and on that note .... perhaps the floods are a judjement on said old farts with a penchant for choire boys, and the rest of society has to suffer for there sins, perhaps one of the believers can ask there god , i would ask myself but you still get bunged in a straight jacket around here for talking to your invisible friends, i find it verry disturbing the way some people quote "gods"will ( bassed on what exactly , a book of dubious heritage and the rantings of those who seem to abstaine from everything enjoyable in life)oh yes if you havent guessed i'm a non believer

Gay clergy to be banned in Synod deal
Quote:

The Church of England yesterday agreed to draw up a disciplinary code that could result in the expulsion of liberals from worldwide Anglicanism after it heard that the alternative was disintegration.

In an emotive debate at the General Synod in York, liberal speakers criticised the idea of such a covenant, saying it could be used like a "blunt instrument" against them.

But conservatives said that if the Church failed to define boundaries of belief, worldwide Anglicanism could never rebuild the trust destroyed during the conflict over homosexuality that has brought it to the brink of schism.

However, his amendment was overwhelmingly rejected, and the Synod instead agreed to allow the Archbishops of Canterbury and York to respond to the draft covenant by the end of the year."
