This announcement is bringing a lot of criticism to the Church of England with many people pointing out the hypocrisy in this proclamation.
It is indeed deeply sad. @churchofengland priests can bless battleships and animals but not the loving, sacrificial unions of two #LGBT people. The struggle continues, and goodness and the Gospel will eventually triumph. https://t.co/jaqbhLRSWm
