Gay rights campaigner criticizes FCA

[Religious Intelligence] 13 July 2009--A leading gay rights campaigner has sharply criticized the Queen for writing a letter of support to organizers of the Fellowship of Confessing Anglicans (FCA) conference held on July 6 at Westminster Central Hall.

The Queen had made a “serious error of judgment,” Peter Tatchell said, in a statement published on his website and had “breached royal protocol by embroiling herself in an issue of religious and political controversy.” However, the FCA letters were not the first sign of royal favour for the traditionalist movement, as Archbishop Henry Orombi reports that he and the Queen corresponded over the Church of Uganda’s boycott of the 2008 Lambeth Conference.
