Global South Primates issue statement on CoE gay bishops policy
“When the Church of England allowed civil partnerships in 2005, they said that ‘The House of Bishops does not regard entering into a civil partnership as intrinsically incompatible with holy orders, provided the person concerned is willing to give assurances to his or her bishop that the relationship is consistent with the standards for the clergy set out in Issues in Human Sexuality.’ Now, with allowing candidates for episcopacy to do the same, to whom should they give assurances?” – Global South Primates Steering Committee
