Wherein I talk about the Church of England



Written: 1/16/2013

And sadly, no, this is not an Eddie Izzard sketch.

Britain is set to legalize marriage equality, but in a strange twist of fate, they will prohibit the Church of England from performing gay marriages.  Which opens a strange discussion about the separation of church and state, but then again, it’s not the United States.

The Church of England will allow gay bishops, even partnered gay bishops, but only if they are celibate.  So barring the fact that they can’t get married, at least in a church setting, they have a strange set of requirements, only brought upon themselves.

So, the odd thing, is now Muslims are mad that they are being treated differently.  It’s strange, for only the CoE to be treated one way, but being the state religion, I guess they can do that.

Still, it’s all very confusing, at least to a damn Yankee across the pond.

All my best,

Mike
