Letter to the editor: Agape and eros

Notes: "Regarding the upcoming General Synod, is the 'Anglican Journal' going to endorse either the traditionalist or the modernist understanding of marriage in the church ?" "Paul in his Letter to the Corinthians, includes adultery and homosexual relations among the practices that prevent the practitioner from inheriting the Kingdom of God. What does this mean, 'to inherit the Kingdom of God ?' The state already provides for secular marriage. Maybe all a homosexual union would require in order to be consistent with Scripture would be a ceremony that includes a vow of lifelong celibacy. We could get over this confusion between love as agape and love as eros. I'd like to see some outreach (especially in this newspaper) to regain the trust of those Christians who left the Anglican Church of Canada over this issue".
