Anglican Church Obsessed with Gays--Tutu

Thanks to my daughter AE for sending me a link to the BBC article that quotes Archbishop Desmond Tutu as saying that the Anglican/Episcopal Church is so obsessed with the gay issue that world poverty is not a priority.

"Archbishop Desmond Tutu has accused the Anglican church of allowing its 'obsession' with homosexuality to come before real action on world poverty.

"'God is weeping' to see such a focus on sexuality and the Church is 'quite rightly' seen by many as irrelevant on the issue of poverty, he said.

"It may be good to "accept that we agree to differ" on the gay issue, he said.

"Archbishop Tutu was addressing a conference of church leaders organised by the Christian charity Tearfund.

"The Church says its work on poverty tends to be overlooked."
