1. Ban on coversion therapy.
It is anticipated the Bill will be published very soon banning the use of conversion therapy. There is concern the bill will permit therapy when a person consents to its use. The fear is that, in order to placate Christian fundamentalists, the exemption will render the legislation practically useless.
2. New Salvation Army General takes up his post.
The General-elect takes up his post in August. Will he set about dismantling barriers to full inclusion?
3. Church of England blessing for individuals in same sex marriages.
The bishops will be presenting to General Synod proposals for blessing individuals in same sex marriages.
4. Uganda
The decision of the Ugandan parliament to persecute homosexuals, supported by the Uganda Anglican Church, doubtless will exercise General Synod given the hand-wringing reponse of the leader of the Anglican Communion.
I shall comment in detail as each of the issues as matters unfold.
