Synod 2023: Church of England likened to «abusive partner» in angry same-sex marriage debate
Bishops have been warned that half measures short of embracing same-sex marriage risk «creating a fog that will please no one».
The Church of England was likened to an «abusive partner» during an «uncomfortable» hours-long debate on Wednesday as it ruled out a push towards same-sex marriage in favour of watered-down reforms on LGBT+ issues.
The Synod – known as the church’s parliament – is considering a motion which repents the church’s failure “to be welcoming to LGBT+ people” and the harm they have faced and still experience, inews.co.uk reports.
