- W95976406 abstract "Gays and the Future of Anglicanism: Responses to the Windsor Report. Edited by Andrew Linzey and Richard Kirker. Winchester, UK: O Books, 2005. xxxviii + 338 pp. $29.95 (paper). This collection of often passionate responses to the Windsor Report brings together an impressive array of twenty-three biblical scholars, theologians, and historians who support lesbian and gay people in ordained ministry. Yet this collection is not merely another apologia for homosexuality. These essays address human sexuality on the terms set by Windsor itself and present a mostly persuasive case that the Lambeth Commission has, if not failed, then fallen seriously short of providing a suitable response to the contemporary ecclesial impasse among Anglicans. The collection is divided into four parts. The first three address the particular issues identified by Windsor: the function of the nature of communion, and the fact of diversity. Although each of these essays appreciates the challenges faced by the Commission, each also reflects disappointment, if not outright dismay, over its proposals. L. William Countryman, for example, worries about the rush to quasi-papal authority, which the astonishing significance conferred upon the Primates' Meeting seems to indicate (p. 5). Likewise, Rowan Greer shares the deep concern reflected throughout this collection that Windsor has resorted to the easier and historically non-Anglican path of canonical and juridical proposals. It trust lies at the heart of what binds us together, I fail to see how trust can be compelled (p. 115). The four essays in part 4, Justice for Gays, make the overall concern of the first three parts even more explicit. By avoiding any direct engagement with the actual content of the matter under dispute, namely homosexuality, Windsor will likely perpetuate the very dynamics that created the current impasse. In that regard, both Adrian Thatcher and Andrew Linzey insist that moving forward will necessarily entail addressing the persistence of homophobic attitudes, or what Thatcher calls feelings of loathing and disgust toward lesbigay Christians (p. 277), that likely affect biblical interpretation, theological discourse, and ecclesial relations throughout the Communion. These accessible essays, replete with citations for further study, condense into one volume many of the critical engagements with Scripture and theology that have been transpiring for more than thirty years. As several of these writers argue, this is precisely the scholarship that the 1978 and 1988 Lambeth Conferences called for (p. 229), but which has often been dismissed or ignored in the controversies. As a whole, this volume offers an unflinching look at some of the troubling dynamics that have shaped the current sense of crisis and that would only be exacerbated if Windsor's proposals were adopted. Whether one agrees with this assessment matters far less than the contribution this collection makes toward identifying the substantive issues that ought to be informing the debate. …" @default.
