The Church of England convened a synod this past week, a gathering of bishops, clergy and laypeople for the purpose of reviewing and possibly changing church doctrine.
The result of this particular gathering was that the national assembly voted, after two days of debate, to let Anglican priests bless same-sex weddings and civil partnerships. The blessings will come despite the fact gay and lesbian weddings will still be prohibited in the church.
Intended as a compromise measure after five years of discussions on the church’s position on human sexuality, the result is confusing to many. The ban on same-sex weddings is because the church believes it is sinful behavior, yet the church will now bless those same “sinful” partnerships?

The Sovereign is the head of the Church of England. Odd how this immediately follows the Coronation of the Woke King Charles.
What is new is dropping the pretense.
Yep- that is why folks left England and started their/our own country free from persecution by the government and their “official religion”. People were persecuted and arrested if they didn’t toe the church of England line.
Christianity cannot compromise with evil; it isn’t then Christianity anymore.
Hmmm The COE left Christianity because a king couldn’t get a divorce.Now they can leave religion all together.Where does it all end?
Of course the present pope is no bargain
Isn't the head of the Church Of England now King Charles III? That would explain a lot.
