The Church of England's General Synod has voted to reject a controversial report on homosexuality and same-sex marriage.

The Archbishop of Canterbury had urged the Synod to approve the report ahead of the vote, adding the Church needed a "radical new Christian inclusion".

Well that should finish off the Anglican Communion once and for all.
And the fur us going to fly as church assets shifting out of the communion will get very real.

The Church of England's crucial vote on gay marriage has been thrown into doubt after the Bishop of Coventry admitted he accidentally voted against the report and several others may have made the same mistake.
The Right Reverend Dr Christopher Cocksworth apologised for the mistake last night, which he said was because of "a moment of distraction and some confusion over the voting process".
The bishop insisted that he did in fact support the report written by his colleagues and was "embarrassed" to have accidentally rejected it.

It should not surprise us when the mainstream Christian and Muslim religions remain firmly in the hands of the homophobes and misogynous hierarchy who refuse to grant all people equality.

That is why neither religions ar4e worthy of our respect.

That is also why both have grown their religions by military might instead of moral authority.
