In the beginning God created Adam
and Eve, and not Adam and Steve. Thus, against all odds, Church of England in
keeping to God’s original plan for man as it concerns marriage has vehemently
rejected the calls to permit same-sex marriage.
According to the House of
Bishops, there is “little support for changing the Church of England’s teaching
on marriage” that it is between one man and one woman.
A new account, following two
years of internal debate, does however say the church needs to adopt a “fresh
tone and culture of welcome and support”.
Also, Rt. Rev Graham James,
Bishop of Norwich admonish the body of Christ (church) not to “adapt its
doctrine to the fashions of any particular time”.
“We hope the tone and register of
this report will help to commend it, though we recognise it will be challenging
reading for some,” said Rev James, who will present the report to the General
Synod on 15 February.
“This is no last word on this
subject. For there are very different views on same-sex relationships within
the church, and within the house of bishops, mainly based on different
understandings of how to read scripture.”
The report, entitled Marriage and
Same Sex Relationships after the Shared Conversations, suggests new teachings
on marriage and relationships should be drawn up to replace those introduced in
the 1990s.
The Marriage (Same-Sex Couples)
Act was passed for England and Wales in 2013 and came into force the following
year.
The same House of Bishops report
has been criticised for adopting a “don’t ask, don’t tell” stance on gay clergy
– a reference to the former US military policy.
