To put a married gay bishop (Kevin Robertson) on the drafting group for the #LambethCall on Human Dignity, then insert the reaffirmation of a hateful, divisive resolution (Lambeth 1.10 of 1998) into the document after the call left the drafting group … 2/
And then expect that either Bishop Robertson would not remark on this egregious violation of his trust, or that no one would care if he did.

.@JustinWelby has some explaining to do. Bishop Kevin Robertson, was a member of the group that drafted the controversial #LambethCall on Human Dignity. It never included a call to reaffirm the homophobic Lambeth 1.10. He doesn’t recognize it. 1/ facebook.com/684821280/post…
He writes: “I never agreed to this Call in its current form. At no point in our meetings did we discuss the reaffirmation of Lambeth 1.10 at the Conference, and it never appeared in any of the early drafts of our work together.” 2/
“I can confidently say that the Human Dignity Call in its current form does not represent the mind of the drafting group, and I distance myself from the reaffirmation of Lambeth 2.10 in the strongest possible ways.” 3/
