Justin Welby said he was summoned twice to Parliament and threatened with parliamentary action to force same-sex marriage on the Church
The Archbishop of Canterbury claims he was “threatened with parliamentary action” in an attempt to “force same-sex marriage” in the Church of England.
The Most Rev Justin Welby said that he was twice summoned to Parliament over the issue as he blamed rising secularism for triggering the historic debate on blessings for gay and lesbian couples.
He also warned that the church should not be “dictated to”, “blackmailed” or “bribed” over the issue.
