The American Anglican Council (AAC) has criticised the inclusion of an openly non-celibate homosexual on the list of candidates for the Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Newark in the United States.
In his personal profile, the Very Rev Canon Michael Barlowe, Congregational Development Officer for the Diocese of California, states that, “Paul Burrows has been my partner for 24 years”.
The AAC reacted with anger to the nomination of Canon Barlowe, saying that his “manner of life is contradictory to Scripture and the mind of the Anglican Communion (Lambeth 1.10)”.
In a statement released this week, the AAC added that his nomination “illustrates a theology outside the confines of classic Anglicanism”.
