ELO: Sudanese archbishop wants Robinson's resignation

Posted without comment:

Episcopal Life Online - NEWS: "Archbishop Daniel Deng Bul, primate of the Episcopal Church of Sudan (ECS), said July 22 that New Hampshire Bishop Gene Robinson should resign in order to preserve the unity of the Anglican Communion.

'Gene Robinson has to be away from the Anglican world and be a normal Christian,” said Deng at an afternoon news conference. 'If he is, as he always says, a Christian, he should resign for the sake of the church.'

Asked if he has talked to Robinson, Deng replied, 'I have nothing to say to him.'

He also said he cannot participate in the Anglican Communion's Listening Process because homosexuality is not 'approved by the Bible' and 'is not part of my culture, I cannot talk about it.' Deng said there are no gay or lesbian people in Sudan."
