Endlich eine positive Meldung einer Kirche!
Und diese natuerlich nicht vom Papst.
Die Anglikanische Kirche gibt Darwin recht!
Hier der Originaltitel:
Charles Darwin to receive apology from the Church of England for rejecting evolution
The Church of England is to apologize to Charles Darwin for its initial rejection of his theories, nearly 150 years after he published his most famous work.

Sections of Church likely to be dismayed by Darwin move
The Church of England will concede in a statement that it was over-defensive and over-emotional in dismissing Darwin's ideas. It will call "anti-evolutionary fervor" an "indictment" on the Church".
The bold move is certain to dismay sections of the Church that believe in creationism and regard Darwin's views as directly opposed to traditional Christian teaching.
The apology, which has been written by the Rev Dr Malcolm Brown, the Church's director of mission and public affairs, says that Christians, in their response to Darwin's theory of natural selection, repeated the mistakes they made in doubting Galileo's astronomy in the 17th century.
"The statement will read: Charles Darwin: 200 years from your birth, the Church of England owes you an apology for misunderstanding you and, by getting our first reaction wrong, encouraging others to misunderstand you still. We try to practice the old virtues of 'faith seeking understanding' and hope that makes some amends."
Opposition to evolutionary theories is still "a litmus test of faithfulness" for some Christian movements, the Church will admit. It will say that such attitudes owe much to a fear of perceived threats to Christianity.
The comments are included on a Church of England website promoting the views of Charles Darwin to be launched on Monday.

Re: Endlich eine positive Meldung einer Kirche!
Drei Priester gehen in die Sauna. Beim Betreten im Adamskostüm stellen sie fest, dass sowohl Männer als auch Frauen in der Sauna sitzen. Vor Schreck verhüllen zwei der Priester mit dem Handtuch ihre Scham, der dritte seinen Kopf und sagt:
"Ich weiß ja nicht, woran Euch Eure Gemeindemitglieder erkennen. Meine erkennen mich am Gesicht!"
