Church of Ireland (Anglican): Press Release on Gay Issues

Efforts are underway in the Church of Ireland to avoid the disorders, disruptions, dysfunctions, distractions, and deviances--doctrinal and practical--in the Episcopal Church, USA.  A view from 30,000 feet?  The Nigerans and Rwandans "get the big picture" while Western Anglicans, or many in leadership, don't "get it."  Here's the press release from Irish Churchmen.
