- Notes
- "There was a lot of ink used in the April issue around the fact that same-sex spouses would not be invited to Lambeth ('Same-sex spouses not invited to next year's Lambeth Conference of bishops', April 2019, p. 1). While I personally disagree with the decision, the decision was made in accordance with the church's position on marriage, and rightfully so. The ink could have been saved, or used for discussion of other issues, if no spouses had been invited. It would have been a non-issue at this time -- and perhaps soon, the Anglican Communion will deal with the issue of same-sex marriage head on, rather than dithering". [Text of entire article.]
