregations have split from the Episcopal Church and have chosen to align with an Anglican branch (formed by a Nigerian Anglican archbishop) over disagreements with the Episcopal Church's liberal views on homosexuality (including the ordination of an openly gay bishop, Gene Robinson). Of course, the Episcopal Church has sued to get their churches back.

Meanwhile Nigeria is passing draconian anti-gay laws.

On the bright side we have Anglican Archbishop Desmond Tutu saying:

"I am deeply, deeply distressed that in the face of the most horrendous problems -- we've got poverty, we've got conflict and war, we've got HIV/AIDS -- and what do we concentrate on? We concentrate on what you are doing in bed."
