Tutu calls Anglicans on sexual obsessions

BBC news reports “Archbishop Desmond Tutu has called on Africa’s Anglican church to overcome its “obsession” with the issue of gay priests and same-sex marriages. He said they should spend time on more pressing issues in the region … He said: ‘We’ve, it seems to me, been fiddling whilst as it were our Rome was burning.’”

Hmmm, I could call the same for Sydney’s Anglican church. Consumerism, pluralism, spirituality, collapse of Christian credibility and moral authority in the media and public discourse … don’t these issues deserve some attention? I don’t recall Jesus being that sex obsessed.

See here for the rest of the article.

One of the Anglican blogs that seems to be on lots of people’s blogrolls and recommended as a good blog is “Father Jake stops the world”. I had a look at it recently, and found it was full of obscure comments on internal Anglican infighting. Tutu is right: Anglicans seem to be becoming utterly introverted.
