Episcopal theologian Paul Zahl of Birmingham, Alabama has exposed a systematic plan to suppress dissent of those who opposed the appointment of openly homosexual bishop Eugene Robinson:
Zahl said he was accidentally given an agenda and strategy memo by the staff of the Anglican Consultative Council of London that lays out a plan for dealing with conservatives who opposed approval of the U.S. Episcopal Church's first openly gay bishop.
"They are circumventing and pre-empting a genuine exchange of fair opinion," Zahl said.
Zahl said the two secret documents were a tightly scripted agenda for the meeting and a memo to Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, advising him how to avoid allowing conservatives to effectively voice their opinion about Robinson.
The memo to the archbishop of Canterbury argued that it was imperative to frustrate the will of archbishops from Third World countries who are generally conservative and strongly opposed to the U.S. church's stance on homosexuality, Zahl said.
Which shows the stance of the left continues to be all views need to be heard as long as they agree with their views. Oh, and whatever happened to the great concern for those in the Third World--or is that as long as they do as they're told?
