Church of England bishops’ proposals on same sex marriage "incoherent"

Proposals by Church of England’s bishops banning same sex marriage in church but offering prayers of blessing instead, have been criticised as inconsistent and incoherent, a mess and entirely unsatisfactory. Speakers at a Religion Media Centre briefing, from both sides of the divide, gave their reaction to the plans and what might happen next. While for some, blessings mark a fundamental shift, for most there was dismay at missed opportunities for clarity - in either direction. Rosie Dawson hosted this discussion with guests Andrew Foreshew-Cain, Helen Lamb, Rev Dr Charlie Bell, Rev Dr Ian Paul and Rev Canon Dr Andrew Goddard.
