[Anglican] Archbishop of Wales Apologises for Gay Prejudice
BBC ^ | 4/6/16

Posted on 04/06/2016 8:44:37 AM PDT by marshmallow

The head of the Church in Wales has apologised "unreservedly" to gay couples for prejudice in the church.

Archbishop of Wales Dr Barry Morgan spoke at a meeting of the governing body in Llandudno on Wednesday.

The church tweeted "Archbishop of Wales offers a pastoral letter on same-sex relationships apologising unreservedly for prejudice within the church."

Last year, Dr Morgan said it would be "foolish" to bring forward a bill for same-sex marriages in church.

A statement released by the church said although it was not ready to allow or bless same-sex marriages, "the debate is not over".

It went on to apologise for "the persecution and mistreatment [gay people] have endured at the hands of the Church".

Dr Morgan also authorised prayers which can be said with same-sex couples following a celebration, but they fall short of a church blessing for civil partnerships and marriages.

Genesis 19:5 “bring them out that we may know them”. This means, the denizens of the twin cities had systematically molested each and every man, woman and child. They were uncomfortable having two strangers who were unmolested. (When a zombie bites you, it’s just his way of saying “Hi!”.) The modern equivalent is something in the history of the Manson cult called “get scared”. Every last cult member must be systematically molested to break down their human dignity so they could commit murder on auto-pilot.

He might as well apologize for the Bible.

He’s apologizing for God’s word. He might as well toss the Bible and hand in his robes and rosary since he doesn’t believe in his God. Or maybe he’s got too good of a gig in this life.

This is what happens when the state controls religion.

Did he get to preview Francis' Apostolic Exhortation?
