third-world anglican hypocrisy

developing third world anglican churches have become rather militant about their prejudice and have made it a matter of conscience. are these people in latin america and africa, especially, blind to the fact that they themselves, by virtue of their race and/or ethnicity where once considered by "the church" souless animals who could be captured, enslaved, traded, abused and killed with no objection from the very deity they worship? to think how easily clergy of all faiths the world over support bigotry and hipocrisy even as many of them live, practise and secretly defend homosexuality day in and day out is unconscionable. that these people are looked up to by so many, are exempt form taxation and given myriad privileges and status so undeserved is shameful and objectionable.

the latest attack by anglican church conservatives on the consecration of an openly gay bishop in the US state of new hampshire: «african anglican archbishops resolved today to reject donations from any diocese that recognises gay clergy and will refuse cooperation with any missionary that supports the idea.»

and check this out: «the archbishops, meeting in the kenyan capital nairobi, also recommended that the episcopal church – the american branch of the anglican church –, be disciplined and be given three months "to repent" for the consecration of bishop gene robinson».

lol.
