What stance should the Anglican Church take on homosexuality?
Dr. Susannah Cornwall from the University of Exeter Theology and Religion Faculty takes us through the history of the relationship between The Anglican Church and Homosexuality. She highlights the nuances of this debate that are often missed when we reflect on this relationship. While the Anglican Church were among the first to support the decriminalisation of homosexuality, it's more because they saw it as an illness rather a crime. Furthermore, as a global church, the impact that any change in Theology has to be considered against the variety of political and social contexts. Furthermore, colonialism has often pushed a western agenda insensitively onto other groups without a true understanding of them.
We discuss the importance of the adjusted position on contraception by the Anglican Church and how this is pertinent to discussions about homosexuality, as well as what the debate has been and where the Anglican Church might go next.
