It is impossible to discern a meaning in the following:
...I do not wish to lend our voice to notions which might suggest that
same-sex couples are a threat incapable of sharing relationships marked
by love and holiness and, thus, incapable of contributing to the
edification of both the church and the wider society.
In the midst of changing societal definitions and understandings of
marriage, there may no doubt be some confusion. However, with patience
and humility, our church must continuously strive to discover what the
spirit is saying and respond to the Synod Fathers' suggestion to discern
what pastoral response faithful to church teaching and marked by
respect and sensitivity might be appropriate for same-sex couples, even
as God's creative designs for and the church's sacramental understanding
of marriage are affirmed....
Umnnnhhhh. Huh?
Somewhere in that spaghetti-nest of verbosity the Bishop could have said 'admonish the sinner in charity.' Ain'a?
