MPs threatened me over gay marriage, says Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby said he was summoned twice to Parliament and threatened with parliamentary action to force same-sex marriage on the Church

"... The Archbishop of Canterbury claims he was “threatened with parliamentary action” in an attempt to “force same-sex marriage” in the Church of England. ... His comments come following a landmark vote at General Synod, the Church of England’s legislative body, which last week ruled in favour of the new blessings. The result threatens to divide both the Church of England and worldwide Anglican Communion. ..."
Asks ironically: whatever happened to that "separation of church and state" thing?!
This is a good example of why Church and State should be separate, because in England, the Anglican church is the state church, lead directly by the monarch. The UK really either needs to go full Democracy, or full Monarchy, a constitutional monarch is really the worst of both.
Does the Archbishop of Canterbury not still place the crown on the head of the regent?
Yep. It’s interesting that Welby is saying this as he is a dyed in the wool swamp creature. I wonder if this bitch fest is a move to further try to unseat the government as there is a desperate push to do that right now. It’s interesting because Sunak is an Obama type plant but seems to have dropped off the face of the earth almost since he got into office. Also if he’s one of them the media are still going after him he’ll for leather so it’s definitely something to ponder
The Optic has changed and no longer belongs to the Oracle (Archbishop).
So escape routes must be planned. imo
