    Default Church of England bishops refuse to allow same-sex marriages

    The church is doing at least part of what it should as treating marriage as the Bible shows. This is what all churches that claim to be Christian should do

    The Church of England will refuse to allow same-sex couples to get married in its churches under proposals set out on Wednesday in which the centuries-old institution said it would stick to its teaching that marriage is between a man and a woman.The proposals were developed by bishops, who form one of three parts of Church’s governing body known as the General Synod, after the Church of England’s six-year consultation on sexuality and marriage – among other subjects – and will be put to the General Synod at a meeting next month.The Church of England, is central to the wider Anglican communion which represents over 85 million people in over 165 countries.

    “Same-sex couples would still not be able to get married in a Church of England church,” the statement said, confirming a BBC report overnight that bishops had refused to support a change in teaching to allow priests to marry gay couples.

    I’m actually a little surprised. They’re pretty alternative as far as main stream religions go.
    Or I could be thinking of Episcopals.
    But they’re basically the same thing.

    Episcopal church is much more liberal.

    It is about time churches follow what the Bible says
