Church of England turns blind eye to traditional teaching
The House of Bishops has approved 'baptismal-style ceremonies' for transgender persons, according to London's Daily Telegraph.
It is apparently the latest move on the part of the Church of England to bolster its falling membership.
But the new pastoral guidance is unlikely to bode well with conservative Anglicans, who ascribe to the biblical precept of “male and female created he them”.
The Church of England has turned a blind eye to the traditional teachings of the Church on sexuality which Anglicans have embraced for centuries.
Why then should it be surprising that so many of its members are leaving the Church?
Even those who remain will likely think twice when the stewardship campaign rolls around and members are asked to renew their pledges.
