Statement of Clarification on the Archbishop of Armagh's USPG Address
Responding to reports of an address to the USPG Conference reported in Saturday’s media, a statement clarifying the points made is issued via the Church of Ireland Press Office:
The address calls for a mature discussion of the issue of homosexuality that draws upon both scripture and the results of scientific research using the application of traditional Anglican methods. Archbishop Harper’s closely argued address applies Anglican method as described by the 16th century theologian Richard Hooker. The Archbishop does not call for a particular outcome. The Archbishop’s address draws no parallels between same sex relationships and marriage.
