...Williams' response to the scripture's stance on homosexuality is particularly instructive. He said, "It's impossible to get from Scripture anything straightforwardly positive about same-sex relationships." The Bible states that all such relationships are wrong. When one comes to the Christian faith, one is expected to work at becoming more like Christ, not to mold Christ to fit one's beliefs. The Archbishop would not have had to deal with this crisis if he had been sincere enough to follow Jesus Christ's teachings, as clearly stated in the Bible. Bukola Apantaku, LEICESTER, ENGLAND...
...Paprika dives into a splashy dream world for a parade of marching umbrellas, refrigerators and giant dolls that is as grand as it is eerie. Rambunctious comedy? Mike Reiss and Xeth Feinberg's Queer Duck is at least as rude as Knocked Up and yards funnier, whether its titular same-sex mallard is waddling up to the bar to order "a slow comfortable screw up against the wall of a bus station in Passaic, New Jersey," or enduring a spot of gay-bashing in an episode (from the 3min. filmettes on which the feature is based) called "Ku Klux Klan...

In 1989 he delivered a lecture in which he stated, "The absolute condemnation of same-sex relations of intimacy must rely either on an abstract fundamentalist deployment of a number of very ambiguous texts or on a problematic and nonscriptural theory." As a bishop, he knowingly ordained at least one noncelibate...
...like a promise, for now, to make no more gay bishops and bless no more gay marriages. The Episcopalians made ambiguous gestures of compliance but have elected as their presiding bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori, who had supported Robinson. Today Williams calls Robinson's election--absent any prior decision allowing same-sex ordination--"bizarre and puzzling...
