Gay Marriage in Welsh Churches? Welsh Bishops Say it is 'Unjust' not to Provide for Same-Sex Couples
Wales Online ^ | 9/12/18 | David Williamson

The leaders of the Church in Wales have started the process that could lead to gay couples marrying in church

The Bishops of the Church in Wales say it is “unsustainable and unjust” not to make formal provisions for people who are in committed same-gender relationships.

Members of the church’s governing body will today vote in a private ballot to say whether or not they agree that new arrangements are needed.

This could pave the way for future legislation to open the door to gay marriage in the Church in Wales.

Last year Scottish Anglicans voted to allow gay couples to marry in church however the move would not take effect until after 2021.

Guess the “bishops” never consult the Bible.

These churches cease to be the temples of the Lord when this is allowed.

Whatever was holy is gone.

This is so insulting and arrogant to think one knows better than scripture, how the church ‘ should evolve ‘ - they know more than the Lord???

Apparently, the Bible does not mean sh*t to Anglicans now, like wtf about Sodom and Gomorrah?!

Matthew 7:2121
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ 23Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’
