Oh, God, they’re still at it. Fully 3,500 years after the Levitical laws declared that a man lying with another man was “an abomination”, Justin Welby is managing the neat trick of pissing off both the conservative and liberal wings of the Anglican church. Though he has sought to mollify conservative bishops by “affirming the validity” of a 1998 declaration that gay sex is a sin, he has no plans to punish churches - including those in Scotland, Wales and the US - which allow same-sex marriage. This is the worst kind of fence-sitting: gutless, abject, contemptible. And anyone who feels marginalised by the Church of England’s cowardice and vaccillation might be wondering if this is a club they really want to join.
Pic licenced today...
