As a vicar, I won't be conducting 'gay blessings'. But I'm not confident any existing group will provide the practical, ongoing, robust, public support I'll need when -- and it's when, not if -- I'm targeted.

He continued: 'One of the big surprises for me at General Synod was to hear the Archbishop of York talk about the need for conversations with conservatives, talk of a settlement, talk of pastoral provision -- I hadn't expected to hear that. I think it's a significant move forward that the need for differentiation was acknowledged by the Archbishop of York and I think also the Bishop of London.

Speaking to members of the Anglican Communion in Accra, Ghana, where he is still visiting, he said that he was twice summoned to Parliament over the issue as he blamed rising secularism for triggering the historic debate at General Synod, the Church's legislative body, on the new blessings.

February 13 2023 By dvirtue Archbishop of Canterbury claims he was 'threatened by MPs' in an attempt to 'force same-sex marriage' into the Church of England

This means that the majority of bishops, clergy, and laity are agreed on this heretical teaching, calling good what God has called an abomination. Only 9.5% of the bishops, 43% of the clergy, and 46% of the laity are orthodox on this fundamental teaching.
