Really disappointed that the Anglican church do not have a clear view. The Holy Bible is very clear on this subject.

Hebrews 13:4 Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.
1 Corinthians 7:2 But since sexual immorality is occurring, each man should have sexual relations with his own wife, and each woman with her own husband.

I can now understand why so many believers are leaving your church.

Like many other issues, same-sex marriage is a topic on which Christians hold differing points of view. TMA believes it is important to present views from both sides and encourage respectful conversation.
