The churches have, slowly in the case of mine, woken up to the fact that everyone is gifted, though we’re still not good at living out that belief.

“Truly, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom;
and to depart from evil is understanding.”

The Anglican Church of North America has responded to criticism from the Anglican Church of Nigeria over ACNA’s recent statement regarding persons of (in ACNA’s words) “persons with same-sex attraction.” ACNA’s response makes no reference to the criticism by the Anglican Church of Nigeria, and deflects that criticism of its statement onto a “Dear Gay Anglicans” letter issued by some ACNA members, lay and clergy.
