Church of England Raises Objections to Proposed Equality Bill

In Britain last week, the Church of England filed formal comments opposing a proposed Single Equality Bill that would harmonize and simplify a number of existing anti-discrimination laws. (See prior posting.) In its submission during the government's consultation on the bill, the Archbishops' Council complained that the Church could be forced to marry people who have undergone gender reassignment, and that faith schools might be required to "promote" same-sex relationships.
