More UK cathedrals targeted for Luther-style protest warning Church ‘in crisis’ over gay relationships

A campaign targeting cathedrals around the UK is spreading off the back of the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation.

A list of ‘declarations’ – reminiscent of Martin Luther’s 95 theses – is being pinned to cathedral doors by a group of priests in protest at what they see as the Church of England’s increasingly liberal approach to same-sex relationships.

London’s St Paul’s Cathedral and Southwark Cathedral were the first to have the Southwark Declaration, a list of affirmations promoting conservative Anglican theology, attached to their doors on Tuesday night.

Then on Wednesday night Rochester Cathedral and Hereford Cathedral were also targeted in what is becoming a nationwide campaign.

The Southwark Declaration has now been pinned to the doors of St Paul’s, Southwark, Hereford and Rochester cathedrals

It follows on from the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation on Tuesday which marked the day Luther, then an Augustinian monk, allegedly nailed his 95 Theses, or criticisms of the Church, to the door of Wittenberg Cathedral in Germany.
