Church of England abandons proposals for same-sex blessing ceremonies
www.bbc.co.uk
General Synod did vote to continue to look at the issue, but bishops say there are "theological and legal barriers" to having such ceremonies now.

Worth noting anyone stumbling in here who’s non-christian: My views on this topic have little to do with my political views. I believe in religious freedom for the secular world, which includes maintaining the legal recognition of same sex marriage as legalised in the United Kingdom in 2020 by a democratically elected government, but I obviously want the Church to adhere to Biblical teachings and not kowtow to the secular world.

Anyone here who is deceived by common lies that homosexuality is not a sin (and sin, as defined in Christianity, going against God as found in The Bible):

Yes, Paul was talking about homosexuality

And yes, it was about consensual activity

Romans 1:27

and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.

There is nothing in the greek that indicates this had anything to do with paedastry or child abuse either.
