Kuala Lampur and Dallas Statements of bishops

Kuala Lampur Statement (1997):

This statement on human sexuality was adopted unanimously by the 80 delegates to the "Second Anglican Encounter in the South" in Kuala Lampur, Malaysia. Some of the points raised by the statement are:

	The delegates were concerned about certain sexual developments in Northern Anglican provinces: "specifically, the ordination of practicing homosexuals and the blessing of same-sex unions." These practices call "into question the authority of the Holy Scriptures."
	God's clear will is that human sexuality "is to be expressed only within the life-long union of a man and a woman in (holy) matrimony."
	Major changes to church policy on sexual matters should only proceed after a consensus has first been reached. ₁

Dallas Statement (1997):

In preparation for the 1998 Lambeth Conference, 50 religiously conservative bishops and archbishops from 16 countries met in Dallas, TX. They attended a five day meeting, starting 1997-SEP-20. They issued "The Dallas Statement" which dealt in detail with two issues of concern to the Communion: international debt and human sexuality. Some of the points raised by the statement on sexuality are:

	The statement on human sexuality issued at an earlier 1997 conference at Kuala Lumpur was affirmed.
	The Bible is "the rule and ultimate standard of faith." It is clearly written and adequate for the guidance of Christians.
	The Bible consistently teaches"...lifelong heterosexual monogamy...[is] the God-given norm for sexual relationships."
	"Scripture offers no positive examples of non-marital sex; and it contains specific condemnations of fornication and homosexual practice as sin."
	"...only both genders together can mould the world in a humane way."
	The Bible provides no justification for the church to ordain non-celibate homosexuals or bless same sex relationships.
	The "...persecution and ostracism of homosexual persons as well as sexual hypocrisy are evils and have no place in the church."
