It is hard to see how he could ignore this latest outrage. James McGreevey, a former Governor of NJ, married and divorced two women, had children by both, declared himself to be a practicing homosexual, got into a sad homosexual affair with one man, was forced to resign from office and finally settled down with another man. He now wants to become an Episcopal priest.

His supporters view Minns as a faithful, hold-the-line orthodox priest who will not waver on sexuality issues. He is a charismatic figure, more in sync with African Anglican Christians that hold 'the faith once delivered to the saints' than with post-modern liberal Episcopalians for whom he has little use and who have abandoned historic Christianity.

Mrs. Katharine Jefferts Schori, the Episcopal Church's Presiding Bishop, is complaining mightily about the arrival next week of the most powerful African Anglican on the planet, The Rt. Rev. Peter Akinola, to lay hands on a number of Anglicans in Virginia, saying "it puts a strain on the fragile relations on the Anglican Communion." This is while the TEC has done more than any other Anglican jurisdiction to aggravate and violate the wishes of the greater Anglican Communion.

Firstly, he says Paul's letter to the Romans 1-2 was to critique the self-righteous who judge others, a point that challenges the position of persons today who judge those engaging in homosexual relations.

"It is precisely the same perversity that affects those who have received the revelation of God and persist in self-seeking and self-deceit," he wrote.
