國際消息:美國聖公會爭議聲中按立同志主教
(11月5日消息)

在爭議聲和分裂危機籠罩下,美國聖公會(the US Episcopal Church)新罕布什爾教區照原定計劃,在剛過去的主日(11月2日)按立公開承認自己是同性戀者的羅便臣(Gene Robinson)為主教「助手」(coadjutor)。出席典禮的人士包括五十位主教以及過千名信徒。

該教區的現任主教奎拿(Douglas Theuner)將於明年三月退休,作為「助手」的羅便臣屆時會自動成為該教區的領袖。

羅便臣在典禮上表示自己的按立是一個歷史性的時刻,代表「被邊緣化」的人終可在教會內發聲。他鼓勵支持者日後多去接觸反對者:「很多反對者也是忠誠、出色的信徒,在他們感到痛苦、混亂和憤怒的時刻,我們要去愛他們,這就如同服事上帝。」

普世聖公宗精神領袖坎特伯雷大主教羅雲威廉斯(Rowan Williams)在羅便臣被按立後發聲明指:有關事件可能帶來一個分裂的教會。

來自肯雅的干高(Thomas Kogo)主教代表肯雅聖公會宣佈與美國聖公會脫離關係:「我們不會支持教會內的同性戀,因為那是罪。」尼日利亞主教艾基路拿(Peter Akinola)亦指責美國聖公會將文化議題凌駕於聖經教導。

美國聖公會內部亦有反對聲音,一直反對按立羅便臣的美國聖公議會(American Anglican Council)發聲明指:「異端成為聖潔!褻瀆有全新定義!聖經被廢棄!罪竟獲慶祝!」紐約的賓納(David Bena)主教表示至少有卅多位美國主教不會承認羅便臣。
