Speaking ahead of the 18th Plenary of the Anglican Consultative Council (ACC18) in Accra, the Archbishop reported that 85% of Anglicans still uphold the traditional view of marriage. During a press conference, the Archbishop emphasized the importance of loving those who hold different opinions on the matter. He said, “There isn’t a single Anglican position on the subject; there is a very honest statement that we disagree profoundly.” He added, “The more urgent [struggle] is to make sure that we disagree and love each other. That is the signal to the rest of the world that you do not have to hate those who disagree with you. You can continue to love them…They are human beings.” The Church of England, a part of the Anglican Communion, recently endorsed the decision by the Province's College of Bishops not to change the doctrine of marriage. The General Synod spent two days discussing various amendments to the bishops' response to the Living in Love and Faith program, a six-year examination of identity and sexuality. The bishops' proposals, released last month, stated that they were not altering the Church's doctrine of marriage, but also included a set of draft prayers for clergy to use for blessing committed relationships. The final motion, narrowly approved by the Synod, acknowledged the different convictions within the Church and expressed a desire to continue the journey together with the help of God. The General Secretary of the Anglican Communion, the Rt. Rev’d Anthony Poggo, acknowledged the diversity of opinions among the 42 provinces in 165 countries that make up the Communion. He stated, “The Communion was made up of 42 provinces in 165 countries that had different views on same-sex marriage.”](https://ghstandard.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Archbishop-of-Canterbury-350x250.jpg)
