'LIFE-LONG ANGLICAN" A WISHFUL THINKER (letter published in Dom Post, September 29)


The Paekakariki “life-long Anglican”('Gay village' vetoes church nuptials) who’s disappointed with the Anglican ruling against homosexual weddings has to be a wishful thinker.

She must have known that the Anglican Church, like all other Christian churches – including those at Kapiti Uniting Parish - has historically opposed same-sex relationships. Why should she expect the Church to bless hers?
Christianity opposes same-sex relationships because they are opposed to God. “Male and female He made them ... to go out and multiply.” So why does she think she and her partner are “uniting under God”?
The Anglican Church is not being “discriminatory”. It's just acting according to its beliefs. It celebrates and blesses marriages.

But same-sex unions are not, and cannot be, marriage “under God”.
