Well, the Church of Scotland has got its
knickers in a twist and no mistake. Just before the end of the Scottish Government's consultation, it finally came out and said
that the laws on marriage should not be changed to allow same-sex
marriage. That must have taken some soul-searching on the part of 121
(George Street – HQ of the church). Given that we already have at
least one minister who has been openly living with a same-sex partner
in a CofS manse, what this latest pronouncement means is that the
CofS has ditched the requirement that sex should be kept only for
within marriage. To put it another way, by upholding one part of
Scripture, the CofS has effectively denied another. Forked tongue
indeed. It will be interesting to see how they slither their way out
of this one.....
