The former Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, has said he was ‘being thick’ to believe the Bible’s teaching on sexual ethics.

He said faithful and stable same-sex relationships are ‘a huge blessing’ to those involved and for society as a whole, adding, ‘I began to realise that I was being thick’ to have ever thought otherwise.

Anglican Futures, an initiative seeking to uphold orthodox biblical teaching within the Anglican Communion, said, ‘This is an extraordinary insult to millions of Anglican believers who hold on to that traditional understanding.’
