axesladeIn the exchange an evangelical Christian, written eight years ago when he was Archbishop of Wales, Dr. Williams described his belief that the usual biblical passages used to condemn gay sex and relationships were not aimed at gay people but at heterosexuals looking for "sexual variety."
He describes his view as his "definitive conclusion" reached after 20 years of study and prayer. He did, however, draw a distinction between his own beliefs as a theologian and his position as a church leader. Williams also described how his view began to change from opposing gay when he was a university teacher and his Christian students told him they believed that the Bible forbade promiscuity rather than gay sex.
A true example of the students becoming the teacher...
Williams said he had:
definitely come to the conclusion that the Bible did not denounce faithful relationships between people who happened to be gay
