Muslim leaders in England are rebuking the Anglican archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, over the Church of England’s proposal to teach school children that same-sex unions are valid.
The admonition coincides with Pope Francis’ trip to South Sudan. He was accompanied by the archbishop of Canterbury and the moderator of the Church of Scotland — both pro-LGBT leaders whose denominations offer “same-sex blessings” and “same-sex marriage” in several countries.
On Friday, the Association of British Muslims wrote to Welby expressing its “concern about the teaching of sexual identity politics in schools, including Church of England schools.”
From summer on, “every Church of England primary school will teach that both heterosexual and homosexual marriages have equal validity,” Paul Salahuddin Armstrong, head of the ABM, noted in the letter obtained by Church Militant.
Armstrong acknowledged that British law recognized “same-sex marriage” but stressed that “many faith communities, both locally and globally, still hold to the traditional definition of marriage as defined by the Oxford English Dictionary, ‘the formal union of a man and a woman, as recognized by law, by which they become husband and wife.’”
