...same-sex relationships from the very beginning: God did not create two Adams or two Eves but one of each. Archbishop Peter Akinola of Nigeria got it right, regardless of his being considered "archconservative" in your article. The following are not his words, but God's: "Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable" (Leviticus 18: 22 and 20: 13). If the Anglican community seriously considers that same-sex relationships are a matter open for discussion, then the Bible should be modified.

Blatchford, who says she stopped covering the trial because she was bored, scoffed at the notion that she was part of Black's "retinue," as another columnist at the Globe and Mail implied. But Blatchford did acknowledge that her connections to Black and Amiel could be seen as a plus by editors or readers. "It gives it, in the wretched modern phrase, 'added value,'" she says. In a country that has produced few personalities of Conrad...
...Orientalist splendor could seduce him into thinking that he is indeed Jerusalem's new Pasha. But Blair may find himself pacing his Ottoman-era suite with nowhere to go: the Israelis will dodge him because he will demand concessions for the Palestinians, while Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas will lie low because he is incapable of forcing the territories' militant groups to cease their violence against Israelis, or even among themselves...
