Archbishop Tutu tells it like it is

"In November of 2005, Archbishop Desmond Tutu gave a speech urging the Anglican Church to accept gay bishops. Here's what he said: "Jesus did not say, 'If I be lifted up I will draw some.' Jesus said, 'If I be lifted up I will draw all, all, all, all, all.' Black, white, yellow, rich, poor, clever, not so clever, beautiful, not so beautiful. It's one of the most radical things. All, all, all, all, all, all, all, all. All belong. Gay, lesbian, so-called straight. All, all are meant to be held in this incredible embrace that will not let us go. All. Isn't it sad, that in a time when we face so many devastating problems — poverty, HIV/AIDS, war and conflict — that in our Communion we should be investing so much time and energy on disagreement about sexual orientation?" Amen to that. " From Nerve magazine's New Radicals article here. Thanks to Mystic Medusa's lovely blog for that one.
