Bishop Marc on the Primates' Communique

Our own Bishop, Marc Andrus, has published his response to the communique issued by the Primates of the Anglican Communion, after their meeting this weekend in Tanzania. The Bishop reaffirms that the Diocese of California remains committed to full inclusion of gay and lesbian people, ad calls on the people of the diocese to join in a public expression of that commitment.

I will call on the Diocese of California to come together at Grace Cathedral during the Easter Season (at a time and on a date to be determined) when we affirm the triumph of Christ over all that destroys the creatures of God, filling that great house of prayer for all people with the full diversity of the people of God: people who differ in mind but not heart; gay and straight people; men and women; the young with the old; the poor and the rich; people of every ethnicity, all together to show our understanding of Christ’s gift of new life in the Church.
