Letter to the editor : Alternatives could have been better considered for sake of same-sex spouses

Notes: "I read with some interest 'Same-sex spouses not invited to next year's Lambeth Conference of bishops' (April 2019, p. 1). Besides just seeming rude and unchristian, it is unjust. A few more respectful alternatives could have been considered. Spouses are not invited at all. Why are spouses officially invited, anyway ? This is a conference of bishops, not their spouses. Bishops could be permitted to invite one other person of their choice. A spouse does not enter into it at all. All spouses are invited. Gives those opposed to same-sex marriage the chance to interact with real same-sex spouses. It might make their decision more compassionate and informed". [Text of entire article.]
