The Rev Richard Coles’ lecture to explore the Church’s approach to marriage
The subject of marriage – and in particular same sex marriage – is perhaps one of the most difficult and divisive issues faced by the Church of England.
At a free public lecture hosted by the University of Bristol on Tuesday 8 March, the Rev Richard Coles will set out the problems, explore possible ways through them, and ask how marriage within the Church of England may continue to be, as the Book of Common Prayer puts it, 'an honourable estate'.
