Royal Wedding bishop Michael Curry condemns exclusion of same-sex couples
by Nick Duffy, Pink News:
Bishop Michael Curry, who delivered the sermon at the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, has criticised exclusion of same-sex spouses from an Anglican gathering.
The 2020 Lambeth Conference, which will bring together Anglican bishops and their spouses from across the world, has been facing criticism after Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby banned same-sex spouses from attending.
The decision has sparked anger in the US Episcopal Church, after New York Episcopal bishop Mary Glasspool revealed she was personally contacted by Welby and warned not to bring her wife and partner of 30 years, Becki Sandler, to the once-in-a-decade summit.
At an Episcopal House of Bishops meeting on Friday (March 15), Bishop Michael Curry said he would make clear to Welby that the church “would like [the ban] to be reconsidered if there is any way that it can be.”
