From The Christian Institute-Popular opinion on gay marriage is “not a case for changing obedience to God”, the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby has said.
But Archbishop Welby said it would be “foolish” to ignore the “revolution” caused by same-sex marriage coming into law.
He made the comments while speaking to more than 6,000 people at a Christian conference.
Revolution
Justin Welby, who voted against gay marriage in the House of Lords, said he heard the “roar of revolution” when he listened to the debate about the legislation.
He said there was support for the Bill from all parties.
However he added, “popular opinion is not a case for changing obedience to God.”
Overwhelming
The Archbishop has recently said the Church must accept an overwhelming change in cultural attitudes.
He insisted the Church is not changing its beliefs about sexual ethics, but more should be done to tackle homophobic behaviour.

Immoral Opinion (from Welby. Equal emphasis on "immoral" and "opinion")
God bless the Episcopal Church!
