Lambeth Conference: University of Kent defends hosting event excluding same-sex spouses
by Nick Duffy, Pink News:
The University of Kent has defended its decision to host an Anglican conference that excludes same-sex spouses.
The university’s Canterbury campus is set to be the venue for the 2020 Lambeth Conference, a once-a-decade meeting of global Anglican bishops and spouses that has come under fire after Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby banned same-sex spouses from attending.
In a statement to PinkNews, the university defended the decision to host the £4,950-a-head event through its commercial venue hire service.
