In what appears to be a blatant contradiction of the truth of God's word, the Church of England released a statement on Wednesday announcing it will allow congregations to bless same-sex unions but will maintain a traditional definition of marriage.
The subhead for the release on the churchofengland.org website says, "For the first time, under historic plans outlined today, same-sex couples will be able to come to church to give thanks for their civil marriage or civil partnership and receive God's blessing."
The Bishops of the Church of England, the release says, will issue an apology later this week to LGBTQI people for the "rejection, exclusion and hostility they have faced in churches and the impact this has had on their lives."
Furthermore, the Bishops will "urge all congregations in their care to welcome same-sex couples 'unreservedly and joyfully' as their reaffirm their commitment to a "radical new Christian inclusion founded founded in scripture, in reason, in tradition, in theology and the Christian faith as the Church of England has received it based on good, healthy and flourishing relationships and in a proper 21st century understanding of being human and of being sexual."
