The Anglican Peace and Justice Network (APJN), in response to the Lambeth resolution to engage in dialogue with the gay and lesbian community, heard a presentation from both lesbian and gay men's organizations from Seoul, Korea. Much of the emphasis of the presentations focused on the human rights aspect of gay and lesbian issues. The speakers noted the church as a major source of repression of homosexuals and asked that the power of love given in Jesus Christ be used as a basis for understanding and accepting gay and lesbian people.
The APJN recognized deep divisions on the subject of homosexuality that surfaced after the Lambeth resolution, especially the section on how Scripture is used to discuss homosexuality and on the blessing of same sex unions and ordaining those involved in same gender unions. These concerns exist largely in the Anglican Communion's northern provinces, but also emerge elsewhere in the Communion and should not be seen exclusively as a Western subject. The Network agreed to continue to consider the justice dimensions of the debate over homosexuality, in the hope of contributing to the dialogue called for in the Lambeth resolution.
