Anglican Diocese Invites LGBT People to Become Priests
An Anglican diocese in England is calling on clergy to invite LGBT people into roles of leadership in the church.
In a letter titled "Welcoming and Honouring LGBT+ People," the diocese of Lichfield in Staffordshire says the church must advance "radical Christian inclusion."
"We wish to affirm that LGBT+ people can be called to roles of leadership and service in the local church. We very much hope that they, like everyone else, feel encouraged to serve on PCCs (parochial church councils), or as churchwardens and worship leaders, for instance, and are supported in exploring vocations to licensed lay and ordained ministries. Nobody should be told that their sexual or gender identity in itself makes them an unsuitable candidate for leadership in the Church," it reads.
