Of course all our current disputes in the Church of England boil down to how we interpret scripture.  Interestingly, Jesus gives us a lesson on interpreting scripture in Luke 10.  He quotes scripture saying 'Love your neighbour as yourself' and is then asked what the word neighbour means.  If you look the word up in the dictionary you get 'a person who lives near or next to another' but Jesus, through the parable of the Good Samaritan, gives the word the broadest and most big-hearted definition imaginable - to include any fellow human being including our enemies.  Surely there is something we might learn here with respect to interpretation - and apply ourselves?
