[Magdalen] TEC suspended from Anglican Communion

[Charles Wohlers]

One might also note that the "clear teaching of scripture" is that there is 
nothing wrong with slavery. Among other things.

What I don't get is why the claims of "the clear teaching of
Scripture" aren't challenged more, based on what the texts actually
say and to whom. And what I really don't get is when the response is
something along the lines of "Well, we don't idolize Scripture
anyway," or "There's more than Scripture." When what could be said is
that we regard Scripture highly enough to read what it says and what
message is intended, and to whom the message is directed--all of which
is the opposite of twisting Scripture to meet our needs, or not
hearing its "clear teaching."
