Question for Anglicans/Episcopalians: Do you support same sex marriage?

Question

For Anglicans worldwide, this is by far the most talked about issue in the Church.

Today Canadian Anglicans voted against a motion to allow same sex blessings.

What do you think about this matter?

Should Anglicans bless same sex unions? Is it a matter of doctrine? Of scripture?

Many Churches in North America have a position on this matter that is overwhelmingly on one side. But Anglicans seem very closely divided on the subject.

Where do you stand? What should the Church do?

Answer 1

Absolutely, I support it. I've been Episcopalian all my life, and I was taught from early childhood that to deny gays the right to marry is morally wrong, just as denying rights to women is wrong. My church believes that ALL people are invited to receive Christ, not just the ones who happen to be heterosexual. I'm glad that my church is actively attempting to combat homophobia and prejudice within Christianity.

Answer 2

I'm not an Anglican or Episcopalian...but I am a christian... and anglicans and episcoplians fall under Christianity....so I can tell you what I think

no... I don't support it
why?
In the beggining when God first created man...he didn't create another man to go along with Adam....he created a woman....he created woman to accompany man...and women bear offspring..not men...

If God gave us this big huge crazy hint that men and women were meant for each other...not men for men....why are churches so divided on this subject?

all God's laws are absolute....it's either black or white....no whishy washy gray areas....

AND...if gayness was alright...God would have created a guy for a guy and a girl for a girl....

BUT because it's not alright...God created woman for man.....

As i siad...I'm not Anglican but I think the Church for Angl. and Episcopalians....should start reading the Bible and stop crumbling under pressure that the world puts on them...

they need to realize a couple of things before they make decisions...not including if they won't face mockery from the world

Answer 3

Anglicans and Episcopalians are flocking back to the Church in droves over this. #1 Anglican priests are able to receive a dispensation from being celibate so they can become a Catholic priest even though they are married #2people are seeing that the Popes have stood pat on these important doctrines even though the world has been against them and they have not caved in.

Answer 4

There is no one Anglican Church anymore. I believe that the Anglican Communion should follow the Historic Christian Faith and morality and reject SS sexual unions and abortion. Anglicanism is supposed to rest on the the three legs of Scripture,tTadition and Reason(Natural Law)

Answer 5

Anyone saying God hates homosexuality is a sinner and is worse than Satan.

Homosexuality is genetic...hence God made them that way...hence they are just as good as rest of us and not for you or me or any other dinkus maximus to judge, act any differently to them as to straights

Answer 6

reading the seven letters to the churches of revelation will fit here..don't ya think?
anyway..where GOD is rejected..the congegation will flee.
and them..who are of GOD..will find him..them who never was of GOD..will create their own doctrine and sasid.GOD said.
can vileness of same sex be a procreation of the Creator design?? heck NO.
anyway..a shaking of these DEAD IN FAITH CHURCHES will create a new revelational church..ordain by GOD..who is POWEr.and truth..and love..LOVE is not salvation
OBEDIENDCE is SALVATION.
GOd said..same sex is pervertedness..if it is written..why ignore it? IF GOD..hate it..why associate with that sin?
depart from SIn..and cleave to purity. FOR GOD is HOLY..not perverted...prevertness is not holy nor of GOD..but purely from satan..who seek to destroy gays..and the likes of them..abortionist..too..GOD bless them..who SEEK and FIND HIM.
