Anglican Bishops from across southern Africa have resolved that gays and lesbian partners who enter into same-sex should be welcome in their congregations as full members.
However, the bishops were divided over whether to marry same-sex couples in church‚ or to allow clergy to enter same-sex civil unions.
As a result, congregations are still not allowed to conduct gay weddings in their churches and the clergy are not permitted to be in same sex relationships.
According to a letter issued by Cape Town Anglican church on Monday, a document outlining guidelines on members living in same-sex unions will be sent to the church’s Provincial Synod for adoption.
In the letter, the church says it believes that its adoption by Provincial Synod would be an important first step in signaling to the LGBT community that the Anglican Church of Southern Africa, through their top deliberative and legislative body, see gays as welcome members of their body as sisters and brothers in Christ.
“We are of one mind that gay, lesbian and trans-gendered members of our church share in full membership as baptized members of the Body of Christ,” reads part of the letter.
However, the church says its congregations across southern Africa will not baptise children of same-sex couples, even though the church has agreed not to stigmatise the parents.

Guys the truth is painful to swallow and the thing is andale amatinamiza chifukwa choti we don’t want and not ready to hear the truth. You Catholic believers you must know who killed Pope John Paul 1 and why, i think if you start searching from there you will certainly know the truth. The Obama, Pope and United nations are fighting for New World order. The Pope’s part is to bring all religions to be one under one ruler the Pope himself.After this, is fulfilled its when we will see 666 coming into play. Go to revelations pali mpingo umene udzachite mbali posocheretsa anthu kuti 666 itheke. Which religion has the biggest followers in the world plus is busy getting involved in world matters at large. You can choose to see it coming or pretend you don’t see. But be warned its very dangerous to know but choose to ignore.
