Dr John Sentamu is well known for his views on homosexuality

In a forthright interview with the Daily Telegraph, the second most senior cleric in the Church of England, the Archbishop of York, Dr John Sentamu, has compared prime minister David Cameron to a dictator over his support of gay marriage.

Last year, Mr Cameron announced his support of the introduction of civil marriage for gay couples, telling the Conservative Party conference: “to anyone who has reservations, I say this: Yes, it’s about equality, but it’s also about something else: commitment. Conservatives believe in the ties that bind us; that society is stronger when we make vows to each other and support each other.

“So I don’t support gay marriage in spite of being a Conservative. I support gay marriage because I am a Conservative.”

Today, Dr Senatmu, who is in Jamaica to celebrate the 50th anniversary of its independence from Britain told the newspaper: “Marriage is a relationship between a man and a woman.



*** i LOVE the anglican/epsicopal communion -- and lgbtiq people have many strong advocates there -- but there are too many like dr senatmu who have to be 'respected'. the church should schism and take the folks who believe like senatmu with them.
it's tiresome and depressing.
