Resignation Pro

    Drexel Gomez the Anglican Archbishop of the Province of West

Summary:     Drexel Gomez the Anglican Archbishop of the Province of West Indies has been at the forefront of the anti homosexual effort in the Anglican Communion worldwide   The Bahamas learned this week that he along with eight other Bishops has taken issue with the ordination in the United States of a Bishop in the Communion who has acknowledged that he is homosexual with a partner of 27 years though celibate The word celibate really means not married so that does not say much since what they probably mean is not having sexual relations     Archbishop Gomez was reported by The Tribune to have written a letter to the Archbishop of Canterbury Dr Rowan Williams with eight other Bishops calling for the resignation of Bishop Jeffrey John   The Tribune said that the Archbishop spoke to the BBC saying that he objected to Dr John s consecration based not on his lifestyle but on this writings   The Archbishop told the BBC I was surprised by his appointment because I have read some of his writings in which he is not only critical but super critical of the church s traditional teaching on the whole issue of homosexuality     Suffragan Bishop Gilbert Thompson of The Bahamas commented further The West Indies position is that if someone is gay you can t do anything about that but if you are gay you should not be sexually active   If you are gay you should be living a celibate life   If there is any bad behaviour in terms of sexual misbehaviour the church has regulations where you can be censured   BISHOP GOMEZ DENOUNCES GAY BISHOP BAHAMASAIR PULLS OUT OF SOME ISLANDS     Bahamasair has celebrated 30 years of existence   It was born in the same year as the nation in 1973   It has been pretty much a commercial disaster although it has not lost one plane or passenger in an air accident   That aside there is not too much good you can say for it   It is always late   It is the bane of the businessman who can never rely on it to travel in The Bahamas on a timely basis   It is a headache for the Ministry of Finance which may have to dump 30 million dollars into it this year   The answer Sell Sell Sell   Some ask Who will buy     The Director General of Tourism Vincent Vanderpool Wallace explained to The Tribune s Business Section on Friday 27th June that Bahamasair has now decided now to pull out of service to North Eleuthera Andros and Treasure Cay Abaco because Bahamas Fast Ferries has such good service there that people now have reliable alternatives to air travel by Bahamasair   We thought that the reason Bahamasair flew into a place was to make sure that there was some reliable air service for Bahamians who wish to get up and on a timely basis   Well so much the better for Bahamas Fast Ferries one guesses     Let us hope that the monitoring of the ability of Bahamians to get up and down continues so that we are not caught dropping the ball when the private sector finds it inconvenient   Minister of Works Bradley Roberts spoke to a reception marking the 30th anniversary of Bahamasair   You     Drexel Gomez the Anglican Archbishop of the Province of West Indies has been at the forefront of the anti homosexual effort in the Anglican
