Anglican Church slammed for excluding same-sex spouses from 2020 conference

From Reuters-

Leading gay Christians have accused the Anglican Church of hypocrisy following its decision to ban same-sex spouses from attending the church’s 2020 global conference. 

Canon Jeremy Pemberton, who in 2014 became the first Church of England priest to wed his same-sex partner, said the move to exclude LGBT+ spouses “panders to the views of the most extremely conservative” members of the Anglican Church. 

“I just think they increase public revulsion at their hypocrisy and their inability to treat people decently,” he told the Thomson Reuters Foundation on Monday.
