Standing Against Illiberal Winds

The Lead

"Illiberal winds are blowing pernicious policy and polity changes our way," the Rev. Canon Marilyn McCord Adams, Regius Professor of Divinity at Oxford University says. "…The Communiqué from the Tanzanian Primates’ meeting brought the intentions of those who dictated its content more fully out of the closet."

What delicious use of irony – those intentions are meant to force gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgendered persons back into the closet, at least in the Anglican church. Must read this more carefully tomorrow.  And I like that term "illiberal." It's time we defined the opposition in terms of what they are not for a change, taking back the label of "liberal" with pride.
