#1 Archbishop of Canterbury Shocks By Speaking Out Against Gay Adoption

AFAIK that's the one, and only one, issue he can be called conservative on. Whether it's from true conviction or an effort to keep the African, Asian, and Latin American bishops in the fold is still not clear to me.

#3 what a shame that they framed the discussion in terms of preventing paedophilia. Christian churches do more for orphaned children around the world than you can imagine. It would be a shame if they were forced to provide homes that they deem to be against their beliefs. It is not an issue about whether or not homosexuals make good parents or not. It is an issue that people who are going out of their way to do good deeds and help others should not be forced to act against their beliefs - no matter what their beliefs are. I wouldn't be opposed to a Muslim charity that only wanted children adopted into Muslim homes. (yes I know how they feel about adoption - but I'm just using it as an example.) I'm tired of people who get in the way of people who do good deeds and say - if you don't do it my way, you can't do it at all. The ones who suffer are the orphans.

My response would be if you think that children should be placed in homosexual homes, then start your own adoption agency - but until you do, don't get in the way of those who ARE finding homes for the children.
