THOMAS D. WILLIAMS, PH.D. 30 Aug 2023

A majority of priests of the Church of England want the church to offer same-sex weddings and allow premarital and gay sex, according to a major survey.

The survey, conducted by the Times, found most Anglican priests think church teaching should be brought into line with public opinion on moral issues.

Most priests support a change to allow gay couples to get married in church, with 53.4 percent in favor and 36.5 percent opposed, revealed the survey, which assessed responses from 1,200 active Anglican priests.

The Church of England currently allows blessings for gay couples but only permits church weddings between a man and a woman.

A significant majority of the priests surveyed (62.6 percent) said the church should change its teaching on the immorality of premarital sex, with 21.6 percent accepting all fornication and 41 percent saying sex outside marriage is fine for people in “committed relationships.”

A little over a third of the priests (34.6 percent) said the church should not change its teaching on sex outside of marriage.

First Timothy 4:1

It's yet another example of the Church compromising to fit in with the religion of Secular Humanism.

Men today have to work 20 times harder than their grandfathers to secure a wife that will end up being 20 times worse than their grandmothers were.

Just the thing I want to pop into my head when I look at the mother of my children: her getting tri-holed by three mooks.

Grandma might have been a slut, but at least she could cook.

Hmmm. She did it for money and had about 70 customers (just assuming an active girl might have 10 partners at that age, so subtracting 10 as non-customers). Sorry honey, “whore” is an appropriate term to use. Would you prefer prostitute?

How is the C of E related to this?

It's the kind of world 1 in 5 of their priests want, or at least have no particular objection to (and the other 4 will surely get there eventually):

Ah. I thought maybe some of them had sanctioned sex work. That's next in the pipeline.

There's the Free Church of England, where several priests and ordinals are jettisoning the Church of England because of its moves towards "Progressivism."
