Mark 3:25 says; "And if a house becomes divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand."

Where oh where does the Bible say that love is a sin? What sin would the homophobes have Bishop Robinson repent of? Should Episcopal Bishop Shori be required to repent of being born female? Would the conservatives be happier if Robinson were closeted and hypocritical? This is all such nonsense.

And just a question, who is the third most senior Bishop in England???

'Bishop' Robinson, Please read Matthew 13:24-30 and when you have understood the word of God, repent of all of your sins.

Aside from it being the most ridiculous analogy ... I'm always struck by how un-Christ-like some so-called Christians can be.

So, rescuing the people of an oppressed military state and fighting against terrorism are equivalent to ordaining a Sodomite bishop and thumbing one's nose at the rest of the Communion? Words fail me.

Jonathan, Albany, NY, USA

So an illegal invasion and mass murder are equivalent to the people of New Hampshire choosing a man they have known and loved for almost 30 years as their bishop?

Words fail me.

The bishop of Durham needs to separate the "new Episcopals" in America from most Yanks and British ex-pats! Were he to walk the streets of America and visit those churches that left the Episcopal Church after it deviated from Anglicanism in 1979, he would feel right at home!

And who pays the bills?

How much money comes from the USA and how much money comes from Africa?

Arik Silverman, Milwaukee, USA

If it weren't for the Archbishop of Canterbury, this would be in the running for the stupidest remark of the century (so far).

Marc, Chicago, USA

Well done Bishop Wright-more more, Jude 1:4 'Some people have slipped in among you unnoticed. Not long ago they were condemned in writing for the following reason: They are people to whom God means nothing. They use God's kindness as an excuse for sexual freedom and deny Lord, Jesus Christ.'
