- "This paper has been written for the Lambeth Commission in response to an express request from the Commission's officers for a constructive paper that would assist them in their forthcoming meetings. It has been written by a number of theologians associated with the Anglican Communion Institute (ACI). .... More recently, however, it has sought of necessity to place its theological resources at the disposal of the wider Anglican Communion in its struggles with the vexed issue of homosexuality and the varied responses to this within the Communion.. In this difficult time, which threatens (in the words of the Primates gathered at Lambeth last October) to 'tear the very fabric of our Communion', it would have been an irresponsible form of scholarship that failed to offer its assistance based on our commitments to the Communion, to Anglicanism, to scholarship, as well as to godly living and pastoral practice". -- Preface.
