The Anglican conflict over homosexuality has drawn worldwide
interest and divided the church. However, conflict within
Christianity is not new. This book traces the steps by which the
crisis emerged, and reveals the deeper debates within the church
which underlie both the current controversy and much earlier
splits. William L. Sachs contends that the present debate did not
begin with opposition to homosexuality or in advocacy of it. He
argues that, like past tensions, it originates in the diverging
local contexts in which the faith is practiced, and their differing
interpretations of authority and communion. In the aftermath of
colonialism, activists and reformers have taken on prominent roles
for and against the status quo. The crisis reveals a Church in
search of a new, global consensus about the appropriate forms of
belief and mission.
