ABSTRACT

Meanwhile, the Church of England – alone in Britain – has continued to travel in the opposite direction. The world only spins in one direction. Anglicanism is not the only denomination trying to find a way through the mire and myriad conversations on sexuality. But as a global church, Anglicans would quite like to change the subject, please. The Anglican Primates from around the world gathered in January 2016 at the behest of the Archbishop of Canterbury. There is also widespread myth in the Anglican Communion, that the dioceses and congregations of the global south form the majority, and are the only ones growing numerically. Moreover, this myth has some leverage. The Primates will need to grasp that LGBT Christians are an inescapable part of the Anglican Communion. Anglicans have always varied in their practices; but they remain as one on the creeds, doctrine and the essentials of faith.
