Service is intended to send strong message to once-a-decade Lambeth conference
LGBT+ campaigners will hold a church service led by two high-profile married lesbian priests on the eve of the Lambeth conference, a once-a-decade assembly of Anglican bishops from around the world that is expected to be dominated by conflicts over sexuality and marriage.
The move is likely to rile conservative bishops who maintain that homosexuality is a sin.
An “inclusive” eucharist at a church in Canterbury will be presided over by the Rt Rev Mary Glasspool, the assistant bishop in New York. The preacher will be the Rev Canon Mpho Tutu van Furth, a daughter of Desmond Tutu, the veteran South African anti-apartheid campaigner.
The service is intended to send a strong message to up to 1,000 bishops from 165 countries who are due to gather at the University of Kent at the end of July for almost two weeks of prayer and discussion about issues facing the worldwide Anglican church.
The split over sexuality – between those who seek to uphold “biblical truth” and those who are pressing for acceptance and inclusivity – dominated the last Lambeth conference, in 2008, leading Rowan Williams, then archbishop of Canterbury, to warn that the church was in “grave peril”.

Women can’t be priests
Practicing unrepentant Lesbians can’t enter into the Kingdom of God
So much wrong with this story...
“The move is likely to rile conservative bishops who maintain that homosexuality is a sin.”
Now where could they have come up with such a narrow minded idea as that?
This thread is just so much Boo Chit.
No pics?
Who am I too judge...?
Homosexuals are ruining the USA!

Who cares if any human is “riled”
Ask God what He Says about it
Not being able to enter into the Kingdom of God is kinda important
REpentant Lesbians I am sure.. I hope so.
You can call it whatever you want, but it isn’t a church.
This is an “in Your Face” to our Heavenly Father. IMHO, I doubt if they have even read the Bible in its entirety.
They’re doing The Lambeth Walk all wrong
Well, it all goes back to Henry VIII and wife number two, Anne Boleyn. Henry broke with the Catholic Church so Anne would marry him as wife number two. She was the witch and he was weak.
Thus England became the "Anglican" Church with the Queen as its pope. Pope Elizabeth.
This article is really sad and disgusting.
“Not being able to enter into the Kingdom of God is kinda important”
Yeah they can’t be priests. Women and lesbian are disqualifying adjectives.
“..Their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones.
The men in the same way also left natural relations with women and were inflamed in their lust for one another. Men committed shameless acts with men and received in their own persons the appropriate penalty of their error.”
(New Testament, Romans 1:26,27)
Maybe the Bishops mistakenly thought they were Lebanese.
The Anglican “Pope” is the Archbishop of Canterbury
“Likewise, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns committed sexual immorality and perversions, and serve as an example by undergoing the punishment of eternal fire.”
(New Testament, Jude 1:7)
The Greco/ Roman religionists are back.
