t I think some of you would find what you call raging fundamentalism is the norm for the Anglican Communion.

That is the scary bit.

For you manybe, but the perfect love of God casts out fear.

There is nothing perfect about fundamentalism - regardless of whether it is Christian fundamentalism.

You should fear fundamentalism - its worth being fearful for good reason.

wayseer,

There is nothing perfect about fundamentalism - regardless of whether it is Christian fundamentalism.

1 John 4:8 "There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love."
Is what you are calling imperfect 'Christian fundamenatlism', actually God's love? It seems so to me.

Christian Fundamentalism is a reactionary 20th century movement. It has very little relation to the Christianity of the Apostles or the first 2000 years of the Christian Church.

Indeed.

The fundamentals of the faith (what is catholic [and Catholic]) is different from Fundamentalism, which has its roots in the 1900's but truly began to blossom in the 1920's.

I guess the other answer is that the Church and state can define marriage differently. Civil unions is yet another answer.

In any case, the Church hasn't always accepted all civil marriages.
