Multnomah Dell/John’s Market 3535 SW Multnomah BIvcL r j s he gay man appointed bishop of the Church of England’s Reading diocese withdrew his acceptance of the job July 6 following a huge, weeks- long row that threatened to destroy the worldwide Anglican Communion, which includes the Episco pal Church in the United States. Canon Jeffrey John has lived with a partner for 27 Jeffrey John years hut claims they no longer have sex. That was too much for church conservatives in Britain and several developing nations who threatened that the Anglican Communion would split apart if his appoint ment was allowed to stand. In stepping down, John said his consecration would cause too much damage to church unity. Anglican conservatives still are reeling over the selection of an openly gay bishop in New Hamp- shire and over the bishop of Vancouver, British Columbia's recent decision to offer church gay union ceremonies. stayed and listened to the activists speak for 30 minutes. Among those who remained were Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, who is the head of the Anglican Communion; Hope; and five other bishops. “We are here because this synod is refusing to discuss the persecution of Canon Jeffrey John and the broader issue of homosexual human rights,” Tatchell said. “When you slam the door in our face, we have no alternative hut to protest against a church that is blind to reason and deaf to compassion. “The Anglican Communion is the moral equivalent of the Dutch Reform Church in South Africa during the apartheid era," Tatchell charged. “It uses theology to justify prejudice and discrimination.” A July 11 vote on sex education in Britain’s House of Lords had the effect of repealing the notorious Section 28, a law that prohibited kx:al governments from promoting homosexual- ity and prohibited schtxils from teaching that homosexuality is acceptable. The House of Commons had voted to over turn the law in March. The section was repealed in Scotland three years ago. Enacted by the Tory government in 1988, the section stated: “A lixal authority shall not (a) intentionally promote homosexuality or publish material with the intention of promoting homo- sexuality; (b) promote the teaching in any main- tained school of the acceptability of homosexu- ality as a pretended family relationship." igh-profile British gay activist Peter .Tatchell continued his campaign against the Anglican Archbishop of York, David Hope, July 11 by affixing a declaration to the door of York Minster cathedral during the Church of England’s General SyncxJ.
