Methodists ponder polyamory

Mandy Briggs

British Methodists should give ‘further theological attention’ to polyamory – a term for having multiple sexual partners simultaneously.

Polygamy should also be given some thought, delegates at the denomination’s recent conference in Telford, were told in a report.

A paper before conference stated: ‘Polygamy is practised within some cultures, and there are many examples of polygamy within the Bible. At present polygamy is not legally possible within the United Kingdom and it is a question that predominantly arises more in the context of relationships with world church partners.
