CRANKYPRESENT!

A Times Reporter goes to ex-gay camp. The first three-and-a-half pages are good, well written, interesting and scary. The last quarter, when they try to talk about homosexuality in the church in England today, is less so. They try to give a broad overview of theological positions and predict the future of the church, but even when talking about Anglicans the journalist acts as if the church is unified on the matter. Which it isn't, even at the uppermost level. And if you're going to issue dire warnings about what will happen "if the churches aren't careful" (people will start ignoring the church as they do re: contraception), then you need to talk to some LIBERAL Christians before you go around predicting the future.
