Excerpt:
Do you know what a woman is? If so, you’re a ways ahead of the Church of England.
During this month’s General Synod, Senior Bishop Rt Rev Robert Innes was asked by lay member Adam Kendry to clear any confusion:
“What is the Church of England’s definition of a woman?”
It turns out church officials were previously making mere assumptions. And the question isn’t any longer so simple.
Courtesy of The Telegraph, the bishop’s written response:
“There is no official definition, which reflects the fact that until fairly recently definitions of this kind were thought to be self-evident, as reflected in the marriage liturgy.”
He called to new “complexities associated with gender identity.” In light of them, “additional care” must be applied.
The minister’s remark isn’t an absolute surprise. Religion has made massive strides toward catching up with culture’s wokest ways.
