Resolution of the Alliance
of Lesbian & Gay Anglicans
In the spirit of the Archbishop of Canterbury's prayer at the 1998 Lambeth Conference for the renewed Church, we call our Communion to respect the dignity of every human being and to recognize that:
Sexuality is a gift of God
Homosexuality and heterosexuality, as orientations, are morally neutral;
Those who know themselves to be gay or lesbian persons, who forge relationships with partners of their choice, that are faithful, monogamous, committed, life-giving and holy, are to be honored.
All orders of ministry of the Church are open to all baptized Christians.
This work is consistent with our Anglican tradition, which values the gifts of reason and welcomes truth from whatever source.
Our position ultimately is based on the total witness of Holy Scripture.
