NO YOU DID NOT.

For us filthy yanks, the equivalent of the Church of England in the US is called the Episcopalian Church, and I think they're pretty alright over here as well. They were one church that said yes when I was looking to marry my husband.

I didn't realize that the Episcopalians were affiliated with the Anglicans. TIL.

Bible also says if a man lay with a man as he would a woman, that he should be put to death. So maybe we just kind of decide on our own morals instead. I agree with you regardless of the text though in that an eye for an eye can sometimes be justified

The head of the Church of England is a billionaire king, does the church thinks it's okay if the British homeless squat one of the king's properties.

That priest just might. CoE has always had a fun mix of voices, they’re not good at following a party line (which imo is the best thing about them).

The church of England is a little late to the liberation theology party, hope it catches on over there

It's interesting that's coming from Deseret News, which is a publication owned by the Mormon church

He's in good tradition with cardinal Frings, bishop of Essen, Germany, 1942–1969.
