There has not been, before that consultation, a time when the Churches in involved shared their own official doctrine of marriage, so that alone was a vitally important thing to have done. The pastoral responses to changes in Northern European societies by the Churches in the area does vary. The Churchs of Sweden, Denmark and Iceland, for instance, do permit marriage between two people of the same sex. The other Porvoo signatory Churches do not.

I was raised in a conservative Lutheran denomination but have a deep appreciation for classical Anglicanism. The scriptures seem to be quite clear on this topic. I really do not think we can get anything else out of them. It seems pretty clear that sexually activity is to be had within the sacramental bond of marriage and marriage is between a man and a woman. Why so much confusion?Joshuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03069838112753381381noreply@blogger.com
