Welsh evangelical Anglicans face 
 uncertain future after losing vote

St Michael’s Aberystwyth is one flourishing Anglican evangelical church in Wales

The Church in Wales’s decision to allow blessings of same-sex couples has been met with deep sadness among evangelicals – and fears of an impending split within the denomination.

The Evangelical Fellowship in the Church in Wales (EFCW) said: ‘For many in EFCW, this decision will come with a sense of sadness that the Church in Wales has decided to depart from a traditional understanding of marriage, and with great uncertainty about how to move forward in good conscience.’ The EFCW executive was due to meet as en went to print.

The Church of England does not allow same-sex blessings or marriage.
