- Notes
- "I must assume that the three priests who have written to the Archbishop of Canterbury concerning the election of Canon Kevin Robertson to the episcopate have not considered him as a loving Christian or perhaps do not even know him as a person ('Election of gay bishop spurs complaint to Canterbury', Dec. 2016, p. 10). The statement that his election is 'contrary to the teaching of the historic and universal church on chastity and marriage' only implies to me that these clergy are not keeping up with the changing attitudes of most Christians. I have had the privilege of working with Kevin at Christ Church Deer Park. He is a compassionate and caring person. His energy, enthusiasm and ability to thank and praise people have been reflected in the outpouring of love for him in our church. He has been a true spiritual leader to our congregation. And all these characteristics will define him as a bishop". [Text of entire article.]
