Church of England To Allow Church Blessings For Gay Couples

Under consideration: The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, said the Church will now consider the recommendations
 The Archbishops of Canterbury and York yesterday published the Report of the House of Bishops Working Group on Human Sexuality.
And according to it, gay couples should be allowed to have their relationships blessed in church.

DailyMail reports that the report, written by former civil servant Sir Joseph Pilling and a team of senior churchmen and women, was published seven months after the Church first indicated it is looking at ‘accommodations’ for same-sex couples and four months after the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Reverend Justin Welby, told Church leaders that ‘we must accept there is a revolution in the area of sexuality.’
Recommendations: The report was put together by former civil servant Sir Joseph Pelling, pictured

It signals an end to the Church’s longstanding insistence that gay relationships are sinful and less worthy than heterosexual marriage.
And may now open the way for a reversal of the CofE’s opposition to same-sex marriage and the eventual appointment of actively homosexual priests and bishops

Archbishop Welby said yesterday that bishops will now ‘consider the report and decide how such a process might best be shaped.’

Today I charge as much as 1million to write a song. Truth is, Nigerian artistes have begun to appreciate songwriters. They pay me my money and appreciate me. I have written a lot of songs but I don’t talk about them because Nigerian artistes don’t like it when the songwriters take credit for composing songs for them.”  The proceeds from the caller-back tune is actually worth more than N50m.
