  • New Statement from College of Bishops

    There’s a new statement from the College of Bishops today about same-sex marriage.

    It can, and should, be read in full – see here: College of Bishops Guidance re Marriage 2014

    I’m appalled by its contents and in particular appalled at the way the Bishops of the Scottish Episcopal Church are treating gay clergy and lay readers in the church. The homophobic bullying of candidates for ministry – ordinands and candidates for lay readership is particularly unpleasant.

    I expect I will have more to say, in many ways and in many places.

      Is offered to sustain thinking regarding the environment. As an organization we need assurance that this issue is being taken seriously and with intent throughout the church. Need to decide locally how best to proceed in this area.

        He appears now to be talking about a second amendment which we cannot see. Chair has not yet taken a vote on the first amendment. (Fear confusion ahead)
