Church puts bishop on trial for following Bible on marriage
A US bishop has continued to defend the biblical position on sex and marriage during a disciplinary hearing, where he stands accused of ‘failing to conform’ to the Episcopal Church’s backing for same-sex marriage.
The Bishop of Albany, William Love, is accused of breaking his ordination vows by showing “unwillingness to abide by Resolution B012” – which stipulates that bishops must permit same-sex weddings to take place in their diocese.
The 2018 resolution says that if a bishop disagrees with same-sex marriage, they must invite another bishop to do so instead, but Bishop Love responded by stating that same-sex unions are “in direct conflict and contradiction to God’s intent” for marriage....
