ABC SAYS "REPENT"
Rowan Williams, the archbishop of Canterbury, is strongly suggesting that the Episcopal Church US "repent" of the global rift caused by the episcopal ordination of Gene Robinson, a practicing homosexual. This is interesting because Williams himself has been partially responsible for the rift through his own theological waffling on this issue. Indeed, he is not calling the Episcopal Church to repent of its unrighteous and unbiblical position but for rocking the Anglican boat too much through its autonomous activity. This is a start but the repentance must also include the modern Anglican propensity toward an autonomous hermeneutic -- a system of biblical interpretation that has been severed from the roots of historical Christianity.
