Church of England To Bless Gay Couples

The Archbishops of Canterbury and York yesterday
published the Report of the House of Bishops
Working Group on Human Sexuality.
And according to it, gay couples should be allowed to
have their relationships blessed in church.
DailyMail reports that the report, written by former
civil servant Sir Joseph Pilling and a team of senior
churchmen and women, was published seven
months after the Church first indicated it is looking
at 'accommodations' for same-sex couples and four
months after the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most
Reverend Justin Welby, told Church leaders that 'we
must accept there is a revolution in the area of
sexuality.'
It signals an end to the Church's longstanding
insistence that gay relationships are sinful and less
worthy than heterosexual marriage.
And may now open the way for a reversal of the
CofE's opposition to same-sex marriage and the
eventual appointment of actively homosexual priests
and bishops
Archbishop Welby said yesterday that bishops will
now 'consider the report and decide how such a
process might best be shaped.'
