Church of England bishopsâ€™ proposals on same sex marriage "incoherent"

Proposals by Church of Englandâ€™s bishops banning same sex marriage in church but offering prayers of blessing instead, have been criticised as inconsistent and incoherent, a mess and entirely unsatisfactory. Speakers at a Religion Media Centre briefing, from both sides of the divide, gave their reaction to the plans and what might happen next. While for some, blessings mark a fundamental shift, for most there was dismay at missed opportunities for clarity - in either direction. Rosie Dawson hosted this discussion with guests Andrew Foreshew-Cain, Helen Lamb, Rev Dr Charlie Bell, Rev Dr Ian Paul and Rev Canon Dr Andrew Goddard.
