Editor’s note: At the Friday 20 January 2023 press conference in London held to announce the House of Bishops recommendations on the Living in Love and Fellowship process, the Bishop of London, the Rt. Hon and Rt. Rev. Sarah Mullaly was asked by a reporter: “gay Christians have been asking: ‘if we can have a civil marriage, come to church and have that relationship blessed, are we still expected by the church to remain celibate?’ Or is it now understood if the marriage is blessed, and sex should take place within the marriage, then gay couples are allowed to express themselves sexually as well?”
The Bishop of London replied I part: “I recognize it’s a question that many, many are proposing. I think that what we recognize is that within the College of Bishops, there will be a range of views that are held on that.
“What we’re doing is proposing prayers for people as a stage of their relationship. And within that relationship, and we’re specifically saying it is a faithful, lifelong relationship between two people.
“One thing I have learned through listening is that there is a whole range of ways in which people will express that relationship. Some will be sexual, some will not, some will be friendship, and some will be sexual. And so the prayers are there that can be offered. And I think that the way they will be used is there will be a range of ways in which they will be used in that.

Seems like churches don’t really care about sin any more.
“Do What Thou Wilt is the whole of the law.”
Slippery slope, downward spiral. Be ready to meet Jesus at any moment.
The Bishop sure has an odd idea of “Godly.”
Can straight priests get laid now?
BS!
Some bishops will end up in hell.
Not when you serve the god of faggotry in this fake church
As an engineer, I don’t like it if people misuse what I create. I cannot imagine that God would be happy with people who misuse and treat as an entrance what He created as an exit.
So says the Church of Satan.
My question is what are they expecting to get out of lying?
(I do NOT allow for them sincerely believing anything-—it’s all a lying ploy.)
If the homosexual percentage is 3.5% as UCLA Williams Institute in their School of Law reported, or even 7.1% as Gallup reported, then the other people are either pretending to be supportive (virtue signaling or fearing reprisals) or they don’t actually want special privileges and funding for homosexuals.
Did they get that in writing from God?
This is the ANGLICAN church ... so the answer is that they have for centuries. It didn't make any difference, did it?
Atheist “church”.
Boy, seems like the wheels are coming off of this church as far as what constitutes abomination.
People don’t go to Church to hear the same garbage they get off of television. (I guess that’s why less and less people go to Church)
And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. (Matthew 19:4-6)
And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: All these evil things come from within, and defile the man. (Mark 7:20-23)
And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life. (Revelation 21:27)
Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. (Revelation 22:14-15)
You misspelled “the GloboHomo of London”...
No age restrictions either, I’m sure.
