#AtheistRepublic 

The views and opinions expressed here are the commentators' own and do not reflect the official position of Atheist Republic.

Recently, to appease the conservative bishops, the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby, the leader of the global Anglican Church,  “affirmed the validity” of the 1998 Lambeth Call, which declared homosexual acts to be a sin. According to the original documents, “It is the mind of the Anglican Communion as a whole that same-sex marriage is not permissible.” Welby affirmed the validity of the declaration during the once-a-decade Lambeth conference with around 650 attending bishops, most of whom believe that questioning the biblical teaching is “unthinkable.” Some institutions under the Anglican church are opposed to same-sex marriage; some have accepted it. Those that conduct or bless same-sex marriages are churches in Scotland, Wales, the United States, Canada, New Zealand, Brazil, and Mexico. In contrast, those strongly opposed to this practice are from churches in Sub-Saharan Africa, Nigeria, Rwanda, and Uganda. This has also caused bitter divisions among churches and their congregants. Bishop John Harvey Taylor of Los Angeles said the declaration “divides, hurts, scapegoats, and denies.” The LGBTQ+ community heavily criticized this reaffirmation from the Archbishop of Canterbury. A statement in opposition to his move, signed by ninety bishops, including eight archbishops, stated, “We look forward to the day when we all may feel truly welcomed, valued, and affirmed.”
