Liberal CofE motion 'may pass'

Ros Clarke, acting Director of evangelical Anglican organisation the Church Society, speaks to en's Lydia Houghton about the upcoming July General Synod session and Helen King's Private Members Motion titled, Same-sex relationships compatibility with Christian discipleship: "Professor Helen King (Oxford) to move: 'That this Synod affirm that there are no fundamental objections to being in a committed, faithful, intimate same-sex relationship, and that such a relationship can be entirely compatible with Christian discipleship.'"

LH: How likely do you think it is that Helen King's Private Members Motion will go through?

Ros: There has been a small but consistent majority for the revisionist position during this quinquennium, and on that basis it seems very likely that the King PMM will pass.
