Open letter to Bishops says CoE failing to reflect views of gay Christians

Homosexuality will be high on the agenda at the four day General Synod.

As church leaders gather in London for the start of a four day General Synod, one of the issues on the agenda will be the Church of England鈥檚 stance on homosexuality. Fourteen retired bishops have written an open letter to the Church of England leaders accusing them of failing to reflect fully the views of gay Christians in their same sex marriage report that will be debated during the Synod.

Simon Sarmiento is one of the founders of Thinking Anglicans and is chairman of the LGBT Mission group. Susie Leafe is a General Synod member and director of the conservative Anglican group Reform.
