It is increasingly difficult for the world to take the Anglican Church seriously due to the continuous disputes taking place within the worldwide Communion, said Anglican Archbishop Barry Morgan last week.
A report published in Christian Today says the archbishop of Wales questioned how the Anglican Church could convincingly call on the world to show compassion, peace and justice when its members are unable to hold a civilized debate among themselves.
He called on members of the Communion to have a “reasoned, balanced discourse” on issues of disagreement at the June meeting of the Anglican Consultative Council.
The archbishop also referred to the issue of homosexuality and expressed his more liberal leanings on the issue.
