MPs take aim at “backward” CofE same sex proposals
from Religion Media Centre:
MPs Ben Bradshaw and Peter Gibson have written to the CofE’s Second Church Estates Commissioner, Andrew Selous MP, urging him to express their disappointment at the proposals on same sex marriage which will come before the general synod in November.
The proposals suggest prayers for same sex blessings should go ahead, but there is a delay on pastoral guidance which would enable same sex clergy to be married and those opposed, to remain in the church.
In their letter the MPs say the proposals backtrack on previous promises and it is not acceptable to delay action already agreed: “Parliament expects the decisions already taken, promises made and the timetable previously outlined to be kept”.
