Rochester DEF support their Bishop's stance on Civil Partnerships

"As parish clergy in the Diocese of Rochester, we are most grateful to Bishop Michael Nazir-Ali for his recent letter to us with regard to the Civil Partnership Act 2004. We welcome his critique of both the Bill and of the House of Bishops' Pastoral Statement which, as he observes, is a "recipe for confusion".

It is regrettable that changes in church law have been introduced without any proper discussion and undermine the very teaching on marriage which the bishops state they wish to uphold. We are now faced with a situation which, as Bishop Michael recognises, "will severely test the Church's discipline and stretch pastoral relationships to breaking point".
