Letter to the editor: God's time

Notes: "I am a married, gay Anglican whose civil marriage was wonderfully blessed by God, through liturgy and eucharistic celebration, in my home parish. The difference between our civil marriage having been blessed, compared to being married in the church building, is not enough cause for dividing our Communion. We are a global, sacramentally unified denomination, across race and culture, with a common Eucharist. We are all 'baptized into one body .. of one Spirit' (1 Corinthians 12:13). I am an Anglican partly because of this sacramental union, but recognize the racial, cultural and theological challenges involved in unity, especially with the African church .... Patience, for further prayerful, global, Anglican dialogue on the meaning of Christian marriage, is a gift of the Spirit".
